Topics regarding layoffs at Ford

Applying but not hearing back

Has anyone part of the most recent lay off been able to find another job yet? I keep applying but don’t hear back. It’s discouraging seeing friends at other companies go through lay offs as well. It makes me think getting another job will be... — read more 

Anxious all the time

Is anyone else sad and anxious all the time lately? It’s all stemmed from this place. The micro management, upper management instilling fear, evening meetings, weekend meetings, heavy workload. You can’t make a simple mistake without getting thrown... — read more 

Is this the culture here?

I’ve been here for a while now and I still pretty much operate in a silo. I haven’t learned anything from anyone and I just use the internet to figure stuff out. It would be nice to actually collaborate and learn from other people but everyone is... — read more 

Did you see what happened to Yellow?

101 year-old company that ended up deep in debt. And a fight with the union did them in. My guess? Ford is next. That debt in the 1st half numbers was eye-popping. And now a huge fight with the UAW is underway! If Ford sees a downturn in sales it... — read more

Ford equipment return

Those who were laid off by Ford, how did the return of your Ford issued equipment work? Did they ask you to return just the laptop and the phone or also the chair, the monitor and docking stations?

Didn't want to start applying again

... but it seems like based on this site, that not starting interview processes outside will look really d-mb in September (potentially I guess)

Is September 26th the next axe date?

If it is, I really need to get to interviewing. I have a newborn on the way and don't want to be unable to provide for my family because I get thrown under the bus in 2 months. I have been so stressed every quarter, worrying if I am next

LOL - Building the Middle Class

Saw this quote from Farley in an article. What a cheeseball, talking about the UAW negotiations; building a stronger America and middle class. Saying this after destroying 3000+ engineering positions in Dearborn, priceless. "To wrap up, there is... — read more 

Did any Nov 2022 retirees recently get this?

November 2022 retiree here. Took the lump sum. Just a few days ago I got a latter from Ford about pension benefits, stating the amount of monthly benefit should I take it, or the amount of lump sum should I take it. The lump sum stated was 23% less... — read more

Intern day

Ford & JF have been posting about intern day. Maybe interns are the few who are happy to be working here. Hopefully none of us disgruntled employees give them the inside scoop on how Ford operates.

No one seems excited or engaged

Most people in meetings seem like they are half asleep. You try to reach out to someone to get to know them/ network and just get declined meetings. I joined wide eyed and excited but seems like my career will come to a complete dead end the longer... — read more

Jim Farley 10$ line

Will Jim Farley be let go if the stock is below 10$ or 11$? What will it take for him to spend more time with his family?

No one seems to want to stay long term.

Every conversation I have had with anyone doesn't seem to extend 1 to 2 years at most. Looks like people are just sticking around to milk as many paychecks as they can, studying / preparing, and when the market is better , they will bolt.

Checked out and just biding my time

Tired of pretending that I can have a career here. I’ve tried to network and talk to people but all that I see is people who are closed off, don’t want to share anything and there really isn’t any sense of belonging. All I’ve gotten from working... — read more
