Cuts have nothing to do with skills

It is disappointing that the company cut some very capable people, while those who were not nearly as skilled and engaged are still safe. What is the message to those who remain? Perhaps that Ford is interested in nothing but money.

Paperwork done?

How many is enough?

How many major rounds of cuts are we going to have in one year before it's enough?

Getting payslips after layoff

My role was impacted and life@ford access went away in minutes before I could process the information. Any idea how I can get my final few months payslips?

Laid off very close to retirement?

Shame on Ford! It seems that there are quite a few of those who are laid off, even though they have very little left until retirement?

Leaving for a competitor

Do you still get “walked out” or let go immediately if you submit a resignation and let them know you’re leaving for a competitor?

Any executive firings?

I've been following along with the news reports and haven't seen any executive departures. There were a few in the last months but anything this week?

Ford Layoffs, MI WARN Act Applicable?

Does anyone know if Michigan’s WARN Act is applicable to this week’s layoffs? If laying off 500 or more workers they are supposed to let you know 6 months in advance. Perhaps that’s one of the rights they are so anxious to get you to waive by making... — read more 

HMI decimated

I was let go Aug 2022. Today the manager that read me the script from HMI was let go. 12 people from my old group were let go. Designers from studio. HMI is dead.

Lightning Price Jumps Force Order Holders to Bail

GM did voluntary first
