There should be a mechanism to address the manager leadership vacuum. Many are simply not doing their jobs and are unqualified to have people responsibilities. In 2007, Ford had a headcount reduction phase where they walked out only managers. It was... — read more 

NESC said the lump sum pension goes into 401K today. Why can’t they move it straight into Rollover IRA??? What about the contributory after tax? That should go to a post tax account not a pretax 401K. Plus the 401K takes an extra 30 days to start the... — read more 

It's rapidly getting worse here. Now that we have once again seen how the company "rewards" underperforming, does it even make sense to try to have a great performance here? How much are the best employees rewarded for their great performance?

So, AOC isn't willing to pay $8 per month for Twitter, what can Ford get for subscriptions paid to the Ford billionaires? “Lmao at a billionaire earnestly trying to sell people on the idea that “free speech” is actually a $8/mo subscription plan”

Does anyone know if retirees still get the hsa reimbursement money? Haven’t heard or seen anything about it?

You ask: what the heck are you waiting for? Take the money and run. Seriously! We can't. It's only offered to LOW PERFORMERS. Only losers need apply. Not open to regular folks

There were about 100 low performers who were targeted with this plan. Then why send the note to hundreds of people leaders? Makes no sense!!!!

It looks like Rowley, Falotico and Armstrong are all taking the PEP 🤣 Now we are down to only 90 overpaid executives listed on our website. Cutting that in half would help the financials and not impact the business.

They are super fast. They are quiet. They dont require gasoline. You can drive by gas stations and smile. When it has been obvious for years that the U.S. electrical grid is incapable of sustaining wholesale conversion to EV cars . . . and that... — read more 

Low performers are being targeted. So when they leave, the mid level performers are now the "low performers". This strategy will never work, and never end.

We can't. It's only offered to LOW PERFORMERS. Only losers need apply. Not open to regular folks.

I hear some are offered retention bonuses. In my opinion, this is another sign that the management is losing control and that they no longer know what they are doing. I'm trying to think in which cases I would accept that option, that is, how big... — read more

"They may know they weren't going to improve or they're not the right fit or they're just checked out," Bradley said. I say where do I sign up? I want to check out. Only losers may apply.

Is there any information on how much the severance package will be for salaried employees who were rated as underperforming?

Much talk about nothing? If truly under 100. Unless its just another scam. Which it is. Why not open it up to everyone who wants to go, which would be fair. No. Only poor performers may apply. Farce. Stinks.

I’d pay big money to watch him carry a sink into Ford WHQ !

Why weren't underperforming white-collar employees laid off in August already?

At least they're offering a buyout - Ford is just firing people in this age and service range with a few months of salary. Ford is targeting people close to qualifying for their full pensions and not offering a deal to them.
