I was so close, I am 55 and have nine years with Ford. Funnily enough, I used to work for GM as well once upon a time. While General Motors offered a buyout and now faces layoffs to trim its white-collar ranks, Ford quietly presented salaried... — read more 

Count on it, this will get worse and worse for years to come.

Personally, I expect 2019 to be an awful year when the company starts to reveal its plans for ‘restructuring’ and then start to implement those plans by way forced and voluntary redundancies. We have openly been told by the company that it needs to... — read more

The announcement was not clear and poorly timed. They should have waited until they were ready. Now we have to worry daily and walk on egg shells until we know if we as individuals are being put out on the streets. HOLIDAYS are coming and I'm sure... — read more 

A promised lifetime employee purchase plan benefit evaporated when I accepted the lump-sum pension payout offer, which Ford's A-Plan system interpreted as my having died.

Stop with lies

We are anxious too - me and my SO work together for Ford, we fear what may happen if the cut is as deep as they predict. With three kids at home, a sick parent and all eggs in one basket (Ford) we are not in the best position. I hope all turns out... — read more 

Nobody is getting any answers from Hackett until "the time is appropriate". Much like his CEO history with Steelcase. If you read his past and how he made Steelcase a profitable company you would have learned he is a Consolidator. He cut 12,000 jobs... — read more

Should Flat Rock Assembly be worried with Ford eliminating cars? Has anyone heard talk about moving the Mustang to another facility that builds SUV's?

I'm a PD engineer and I received some information that Hackett wants to reduce PD headcount by 20% in 2019.

Ford will most likely close its Bordeaux plant. To be honest, it's good to see Ford closing a plant in Europe instead of another one here. I'm sorry for those who will lose their jobs, but Ford is an American company and it should focus on saving... — read more
