How are you supposed to "get back out there" and search for a new job when you feel like an abject failure?

It takes a long time to build a reputation. Tragic .

They won't stop until they offshore every single position they can offshore. If you think you're safe and you worked from home at any point, think again. This is the goal.

Used to think Ford was building cars—turns out we were just vibe coding in Figma and naming commits “final_final2_thisOneFixesIt”. The CVS org? It wasn’t Connected Vehicle Software. It was Confused Vibes and Slack. You’d spend half your sprint... — read more 

Can we conclude that all emails have gone out by now? That people who are affected know it by now?

Nissan loses $4.5B, needs a plan to survive? Ford’s plan is…? https://www.motor1.com/news/759463/nissan-lost-money-plans-to-survive/

I got the privacy consent notice with single Accept button this morning but no email yet, I checked with 2 other teammates they didn't get anything like that, does it mean am I on the chopping block? I am under SO org.

Did the gang survive?

Will the Cdn govt be offering MAID for those who have been laid off? I'm considering all of my options and that is one of the many on the table

I'm sitting here hoping to receive that email and nothing. Why don't they offer VBOs before layoffs is beyond me.

Our supervisor just confirmed that this isn't the end. This isn't even the start of the end. It's just the beginning. I fear for anyone with a mortgage - it's going to be bad. Job market is ABYSMAL and is flooded with international students willing... — read more 

For those who got canned (like me), what packages did you receive? I was with Ford for 7 years and got very little. Not enough to pay for my mortgage and car lease for the next year :(

I saved 20% or more on my car insurance by switching to Geico.

I've been jumping from one thread to another, trying to piece things together. Can we post location and number of people hit here, if you don't feel comfortable with sharing anything else?

Why are people mentioning a second round in June/July? How would that make sense—hitting the same teams again? Why not just do it all at once and start rebuilding morale?

Ford release the new Capri and the design is already outdated comparing to the competitors. This is what happen when Ford release new vehicle that take 5 to 6 years to design and build. Our competitors can do it in 2... — read more 

For those about to get laid off. Are there any tips on what should or should not be asked? Anything that should be prepared before the meeting?

If you make it until noon today you are safe...until the next round mid-June. Best of luck friends.

I was part of the layoffs yesterday and I am really confused. I always received good reviews and one of the team’s most experienced engineers. Is anyone familiar with how these layoffs were considered? I cant help but feel it’s personal :( One... — read more 

No one is safe until EOD Wednesday. This is going to be intense. Good luck everyone. Looks like the LL5 who mentioned it will only be all clear after lunch on Wednesday was telling the truth. Everyone is stressed.

Bless your heart.

Still no official "it’s over" message, and my manager stayed suspiciously quiet, so I am definitely still worried there might be more coming tomorrow.

How long has ford been monitoring because I heard rumors of this before I ever received a notice but I feel like they only did it last second so now I am wondering what are they really collecting data wise

A co-worker seems to be a busy person, always coding but got laid off today, low performance?

This morning/last night, rumors were going around here that if you could attach files to emails in Outlook, you were safe, and if you could not, you were probably going to get cut. Just curious how that ended up shaking out. I still had attachment... — read more 

He will and has hamstrung ADAS to let his pet project move forward at the expense of Ford.

The focus tomorrow is supposedly folks working out of the Ottawa office. Best of luck everyone, it's going to be a very difficult day with many job cuts and many goodbyes to hardworking colleagues. Try to get some sleep.

With the failure of fnv4, more rounds are inevitable and this was intimated by our LL4 this afternoon. Hold on for dear life (HODL) everyone. Good luck.

Some may remember, in 2019, Ford Land did their layoff ahead of everyone else. It is very likely that CVS decided to go ahead of everyone else’s schedule. Unfortunately Tech & Auto will experience a lot of layoffs this year. Tech giant Microsoft is... — read more
