Preparing for the inevitable / worst case scenario. Were there any packages offered for those laid off and if so, what was the breakdown based on years of service?

I am planning to completely quiet quit here (i.e. coast) so I can collect 2 paychecks instead

Sheesh, the posts here lately are way out there. Let's discuss how respected Ford executive leadership JF, BF, DF and even FLV are instead.

What did UAW say regarding Fords counter offer from Friday Sept 8th? Any news?

I've been stuck at Ford for just two measly years, and if I could hit a reset button, I'd be out of here faster than you can say Jack Robinson. But no use in dwelling on "what ifs," I guess. At this very moment, this job is what's keeping a roof over... — read more 

Our history with transmissions is pretty bad. Just saying.

Maybe the white collar workers should cintract the Blue Flu when blue collar go on strike. Ford would really feel the burn. Let's see the LCCs handle it ALL...

I moved out of Ford and joined a new company. One thing that I noticed is that people are respected well in my new company. I was working in Cloud Platform (Model E) and the culture was very toxic and People leaders never respected the GSRs. The... — read more

Not going to lie, after getting let go in June I’m really hoping the UAW strikes for weeks if not a month or two to stick it to Farles. He goes on Fox & Friends basically saying “we have them a great proposal” when it’s garbage. Him and his... — read more 

What is it like, how did the process work? Cannot go into details because it would expose me, but I really want to get out through a layoff. Don’t want to slack or have poor performance, just want to shoot up to the top of the list in the quickest... — read more

This is sickening. Maybe the UAW should ask for stock options too? https://fordauthority.com/2023/09/ford-ceo-jim-farley-ranks-14th-on-2022-highest-paid-list/

I hear so much bad stuff about Ford from its own employees, news channels and pretty much everyone I talk to about the quality of cars, management, losses on every EV they sell, frequent recalls, frequent layoffs etc. This is an insane environment... — read more 

There is literally no code reviews, people are pushing stuff to prod, there is zero code quality checking. Better to get the 6 months pay and then leave this dumpster fire, rather than stay and stagnate.

I wonder how long I can coast before anyone realizes

Especially after hearing of the bloodshed here. Why would anyone willingly want to work for this company? Everyone is jumping ship as fast as they can

Does anyone know if management was given direction as to how to rate the members of their team? Or does the manager rate at their discretion? Ie: 10% below target, 80% at target and 10% above target. Does the 10% below target on mid-year create... — read more

Wondering if I should expect to have a job , 1 year from now

So we have 20 days until D-day? This seems like a pretty unhealthy way to work a job

How do you know for sure? People were saying the last week of August a few weeks ago. Just curious.

Time to bring back mass transit to Michigan.

I have just been here for 1 year and have so much anxiety working here. Seems like every quarter, people are being thrown out. We may have survived the 8/28/2023 and now I am looking at 9/25/2023 next apparently. I can't live like this, this is... — read more

Their job is only to parrot what the LL5 says and to tell the GSR if the LL5 likes you or doesn't like you. They can be replaced by a self-service kiosk and a 1800 number.

Oh, I'm just bursting with curiosity here! It's truly a mystery how some folks manage to skyrocket up the corporate ladder at warp speed, all while apparently lacking the essential qualities of role maturity and a solid technical and management... — read more
