This week was pretty concerning; seems like a matter of time before I end up on the chopping block. Wish the economy was better so there would be better opportunities but seems like its worth it to get started earlier on trying to find a better... — read more 

Did the bracket department survive the cuts?

Why do they keep their jobs? If I sit through one more Return on Investment (ROI), I ask how do I control this? Upper management controls the budgets, decides what gets cut, project approval, etc. Advice I give to upper management, take your car... — read more 

This was my first time going through something like this ( even though I am thankful I wasn't affected) and I don't know how I will be able to have any real focus on the work I am doing here. Im sure most are like me and probably looking for an... — read more 

Did any LL5 and up included in layoff?

I guess they would sc--w there brother out of a dollar if they could.

It is disappointing that the company cut some very capable people, while those who were not nearly as skilled and engaged are still safe. What is the message to those who remain? Perhaps that Ford is interested in nothing but money.

Has anyone signed and turned in the paperwork yet for the lump sum and medical?

How many major rounds of cuts are we going to have in one year before it's enough?

My role was impacted and life@ford access went away in minutes before I could process the information. Any idea how I can get my final few months payslips?

Am I interpreted it wrong or it is what I thought. In the Ford CTP package it states that you are not eligible for reemployment with ford directly or through agency, except against law. Also you cannot accepted any assignment from other companies... — read more 

Shame on Ford! It seems that there are quite a few of those who are laid off, even though they have very little left until retirement?

Do you still get “walked out” or let go immediately if you submit a resignation and let them know you’re leaving for a competitor?

I've been following along with the news reports and haven't seen any executive departures. There were a few in the last months but anything this week?

Was wondering why Mr. mount everest jumped ship a month ago. Do you think Mr. triathlon knew this was coming ahead of time and saved himself?

I was laid off yesterday. If you are paid a lump sum severance, can you file for unemployment in MI once its paid out?

Managers sure seem to have quite a few 20 minute "private" WebEx meeting today.

There are some thoughts you don't need to share with everybody. Keep them to yourself. Such comments might be fine between layoffs, but when so many people have been freshly cut and would give anything to still have a job, you sound like an... — read more 

Ford laying off 'at least' 1,000 salaried and contract workers. It will lose $3 billion making EVs this year. Ford is now likely losing more than $30,000 on every electric it sells. Last week the federal government (i.e. you) loaned Ford and... — read more 

I'm on vacation into next week. Yet the all clear has been given for my org. Does that mean I'm safe?!

My next vehicle will probably be a Jeep.

What teams actually design and plan these layoffs within Ford? Do my engineering LL6's, 5's and 4's have visibility or involvement in planning? Do they know beforehand?

I’m not thinking this is likely, but there are other parts of the company that need people with my particular experience and education. Has anyone heard of someone being un-fired by moving to another part of the company?

Saw almost everyone I know within dford get laid off today. Wouldn't be surprised if it was 75%+. I saw a lot of other orgs got the greenlight today that they're now safe, but we didn't get that in dford. Are there more layoffs coming this week for... — read more 

0-5 years only one month of salary paid for those people being laid off. That’s is sooo cheap Any group actions that is planning to put pressure for Ford? Thank you

Celebrating 120 years by laying off MORE people, woo!

75% of D-Ford NA was laid off today. D-Ford was Ford’s Human Centered Design Org. They were moved under Corporate Design last year, and if you know Corporate Design, you know they protect their own and want headcount. The writing was on the wall in... — read more 

Does anyone know if Michigan’s WARN Act is applicable to this week’s layoffs? If laying off 500 or more workers they are supposed to let you know 6 months in advance. Perhaps that’s one of the rights they are so anxious to get you to waive by making... — read more 

Our team is hiring - if you know coding

I was let go Aug 2022. Today the manager that read me the script from HMI was let go. 12 people from my old group were let go. Designers from studio. HMI is dead.

I am sorry to see layoffs at ford. Did you Ford had a voluntary separation late last year(Aug-Nov 2022)?

Was it the all clear?

Here’s an old example of how the upper management views the company’s workers: https://jalopnik.com/lets-remember-that-time-uaw-president-water-p-reuther-1843358899 Also a reminder of how far we have all come, thanks to unions

Cut judging from the percentage of emails that are no longer valid

I know of a couple and I thought pro was in the clear. Appears not.
