Outlook seems to have an error. is that a sign?
Will Tuesday be just as bad?
I'm up at 3 a.m. stressing over this so I'm not even sure if I should say "will today or "will tomorrow" be just as bad. Usually, if the layoffs last more than one day, the brunt of it happens on the first day and it's mostly getting to the people... — read more
Any Rumors on Sustainability?
Is BH or MW out? Any rumors or cuts there?
Can’t sleep
I keep reading the messages here I don’t know what I expect to find because no one knows anything for sure. Well, I shouldn’t assume that. There probably ARE people reading this who know exactly what’s going to unfold in the next couple of days, but... — read more
ANTS
Ever see the movie Ants? They revolt against the Grasshoppers and refuse to work and prepare them for winter...
Any updates on Aaron Rajda’s team(s)?
Please share
From the news: “Ford has declined to comment on the number of positions being cut“
WHY??? If the number is low, then I can mentally ease up and go about my daily work. If the number is high, then I am mentally prepared, and take it like anything else in life. Why treat us like children and keep information away from us? This is... — read more
Is this really true
I have many LL6 friends who said they weren’t aware of any layoffs. Media is making rumors.
Inefficiency
When Farley complains that engineering is inefficient compared to other OEMs but then does 3 mass layoffs within a year…. Yeah… as if being inefficient is our fault.
Are new FCGs safe?
I just started and this is my third week. I'm in the PD.
Sign your rights away?
Does the waiver signed in exchange for severance really prevent someone from suing Ford?
Deja vu!
You should’ve been preparing since last year’s major layoffs! I mean I see lot of posts of anxiety and stress and what not! I seen these same exact posts before! Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me. You survive this round and... — read more
Has anyone received notice yet?
I see the 15 minute meetings on managers calendar, but do not see anyone in our department with matching notice.
8,000 involuntary firings is the number for USA
It’s terrible, awful, pathetic, ruthless how JF and BFJr treat their hardworking salary NA employees. That number comes from Jim Farley the source 25%.
Severence Expectations
Can someone laid off last time comment on the severence they recieved? Did everyone receive 30 days?
Vacation
I am on vacation for the next two weeks. What happens if I don’t turn my laptop on?
WARN act notices
There are no WARN act notices from Ford: https://milmi.org/WARN/ Doesn't this imply that there will be fewer than 500 layoffs?
Losing your Health is much worse than Losing your Ford Job
Layoffs at Ford are going to continue until this company goes under. So don't lose your health worrying about this stupid job. Don't be at their mercy or they will control your life. Take care of yourself and your family. All the best.

Last week lots of coworkers posted on LinkedIn celebrating the company's 120 year history. Why?!?
Who in their right mind would be proud to work for this company? All this company does is pander to the political wind of the day, sc--w their customers, dealers, vendors, and employees, and act like they are high and mighty because they have been... — read more
Focus on looking for a new job
It's easy to say that everyone should focus on looking for new offers rather than thinking about whether and when you will lose your job here, however, stress and anxiety are high, so it's not so easy to do in practice. How do you handle this tense... — read more
Was Ford Next and FLV separated?
Let us pray, they are costing us $3 BILLION this year.
Let's petition to Biden to evoke Ford's 9.2 EV loan
They got a loan for EV development last week and fire Model e staffs right this week !?? Any creditor would require a serious explanation.
Not even going to bother working till all the emails are out
Can't think and function properly with all this uncertainty. I'm not working till we get an all-clear.
Reporter looking to talk to Ford employees
If you're a Ford salaried employee with knowledge of the layoffs announced today, please feel free to contact The Detroit News at jgrzelewski@detroitnews.com. Your name would not be used without your permission.
Where is the $9.2 billion government loan going?
Supposed to go to EV, but now they're having layoffs in the E divisions?
So now that it is officially official that Model e will have separations, where is Model e is safe guy?
Packing his s$@_ is my guess.....
Layoffs are today and tomorrow
For those that will be let go, unfortunately your last day will be today. These meetings were to save face from last years layoff disaster. If your manager or any higher up asks you about what you are working on, act clueless. They want you to fork... — read more
I feel for all of you
I went out on August 22. I had 38 years so I was able to retire, but the feeling was the same. Betrayal, grief, fear. I survived 8 headcount reductions in my career but knew this one would be different. After the cut, I was very active with Right... — read more
