Anyone else noticing how this "OS Behavior" is being perverted to subjectively shirk work, or put down others who are going above and beyond? Pretty slick trick to kn--e the competition or people you don't like in the back. And as always at Ford... — read more

Purchased Service Layoffs
Does anyone have any insight into the purchased service layoffs ... like why? I was told its happening everywhere, at least in North America. Seems like a petty move right before Christmas that won't really save the company that much money if they're... — read more

Tomorrow is Friday the 13th. This will be a busy day for layoffs.
Can tell a lot of people are already gone due to fewer people in each dept. Cannot get phones answered anymore in lots of depts. Preparing to move more duties to Mexico and India.
Rapidly deteriorating quality of workforce
It should be a big red flag as to where we are headed. Once they need again a really competent, experienced and skilled workforce, there will be none. They are creating a generational gap by preventing people from progressing in their careers and... — read more

Short Term Gains, Long Term Stupidity
....One of the ways companies are prioritizing shareholder value over long-haul strong employees is by doling out what Trainor calls “phantom PIPs [performance improvement plans],” he said. “They’re pushing out really good employees that have never... — read more
Ford HIL
Ford HIL is the highest turn over rate. They hire on contract when program is critical and let go people when things slow down. If you are considering to ever convert to full time then stay away from hil is you have options otherwise join in and keep... — read more
Ford is working hard to reduce layoffs - by getting people to quit on their own
That’s the impression I’ve gotten recently. The work is increasing, the pay is staying the same, and the atmosphere is becoming unbearable. Basically, they're piling on the pressure, clearly hoping people will crack and simply walk away. It’s beyond... — read more
TH? I am pi---d off
I am pi---d off. What was said in the TH made sense, and is about a 180 degrees turn from the direction we were going. So why am I pi---d off? Maybe because the company shouldn't lost its way in the first place (I blame you, Bill Ford). Maybe because... — read more

Got a contract role in HIL team, should I join?
I am still debating if I should join Ford as a HIL engineer and it is a contract role. I have another contract role in Caterpillar. Please advise, what should I do? All I see is everyone predicting layoffs.
I have yet to see anyone who actually deserves it to be promoted
How come that 90% of the time only weasels climb up? No wonder we got where we are.
Train station
No one cares about the train station restoration. Now, Notre Dame, that's worth talking about! What a magnificent building!
Ford culture
Ford once had a great culture, but what happened? How did we go from being a company people were proud of to this toxic environment that everyone seems desperate to escape? It’s hard to believe we’ve ended up here, and even harder to understand how... — read more
Why tariffs will not help Ford
Yeah, what about all the parts Ford imports to build their cars? They’ll cost more. What about the cars Ford builds in other countries? They’ll cost more. Tariffs are supposed to work by making imported goods cost more so that consumers will buy... — read more

Huge re-org in ADAS not looking so good
Pretty much what the title says. People are being shuffle like cards on a deck across department. It's almost like they are separating people out so it will be helpful to cut entire teams at some point. Any other dept seeing this
So you Ford guys are just going to sit idly why GM gets at the PR News with 130,000 buckets of bolts-built GM trucks that tailgates fall open??
You Ford guys need to brainstorm and figure out a way to grab the free PR News GM is generating with their truck tailgates that fall open. With Ford's stock hovering around 11 bucks these days, Ford needs all the free PR News they can get.

Can you get rehired if you get laid off?
Like at any point even 10 years down the road?
Are those incentives over?
Remember a few years ago when they paid people to quit (2021 I think) or another year they offered to opt out of the PIP process and take severance? I'm wondering if they'll do that again or they're just planning to do layoffs. The company is not in... — read more

Ford Single Handedly Destroyed the EV Market

Failed ev mandates will be rolled back
With the incoming trump administration the failed ev mandates would be rolled back. Finally the abusers of that mandate (you know who it is)who outsourced jobs in the name of evs will payback.
