Let's petition to Biden to evoke Ford's 9.2 EV loan
They got a loan for EV development last week and fire Model e staffs right this week !?? Any creditor would require a serious explanation.
Not even going to bother working till all the emails are out
Can't think and function properly with all this uncertainty. I'm not working till we get an all-clear.

Packing his s$@_ is my guess.....
Layoffs are today and tomorrow
For those that will be let go, unfortunately your last day will be today. These meetings were to save face from last years layoff disaster. If your manager or any higher up asks you about what you are working on, act clueless. They want you to fork... — read more
I feel for all of you
I went out on August 22. I had 38 years so I was able to retire, but the feeling was the same. Betrayal, grief, fear. I survived 8 headcount reductions in my career but knew this one would be different. After the cut, I was very active with Right... — read more

Ford is not worth your life!
My contract was terminated back in April after 18 years there. I found a great job making more money with a smaller company and the atmosphere at ford looking back is absolutely toxic and not worth the stress... If you get cut, consider it a... — read more

pop up Town Hall meeting from Chuck Gray
Chuck Gray just sent out a pop up VHE town hall meeting a few minutes ago. The meeting is from 1:50 to 2:15. Looks that he will talk about the layoff things. He sent out the meeting notice so rash. He forgot to tell the time the meeting will... — read more

Never have loyalty to a company. As they are never loyal to you
Keep this mantra in the back of your mind in the coming weeks. If an opportunity presents itself do not be hesitant to seize it. Make sure that you are always looking out for yourself as the companies are not.
Explorer Sudden Stop Software Investigation
Troubles in Ford paradise. Really smart to thin the ranks of our salary team. NOT! A prior recall by Ford Motor is coming into question by U.S. safety regulators. The concern is the fix for the recall may not be adequate. The recalls issued in... — read more
Quiet tap on the shoulder
A LL5 told me their job / department is moving to India and THEY need to find new jobs or their out. I do not know if this is the beginning of the 2023 terminations or a continuation of the slow destruction of the US salary work force. Anyone else... — read more
Employee Communications
I find this mildly funny but of all days to get the EC survey to as how I am feeling. It's like a sadistic joke. Too bad I can't give them large negative numbers.
Anybody able to access their 06/30 paystub online?
Not sure if it's still too early via the pay cycle but mine does not show up. Anybody else?
Nothing Burger
I am here at work in person and nothing. It's quiet. Managers calendars have nothing on them this entire week. Everyone here in the building obviously are RTO and we are good. False alarm as per usual. Our leadership will let us know if and... — read more
Weird stuff in my computer... Am I going to be fired or just paranoia?
I was not able to sleep well last night, so I started work today early. After listening to music for 1 hour in the work PC until it was 6:00 am, I connected the VPN, and checked the email, chat, calendar, etc. All good, no last minute... — read more
Some things can't be outsourced
If these multinational companies COULD have offshored their engineering, they would have done it long long ago. I remember back in the 90s that Ford’s Electronics Division tried to move some of its design activity to Chihuahua. They sent loads of... — read more
