Packing his s$@_ is my guess.....

For those that will be let go, unfortunately your last day will be today. These meetings were to save face from last years layoff disaster. If your manager or any higher up asks you about what you are working on, act clueless. They want you to fork... — read more 

I went out on August 22. I had 38 years so I was able to retire, but the feeling was the same. Betrayal, grief, fear. I survived 8 headcount reductions in my career but knew this one would be different. After the cut, I was very active with Right... — read more

Paralyzed by anxiety. what a cruel world.

That's it, that's the message.

My contract was terminated back in April after 18 years there. I found a great job making more money with a smaller company and the atmosphere at ford looking back is absolutely toxic and not worth the stress... If you get cut, consider it a... — read more 

I haven't received anything yet.

Chuck Gray just sent out a pop up VHE town hall meeting a few minutes ago. The meeting is from 1:50 to 2:15. Looks that he will talk about the layoff things. He sent out the meeting notice so rash. He forgot to tell the time the meeting will... — read more

Keep this mantra in the back of your mind in the coming weeks. If an opportunity presents itself do not be hesitant to seize it. Make sure that you are always looking out for yourself as the companies are not.

Troubles in Ford paradise. Really smart to thin the ranks of our salary team. NOT! A prior recall by Ford Motor is coming into question by U.S. safety regulators. The concern is the fix for the recall may not be adequate. The recalls issued in... — read more 

A LL5 told me their job / department is moving to India and THEY need to find new jobs or their out. I do not know if this is the beginning of the 2023 terminations or a continuation of the slow destruction of the US salary work force. Anyone else... — read more 

I find this mildly funny but of all days to get the EC survey to as how I am feeling. It's like a sadistic joke. Too bad I can't give them large negative numbers.

Not sure if it's still too early via the pay cycle but mine does not show up. Anybody else?

I am here at work in person and nothing. It's quiet. Managers calendars have nothing on them this entire week. Everyone here in the building obviously are RTO and we are good. False alarm as per usual. Our leadership will let us know if and... — read more 

I was not able to sleep well last night, so I started work today early. After listening to music for 1 hour in the work PC until it was 6:00 am, I connected the VPN, and checked the email, chat, calendar, etc. All good, no last minute... — read more 

If these multinational companies COULD have offshored their engineering, they would have done it long long ago. I remember back in the 90s that Ford’s Electronics Division tried to move some of its design activity to Chihuahua. They sent loads of... — read more 

It was all of a sudden notice given by my agency manger. I have been working at ford since 2 and half years. I survived last 2 majors layoffs happened in the last year. Caught up this time. It was unfortunate to see loosing all the access to the... — read more 

I don't want to spend any more sleepless nights. If layoffs will happen, let them happen tomorrow, and let's move on. I find the wait much worse than anything else. And it seems that's all we've been doing for the last couple of years, waiting for... — read more 

So tired of this. I don’t know timing for certain but do know some of my direct reports will be impacted and there is nothing I can do about it. Sad that the co keeps putting everyone on edge for death by a thousand paper cuts. Hope all who are... — read more 

Imagine a young person watching their parents or other adults in the engineering profession be so callously tossed to the curb like this. What kid is going to want to take those “hard” math and science classes just to have a life of economic... — read more 

Does your manager need to sign an NDA or anything prior to letting people go? Does the manager actually do the firing or is it your skip level manager? Thanks in advance and best wishes to you all.
