For the year. Was this to rub my face in it or were they trying to be nice? Confused. Learned a long time ago to trust no one at Ford. All reviews before had been great and previous merit raises much better. Just figured if you get placed on pip... — read more
Biting my tongue again
You used to be able to stand up to your boss at Ford and know it wouldn't cost you your job. Not anymore. I drafted a long reply to my boss on Friday. Pointed out why his decision was flawed. Sat there for ten minutes. Then deleted it. These days... — read more
It's simple
Offer 1yr severance and heath care. 99% of pension eligible employees will take. Problem solved....
Merit increase 4% this year
Have you all got your notifications?
PR Question
Been with the company for 13 years. All previous reviews were good and even got top achiever before. Full background is that my child was born in September (dad here) and so I took the bulk of my leave at the beginning of this CY (after my wife... — read more
How are layoff notices issued at Ford? Do they email it to you?
If they email it, who does it come from and how do they even know you read it?
Bankruptcy inevitable
It’s safe to say Ford is going to go bankrupt within 3 years. Our cars are not selling without huge discounts. See for yourself..2025 f150s still available for sale. During the good times like 8 yrs ago when we made some money we should have paid off... — read more
Anybody else think Ford has a general culture of "Analysis Paralysis" ?
I'm a natural doer having business results in mind and feel like often times employees at all levels get stuck in overanalyzing minute details that ultimately don't matter toward making a decision. I don't usually have the authority to drop the... — read more
Salary buyouts are on the way
I have now heard this rumor enough to feel confident to repeat it. Salary buy outs are on the way. 55+ and 30+ and you are a candidate. Finance Barbie wants people off the books. Her glasses are too dark but I like her. She is fairly authentic. But... — read more
Layoffs are happening
And at least one of them in my org deserved every bit of it for being a total slacker for years. They brought it on themselves. Anyone else here have justified layoffs (more like firings) in their org this week?
Retiree Question
Hey anyone who retired last year and eligible for 2025 bonus...did you get paid today and if yes, was it mailed or direct deposit?
Fake layoff talks
Don’t panic, usual perf reviews are on, there is no layoff, people are just paranoid and want to create drama
Current ranking process
For old timers forced ranking used to be done in November and then the paperwork/PR would follow in either December or January. Just curious when are the ratings finalized now? We got our ratings this week, but the question is when were they... — read more
Had my year end review today. but was placed on PIP.
I will have 30 years in May and am over 55. Feel like Monday is going to be the firing day if not tomorrow. Always had great reviews till now.
I was issued a Performance Improvement Plan two weeks ago
The plan lasts for one more month. Can anyone tell me if I can seek other internal jobs here at Ford while my performance improvement plan is in effect? I really want to get out of the group I work in.
Layoffs this week and next week
The layoffs are finally happening. They are in line with the perf reviews. For those of you about to be laid off, we salute you!!!
I received a layoff notice on Monday
I want to know if I will be pushed out the door before my last day with pay for 60 days. My official last day stated on my layoff notice is 60 days from Monday. I also want to know if there is any chance they will take back layoff notice and keep me... — read more
How are raise and bonus calculated?
Does anyone know how the raise and bonus are calculated every year? Who decide the amount? LL6? LL5 or HR?
Feel like a failure getting let go
I wish I was told before hand that things were this bad for me , instead of just things seemingly to be okay. Now I have no job/ no income and the job market is not great.
Most performance reviews are this week in every dept.
so be ready for the big layoff starting Monday 9-16-26.
Let go
Today was my last day in Enterprise Technology. I can't say I'm surprised, this position wasn't really right for me and I could see my own performance for what it was. Nothing unfair. I'm just curious if there's a trend going on in other parts of the... — read more
F-150 Guy is Nervous
I saw the F-150 Guy very nervous this morning. So the F-150 Guy said that after the performance reviews are done, the gigantic LYOFz will occur. Good luck.

Voice+ Survey, then lay offs? Has anyone heard anything?
Last year, there was a big push in EVDD to get our Voice+ surveys done early. They were aiming for 100% participation, almost making it feel like a fun competition between orgs. We all want our team to shine with the highest participation so many... — read more

Does the severance months start at the end of the month?
for example if you are given 2 months, would the current month be normal payroll and then the next 2 months would be the payment?
Is your bonus amount viewed under SSIP contribution Bonus?
Hi there, I was following the email that said you can make changes to your bonus contribution as to where it will land cash or 401k and when I went to the site I could see a $$$ amount that I could select for cash or 401k, does that mean that is my... — read more

What more than three decades taught me
I put in thirty six years and walked away at sixty five. That was enough for any person. Since leaving I've stayed as far from corporate anything as I can manage. Meetings, performance reviews, office politics. Don't miss any of it. I'll say this... — read more

Will I get fired if I get inconsistent for year end?
