It's not over yet. Tomorrow will be even worse apparently. Ottawa is the focus tomorrow we were told this afternoon. Spooky times.

An anxious day today with absolutely no answers or updates. How many people got laid off today? No clue. How many left for tomorrow? No clue. My heart spiked every time I got an email today. Who knows when it's my turn? Feeling so uncertain. Can... — read more 

I know it is not over yet, but if the cut really is 5 percent, that is less than I expected when the next major round hit. Unless this is just the opening salvo, in which case, we are sc--wed.

Here's to being expected to do twice as much work from now on and be thankful because "we at least have a job!"

Trash products, bloated salaries, some belief that new talent can help win. What a winning formula for success. This company has devolved, and the Ford’s are all just sitting there, I hope the younger ones step up instead of su-king off daddies... — read more 

This has been very stressful, and unfortunately, it’s not over yet.

Please tell me they're high.

Do they vest RSU and EPSP while laying off or all is gone, if its not already vested?

If you have a transferable skill, don’t wait. Go. Leave Ford first. If you need a job, look somewhere else. Look how badly Ford treats their employees.

We think it’s bad in Ottawa and Dearborn… US carmaker Ford is facing a bleak future in Europe, an industry expert has said. "The situation is bad and the prospects are even worse," said Ferdinand Dudenhöffer, director of the Bochum-based Centre... — read more 

Have there already been any layoffs in Ottawa, or are they only happening in the US for now? Also, is your project part of FNV4?

Who deserves it and who doesn’t? Are they scapegoating?

I am really going out on a limb here (not), but the way things are going, in a few years people will be laid off with nothing more than a pat on the back and a hearty "good luck." Severance is on track to become something Ford used to offer. Mark my... — read more 

Pack your bags. Ford just made it perfectly clear we're not welcome here.

Based on the news they are laying-off around 350 people in connected vehicle services.

Could someone provide the severence package details

Application in Dearborn. That's the problem. The TEAMS need to co-located to deliver a complex solution. Doug is a smart guy, but we need people together seeing the problems first hand. Writing EPICS and JIRAS will only get you so far...

A thread to talk about layoffs. I can’t say I’m surprised. It’s been a sh-t show. Comment if you have been affected. Lots of people under Shareef are being sla-ghtered. It’s a massacre.

They will threaten, blackmail, coerce you. And they will make things up and paint a bad picture of you. Defamation of character all the way. They are trained in gaslighting and making you feel you have no rights or options and they will serve you... — read more 

Post safe info as you can and as the plan is rolled out.

Who fires them?

If I have not received a notice today does that mean I made it out or will they also be doing layoffs tomorrow. I'm thinking they said two so people can return equipment tomorrow

Share more details here.

Sorry if that sounds d-mb, I’m just so stressed right now my blood pressure is through the roof. I’m trying to make sense of everything.

They don't send the email to people who actually want it. These mo--ns do everything wrong.

Use Gmail, you can just add the files to emails and save as draft. Then you'll be able to open them and download on another machine. Once they inform you within minutes your PC will be locked and you'll not be able to get back into it.

Model e will never ever succeed. They have milked the company enough. Enough is enough.

Does anyone know if this has happened in the past, where they make us work from home and then lay off? One of my friend just got a call from his contractor about his lay off. What is the forecast? How many layoffs?

You guys need to chill. Clearly you don't know what Model e all encompasses. You probably came in on the last hiring spree. Go back to the basics. Learn how the company works, how the orgs function. And then maybe you can answer your own question... — read more 

Would the airbag deploy on impact? Yes or No?

Does anyone know how much will be the reduction? Rumors are 50-70% in some verticals

We got the email while pretty much everyone was either leaving or gone, so I couldn’t ask lol. My buddy doesn’t seem to have gotten the email but they’re a different department and job site. Also why’d the email say CVS? I thought we were SES now... — read more 

Signed, The Original and Real "It's coming...." guy

Could it be those who received the emails are safe while those who did are getting layedoff

I wish us all the best of luck.

Good luck for the next two days !!!
