FORD Pension ( Lumpsum Update).

Does anyone know the percent impact to the lumpsum with the 150 basis point interest rate cut in 2020? Updates should have been in the system by now.

1,400 or 5%????

I just heard a news bit on WWJ radio that said Ford is eliminating 5% of its salary workforce, or 1,400 people. 5% would be a lot more than 1,400 people, and I am pretty sure I heard what she said correctly. Wondering where the 5% came from.

EMM

Well I guess EMM will be excluded from VIP.

There WILL BE involuntary cuts next year.

Just like in 2018/2019 - first the voluntaries (this year), next make people sweat it out for nealry 6 months in 2021 before making final "decisions" on headcount and org charts. I recall someone in late 2018 or 2019 on this very board said SRD was... — read more
