4-day RTO is layoffs in disguise
Layoffs in disguise. Ford is dying with recalls and can't turn a profit. Layoffs signal maker weakness and spook shareholders. Having people leave voluntarily hides what's really going on. Upper management is clueless on how modern workforce... — read more

It's now...4 major changes in as many years?
I have figured this company out

If you get Terminated, can you collect Unemployment?
