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.

Folks need to stop saying they wish they were laid off
There are some thoughts you don't need to share with everybody. Keep them to yourself. Such comments might be fine between layoffs, but when so many people have been freshly cut and would give anything to still have a job, you sound like an... — read more

Anyone know of someone being un-fired by moving to a different part of the company?
I’m not thinking this is likely, but there are other parts of the company that need people with my particular experience and education. Has anyone heard of someone being un-fired by moving to another part of the company?
Is Dford done?
Saw almost everyone I know within dford get laid off today. Wouldn't be surprised if it was 75%+. I saw a lot of other orgs got the greenlight today that they're now safe, but we didn't get that in dford. Are there more layoffs coming this week for... — read more

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

Anyone from ford pro impacted?
I know of a couple and I thought pro was in the clear. Appears not.

Sept.25th is the next round of USA firings.
Ford + Plan Target 🎯 is 2,000 more salary heads being fired that last week of September. Heard it from an LL4 who was let go.
Lightning Price Jumps Force Order Holders to Bail
Not surprised. I saw an invoice for a Lightning at $88,000. Who can afford to pay that amount? https://fordauthority.com/2023/06/ford-f-150-lightning-price-jumps-force-order-holders-to-bail/
What's the overall impression?
Are we done?
GM did voluntary first
(bumping from another thread ) Too bad they didn't first do a round of voluntary cuts. I believe that could have saved some people who were let go this round. Post ID: @yyu+1nkglPkj
