Why do people still get pension when it was ended in 2004...almost 20 years ago. It is not fair that I do the same work as someone hired before 2004 and they get pension too. This needs to end, only 401k. Ford is going to go bankrupt if they do not... — read more

I was proud to be part of this company. But lately I am less and less proud. I am very disappointed at what this company is turning into. If the job market were just a little better, I think I wouldn't even care if I was laid off or not. I think that... — read more

The fact that another week gone by with no details from Bill and his crew says it all. You'd think a strategy would be to put something out there if it was less than 8000 to calm down the workforce if but a little at least.

The 2021 VSSP was offered in July 2021. The deadline to accept was September 2nd and the last day worked was October 31. If they do a voluntary in 2022: It can be offered in August, deadline to accept can be October 1st, and last day worked November... — read more

Do you think you will be able to find a new job before your severance runs out? The biggest reason for the concern of many is that it will take them a very long time to find a new job, considering the overall situation on the job market.

Constantly wondering if I'll still have a job in the next months is more than stressful. It would be easier for me to bear if I immediately knew that I would be laid off.

When will Farley be held accountable? By a court of law? If Ford laid him off, we could keep $20,000,000 worth of other people, and not be any worse off.

You will be told on Aug 17th or 19th regarding your status and Aug 31 will be last day. This is confirmed.

This site it serving up nothing burgers lately. I need a juicy tidbit to keep me going ;-)
