High seniority 30-year design manager just let go.
Wonder if they'll cancel the Global Town Hall
Or, if they have it and just pretend everything is beautiful in Ford Land.
JF and BF DO NOT know what they are doing
FoMoCo will not be trusted anymore! Tesla will take over the company soon!
Toxic Ford! Chasing Tesla's shawdow until it gave in!
FoMoCo has changed from a family friendly atmosphere to cut throat! Mark Fields and Joe Henrich both were a huge loss to the company. It went down hill from there because the company became too greedy. It lived off the "we didn't take the bail out"... — read more
Ford Layoffs
So management finally decided to tell the truth. Farley is clueless. And upper management wonders why morale is so low. Maybe Farley should layoff himself and all his cronies.
Ford will keep shrinking until it has new leadership
This isn’t the first wave of job cuts linked to Ford’s restructuring plans. 8,000 roles were cut from the Ford Blue business arm in July 2022 and 3,000 employees and contract workers from departments across the US, Canada, and India were laid off in... — read more
Is GDI&A next on the chopping block?
The anxiety is really getting to me. Does anyone has any insight on layoffs in GDI&A?
JF and BF know what they are doing
I can feel it...our quality and launches are already improving due to the cuts. These guys are genius.
Did anyone get meeting invites yet?
I’m checking my LL6’s calendar, will he be the one to break the if I’m affected?
The guy in the F150 rolled down his window and said it was true
It’s happening, layoffs today and tomorrow.
Anybody else can't access outlook?
Outlook seems to have an error. is that a sign?
Will Tuesday be just as bad?
I'm up at 3 a.m. stressing over this so I'm not even sure if I should say "will today or "will tomorrow" be just as bad. Usually, if the layoffs last more than one day, the brunt of it happens on the first day and it's mostly getting to the people... — read more
Any Rumors on Sustainability?
Is BH or MW out? Any rumors or cuts there?
Can’t sleep
I keep reading the messages here I don’t know what I expect to find because no one knows anything for sure. Well, I shouldn’t assume that. There probably ARE people reading this who know exactly what’s going to unfold in the next couple of days, but... — read more
ANTS
Ever see the movie Ants? They revolt against the Grasshoppers and refuse to work and prepare them for winter...
Any updates on Aaron Rajda’s team(s)?
Please share
From the news: “Ford has declined to comment on the number of positions being cut“
WHY??? If the number is low, then I can mentally ease up and go about my daily work. If the number is high, then I am mentally prepared, and take it like anything else in life. Why treat us like children and keep information away from us? This is... — read more
Is this really true
I have many LL6 friends who said they weren’t aware of any layoffs. Media is making rumors.
Inefficiency
When Farley complains that engineering is inefficient compared to other OEMs but then does 3 mass layoffs within a year…. Yeah… as if being inefficient is our fault.
Are new FCGs safe?
I just started and this is my third week. I'm in the PD.
Sign your rights away?
Does the waiver signed in exchange for severance really prevent someone from suing Ford?
Deja vu!
You should’ve been preparing since last year’s major layoffs! I mean I see lot of posts of anxiety and stress and what not! I seen these same exact posts before! Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me. You survive this round and... — read more
Has anyone received notice yet?
I see the 15 minute meetings on managers calendar, but do not see anyone in our department with matching notice.
8,000 involuntary firings is the number for USA
It’s terrible, awful, pathetic, ruthless how JF and BFJr treat their hardworking salary NA employees. That number comes from Jim Farley the source 25%.
Severence Expectations
Can someone laid off last time comment on the severence they recieved? Did everyone receive 30 days?
Vacation
I am on vacation for the next two weeks. What happens if I don’t turn my laptop on?
WARN act notices
There are no WARN act notices from Ford: https://milmi.org/WARN/ Doesn't this imply that there will be fewer than 500 layoffs?
Losing your Health is much worse than Losing your Ford Job
Layoffs at Ford are going to continue until this company goes under. So don't lose your health worrying about this stupid job. Don't be at their mercy or they will control your life. Take care of yourself and your family. All the best.
LAYOFFS happening Tuesday, Wednesday

Last week lots of coworkers posted on LinkedIn celebrating the company's 120 year history. Why?!?
Who in their right mind would be proud to work for this company? All this company does is pander to the political wind of the day, sc--w their customers, dealers, vendors, and employees, and act like they are high and mighty because they have been... — read more
Focus on looking for a new job
It's easy to say that everyone should focus on looking for new offers rather than thinking about whether and when you will lose your job here, however, stress and anxiety are high, so it's not so easy to do in practice. How do you handle this tense... — read more
Was Ford Next and FLV separated?
Let us pray, they are costing us $3 BILLION this year.
Let's petition to Biden to evoke Ford's 9.2 EV loan
They got a loan for EV development last week and fire Model e staffs right this week !?? Any creditor would require a serious explanation.
Not even going to bother working till all the emails are out
Can't think and function properly with all this uncertainty. I'm not working till we get an all-clear.
Reporter looking to talk to Ford employees

Where is the $9.2 billion government loan going?
Supposed to go to EV, but now they're having layoffs in the E divisions?
