The "voluntary" severance
Is there any information on how much the severance package will be for salaried employees who were rated as underperforming?
What a farce. Ford said well under 100 employees go through a PEP each year.
Much talk about nothing? If truly under 100. Unless its just another scam. Which it is. Why not open it up to everyone who wants to go, which would be fair. No. Only poor performers may apply. Farce. Stinks.
If only Elon Musk needed factories enough to buy Ford
I’d pay big money to watch him carry a sink into Ford WHQ !
