Sorry

Every desk/seat was taken. People were parking in the driveway and even on the sidewalk. I was lucky enough to get a desk with a broken monitor. It was crazy.

An immediate mandate to RTO 3 days a week was handed down in ET today, despite recent assurances that we would remain 1 day a week in-office until Sept 1st, and then go to 4 days a week. Worst part? Entire teams (dozens of LOCAL people) under a... — read more 

If so, tell me your story.

The rest of the time? I’m just lazing around. Is it wrong not to look for more work when I have zero plans to stay here long-term? I don’t think so. Ford hasn’t shown any loyalty to employees, so why should I show any in return? Why bother?

1.7 average...... Bonus Factor 0.37

Genuinely wish best of luck to those who will have to find desks/parking/meeting rooms every morning from now on. Gonna really maximize productivity to have people tripping over each other in the hallways and hearing a dozen separate meetings going... — read more 

There will be several rounds and it will mainly be focused on those who worked on FNV4 and were made redundant by the cancelation of that project. There are many.

And Friday 08-09-25. I thought it was going to be Monday 08-11-25?

Not the place to ask, but hoping to get some that have retired recently. With Ford’s future in doubt, it makes sense to go with the lump sum, but then the money will have to go into the market which you cannot trust. I fell like I’m in lose-lose... — read more

We are gonna get counseled out. I can feel it. Why don’t we just pitch massive layoffs. Even if they don’t need it. Usually freaks everyone out, gets the attention off us. Marin, put together a radical right-sized proposal— just in case we need... — read more

It’s the most humbling thing I’ve ever seen. Seventy percent of all EVs in the world, electric vehicles, are made in China. They have far superior in-vehicle technology. Huawei and Xiaomi are in every car. They have facial recognition. Cell phone... — read more 

Oh boy, here we go! August 11th, Ford’s bringing out their Skunk Works EV, the stealth-bomber of electric cars, except instead of flying under the radar, it’s barreling toward a cliff with the confidence of Wile E. Coyote in a rocket suit! And who’s... — read more 

I just hit week five and already feel like this might drag on a while. Not feeling too hopeful at the moment but trying to stay focused. Just wondering if others are in the same boat.

With folks going back into the office, I wonder if Covid, flu, and colds, numbers increase?

Scene One: Tesla, 2018. Doug’s big debut! The Model 3 production ramp. Picture it: robots dancing, parts flying, Musk sleeping on the factory floor. Meanwhile, Doug’s like, “Uh, this automation thing… is hard.” Result? Elon yanks the wheel, drives... — read more 

How has Michigan’s economy historically depended on Ford, and what are the risks of relying too heavily on a single corporation? Could they be perceived to uphold a power that allows them to act recklessly?

Do you think these past few years, this company has been in a bad storm? Like karma? Or evil eye?

Anyone any idea? Did the skunk work team deliver any production model which ford is going to show to world on Aug 11? Looks like lot of other orgs will be redundant after that for sure

I was let go in 2023. I was pension eligible. I am currently working as a contract. How do I get hired back at Ford. I need a HR contact please-just to waive whatever requirement they have.

I personally am happy about the return to office mandate. I think it will be good and healthy to see and smell other colleagues every day of the week. The washrooms are usually a misma of P!ss and sh!t A mist of human excr-ment fills the air and will... — read more 

It’s not clocking to us that revenue without context can be as misleading as counting chips at a casino without looking at how much you bought in for. If a company spends unprecedented sums to chase that revenue, higher sales can coexist with... — read more

I don't expect any layoffs until Oct or November. The company expects a lot of a attrition from retirement quits due to the RTO mandate. Why would they do it any sooner and pay a severance to all those who are going to leave on their own?

Anyone see how many people were posting #SayNoToRTO in the all hands chat this morning? I was shocked at just how many I saw. I think #SayNoToRTO should become a meme within the workforce.

Model E is running out of money. When will it end? OMG. If I owned a business that lose over $1b every 3 months, I would file for bankruptcy already.
