Those days are long-gone, no matter how hard you work and the skills you acquire/retain. You will make too much money and they will get rid of you for cheaper works. Sickening, but this is our world now.

Does anyone know if others are going to an attorney for age discrimination? What attorney are you/they using?

We lost six people in the last round, and weeks later I am still having trouble adjusting to coming to the office and not finding them there. I'm not sure what's upsetting me the most - how quiet the office is now or how everybody who is still here... — read more

I am being told that my $426 that was taken out every month for 5 months to purchase extra vacation, is not refundable, even though I never used it. Today I get a bill for $426 for July to continue it, why would they be sending me a bill? Are they... — read more

Geez...why does it take so long to register a separation in the HR and various systems? My last day was 5/31 and NESC still can't see anywhere in the system that I've separated from the company. So this holds up various financial decisions on 401k... — read more 

Can Ford still be considered a company that offers job security? Or has that time long passed?

She had been there 27 years. Can anyone tell me what happens to her pension since she didn't make it to 30 years? Thanks, in advance.

Ford spent millions of dollars per year for agency and purchase service employees and no one really cares to look into the savings that can be obtained. Management should be looking into the cost savings for the company, simply by being proactive and... — read more

People connected to HR have been fired and walked out. Anyone here have any indication if HR is safe for the next round of layoffs or potentially at significant risk. . Morale is the worst I can remember. .
