One person goes on vacation and everything else comes to a stand still. Seems like most people are just sitting on their hands doing nothing and very few are actually productive with anything

Brilliant move to replace these two SUVs with EVs. The Lincoln version edge will be imported from CCP. JF and Billy are d-mber than I thought. Which one is D-mb and which one is D-mber? So more salary cuts coming to help make up for more huge EV... — read more 

Love how this is a norm. People just skip meetings or are fast asleep during them.

Not ever a good thing when your customers sue you. Another hit to the brand. Hits keep on coming with recalls, lawsuits, and bad software. Back in July 2022, a group of Ford Mustang Mach-E owners filed a lawsuit following a recall that was issued... — read more 

Do you see yourself building a longer term career at this company (assuming you don’t get picked in the layoff roulette)? There doesn’t seem to be much growth , people are demoralized and the pay is absolutely below average in the industry. Why... — read more 

Some people pretend to be happy at Ford and the rest admit they are unhappy. The work environment is very toxic. All these are signs of a failing company.

This is going to be expensive.

Things literally change day to day , the stuff I put in mid year is already outdated. Do I just su-k up to the right people?

Looks like the job market is imploding. Anyone having any luck? https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/labor-market-implodes-job-openings-crater-prior-data-unexpectedly-revised-sharply-lower

I want to take as many paychecks as I can and do the least amount of work before getting noticed. I don’t see a future here for me and don’t want to work my butt off for me to get affected in the next round

Small number but still another recall and punch to Ford’s gut. Ford Motor Company is recalling select 2023 Ford Explorer SUVs with the 2.3L EcoBoost due to an issue with the turbocharger oil supply line. The defect: in affected vehicles, the engine... — read more

A lot of innovations are going to be sold to you in the name of convenience. You will have to read the fine print to find out what you’re actually giving up.

I was laid off in June. Working for Ford suppliers my entire career, one of my goals in life was to work for Ford. I grew up in Dearborn. I sang songs about Henry Ford and how great he was in elementary school. I lasted 5 years and 7 months at... — read more

https://youtu.be/KpdCvw7tqOI?feature=shared And why is Ford keeping Farley?

Just curious if this fad has passed and what is next!

They need us to break the picket lines, run the parts depots etc. THEN they can resume their regularly scheduled programming.

Seems like next d day will be 09/25/2023?

Anyone knows what’s going on? Will there be a layoff round before the labor day?

I’ve literally never worked anywhere else where people are like so anxious if they will be laid off or not every two to three months. Morale is in the toilet and im not surprised at all. What incentive does anyone here have to work hard and see this... — read more 

Sue for ageism.

Does it mean you might be more immune from getting laid off? I don't understand how it would make sense to cut a team/ org that is already understaffed and needs more people

For example can you keep your 401k at Ford, HSA, etc...

According to the posts here something big is happening next week but there is nothing in the media. Reuters reported it 4 days before it happened ( for June 2023) but right now I see nothing

I don’t think so. Usually, it would have leaked to the press by now.

You never know what you’re going to get (but you will get something). No better way to alienate customers. We just don’t care about customers anymore. Several reported issues with the Ford F-150 have popped up during production of the current... — read more

So, I received my mid-year review. I was ranked below mid-point. What does that mean? Can I recover? My morale is already low.

Will they be hit just as hard as the lower levels?

Oh no, you mean the EV fairy isn't real?: https://jalopnik.com/dealers-are-turning-away-ev-inventory-report-1850771467 Good thing Ford's ramping up EV production.

What I mean is PF accumulated to date upon being released? Have only been with the company 2 years and wow with the churn. I am just curious.

Its really difficult to focus not knowing if we will be here in a week or not

ADAS lost 25% in June; will we lose that much again?
