Layoffs New CEO Big merger talks

I've witnessed hundreds of families being tear down as their jobs being replaced by H1B and OPT visas. This should stop and Ford should stop hiring H1B, H4, OPTand other phony visas out there.

Ford will introduce new EVs in 2027. The technology that Ford puts in these EV are all outdated. They are already being used in China since 2023. Ford is trying to benchmark what the Chinese EV implemented. This is embarrassing.

https://b60.ruckusfactory.com/ford-cuts-1500-from-ev-plantsadmits-market-way-smaller-than-anticipated/ It's about time. Loosing $45,000 for every EV Ford produced is a losing game.

Rebates gone, no where to hide, they will cut heavily

Rumors are the Ford will freeze salaries and reduce hiring in '26 in a effort to lower cost and be more financially flexible given macroeconomic uncertainty and stiff international competition.

I returned my badge and all my equipment. Not sure what else the hold up would be.

Curious if anyone has ever heard a higher ups candid opinion on this. Surely they're not in meeting rooms pretending it's actually necessary and don't notice how upset it makes people. Or are they really all some kind of NPCs just going with the larp... — read more

I don't get it. Ford decided to layoff 350 people in may. We can estimate this to be a savings of $42,000,000. Ford's net profit for 2024 was $5.9 billion. What was the point of the layoff? It seems like a drop in the bucket. Now I'm still looking... — read more
