Topics regarding layoffs at Ford

They should have offered VOBs

I know several people who are disappointed they were not impacted by layoffs. Offering voluntary buyouts would have been a great way to fulfill their wish and save jobs for some of the people who are gone but wanted to stay. I don't understand why it... — read more 

I'm still not able to relax

I know there won't be any more cuts for now but I am still unable to relax. I hoped I'd finally get a proper night's sleep but I was very much wrong about that. I guess the stress of not just the past three days but the past month or so will not be... — read more 

We're done for this round

This particular round is done except for people who were on vacation/ ooo. Then they will probably see how many leave through attrition for the remainder of the year. Then the next round early-to-mid next year to get the remainder. With the... — read more 

Ford Runner

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe... Attack quality issues on fire that were bright as magnesium on the Expedition ... I watched A Pillars glitter in the dark near the Final Inspection line. All those moments will be lost in my career... — read more 

Not everything is so black

I know several people who are not at all unhappy about being laid off. Moreover, they even hoped for it and longed for the package -- How many more like that are among those affected?

How Is Everyone Holding Up?

Just touching base with all you strangers who are in the same boat as I am. How are you holding up? Wanna tell your story? I was let go on Monday. I didn't see it coming. I was on the most profitable ICE program beginning six months ago and before... — read more 

Ford is in bad shape, looking for welfare in Spain.

BARCELONA, Aug 24 (Reuters) - Ford said on Wednesday it is delaying its production investments in Spain, citing a "revised outlook for Europe" but said it remained committed to its plant in Valencia, where it announced plans in June to produce... — read more

Thursday and Friday

There shouldn't be any cuts in the next two days? It was said that everything will be done Monday through Wednesday, so the next two days should be OK, right?

Transition

The auto market is generally shifting to EV over ICE. I just wonder how many years it will take Ford to complete the transition and become very EV-centric?

Doug and his minions are leading model e to a doom

How can we trust a guy who barely knows anything about tech to be our leader? Not to mention his leadership team is basically his pals and bois from tesla and apple. Get out when you can, because he and his minions are leading model e to a doom.

Not being able return to Ford

What's the point of this? This has never been a part of layoffs before, as far as I can tell. I know a few folks who were laid off years ago but later returned in different roles. What's changed that suddenly they have to put a stipulation that... — read more 

JF’s message is loud and clear….

More Layoffs moving forward. This is not a one time thing is what he said. Take those words & run people before the axe falls on you & destroys your motivation.

Not the time for product promotion spin.

I found the video addressing the current actions to be abhorrent. It's been an incredibly hard week for all of us. Now isn't the time to put all this nonsense spin on what ford is doing in a video addressing employees who have survived a week of... — read more 

Saw the writing on the wall

I survived 7 total cuts at Ford before SIRP. I had a bad feeling I wouldn't survive this one. I was right. Thank God I saw the writing on the wall and started looking a few months ago.

Cuts in 2019-2022, and more coming!

There have been cuts each year from 2019 through 2022. Ford is not done! $3B more in cuts by end of 2023, remember?! Get out, get out. They are cutting their knowledge, talent and loyalty in favor of quiet quitters and those with NO loyalty to... — read more 

Constant uncertainty

The way layoffs are managed here is terrible. They literally did not give the people who got laid off time to say goodbye to their colleagues. I loved working here, but in any case, even if I survive, I will give myself a deadline to leave here as... — read more 

Nobody is handling this well

Our team was hit on Monday. We lost a couple of great people and we can definitely feel their absence. All of us feel awful for them. I think now I know what they mean when they talk about survivor's guilt concerning layoffs. It's going to take some... — read more 

Make sure every LinkedIn offer you receive is legit

A lot of people will be applying for new jobs and there are a lot of as-----s out there who'll try to take advantage of them. Please be careful. In case a job offer sounds too good to be true, it most likely is. I know most of you wouldn't fall for... — read more 

How close are we to the 3,000?

Is there any way to determine how many were laid off so far? It's sad how even now that layoffs have started there's still so little transparency from the management. No, one email in a situation like this that only gives the general info is not... — read more 

I'm reading about some groups receiving an all clear

We didn't. Does that mean there is a chance we'll be hit again even though we already lost a bunch of people in the last two days? I'm hoping this is just a case of some managers being more compassionate than others and not an indicator that tomorrow... — read more 

Bought a Ford today. Thought I would share a story.

Life has a way of offering opportunities when you least expect it. In fact it's kind of how we've done extremely well in life, by jumping on opportunities when they present themselves - and often never finding them when we seek them out. As a... — read more 

Will Ford be around in 2030?

Will Ford be around in 2030? And how big or small of a company? Will they do commercial vehicles only? or they will make cars too? Why the quality of Ford vehicles is so bad? Why so so many recalls? Is it management, staff quality or process ? ... — read more
