About the quality of the office furniture and desks in the train station? We have cr-ppy desks and chairs in the office I work in now. Hopefully the Train station is a huge improvement.

On the goodbye call.

For the year. Was this to rub my face in it or were they trying to be nice? Confused. Learned a long time ago to trust no one at Ford. All reviews before had been great and previous merit raises much better. Just figured if you get placed on pip... — read more 

You used to be able to stand up to your boss at Ford and know it wouldn't cost you your job. Not anymore. I drafted a long reply to my boss on Friday. Pointed out why his decision was flawed. Sat there for ten minutes. Then deleted it. These days... — read more

It’s safe to say Ford is going to go bankrupt within 3 years. Our cars are not selling without huge discounts. See for yourself..2025 f150s still available for sale. During the good times like 8 yrs ago when we made some money we should have paid off... — read more 

I'm a natural doer having business results in mind and feel like often times employees at all levels get stuck in overanalyzing minute details that ultimately don't matter toward making a decision. I don't usually have the authority to drop the... — read more

And at least one of them in my org deserved every bit of it for being a total slacker for years. They brought it on themselves. Anyone else here have justified layoffs (more like firings) in their org this week?

Hey anyone who retired last year and eligible for 2025 bonus...did you get paid today and if yes, was it mailed or direct deposit?

Don’t panic, usual perf reviews are on, there is no layoff, people are just paranoid and want to create drama

For old timers forced ranking used to be done in November and then the paperwork/PR would follow in either December or January. Just curious when are the ratings finalized now? We got our ratings this week, but the question is when were they... — read more 

I will have 30 years in May and am over 55. Feel like Monday is going to be the firing day if not tomorrow. Always had great reviews till now.

The plan lasts for one more month. Can anyone tell me if I can seek other internal jobs here at Ford while my performance improvement plan is in effect? I really want to get out of the group I work in.

The layoffs are finally happening. They are in line with the perf reviews. For those of you about to be laid off, we salute you!!!

so be ready for the big layoff starting Monday 9-16-26.

Today was my last day in Enterprise Technology. I can't say I'm surprised, this position wasn't really right for me and I could see my own performance for what it was. Nothing unfair. I'm just curious if there's a trend going on in other parts of the... — read more
