They’ll cut you without a second thought if it helps the quarterly report. The younger folks get it, they make sure they leave before the axe falls. Can’t say I blame them. I wish I’d learned that sooner.

@19xa Digging around in old posts? Want to talk about what's on your mind?
@jm Loyalty no. Brown- nosing. ABSOLUTELY does.
That why yall did all this weird sh-t? For a car i got in 2018?
In fact loyalty never gets awarded. Last round of promotions were given to all the people driving foreign personal cars to work. According to me, product loyalty is a mindset which also reflects in pride and quality of work.
They confiscated my pension and made sure it was not vested after 3 years. They keep doing it to new hires to save a buck. A new trend now .
OP
Life is hard, but it's a lot harder when you're stupid. If you think loyalty every got you anywhere in a company since the early 80's you're going to have a difficult time.
Loyalty?
Give me a break on the loyalty!! It is based on money and when the money/benefits are removed the loyalty disapprears. Simple logic.
If you wanted a pension you should have been there before 2004!!!!!!!
OP - "Loyalty’s dead..."
In a word - No $h!t...where have you been? You have been working a job at any time in the last 4 decades right? Can't see this being news to anyone.
The only ones to blame is executives and management.
The real issue is that we still have a mixed salaried workforce, those with and without a pension. Ford will be in a world of hurt once they achieve their goal of a zero pension salaried workforce. They will see a tidal shift where the only way to keep workers is to spend more and more on salary and benefits, otherwise talent will just leave and the people that will stay will be of a greater decreasing talent because the dollar will be king for those with options. Like it or not, many previously stayed solely because of the pension.
Folks...it is just a pay check...nothing more! Don't expect anything else.
There was never loyalty (from the company to the workers), and while many workers bleed "blue", I always considered that was a mistake from their part. A job is just another business transaction. We provide our experience/work, and we get paid. The company uses our work to make a profit. Everyone is happy! Until they are not.
A well led company will be able to hire more workers, attracting talenmt with more money, and still have better profits. The clown leadership at Ford is just losing ground on all accounts: market share, sales, profits, vehicle production. So Ford is just having an slow death, like Sears.
Younger workers, run! While the old farts are holding the company, hoping that we can get something out of it before it crashes and burns.
It's been this way for decades. Only poor people stay loyal to companies they dont run themselves. Better to leave before the axe falls. But if you have savings then you can take it easy. Id love to get the call or meeting that I'm being cut and have a great attitude about it. The HR person's job would be so easy when it's my turn.
There is no loyalty when working for any company, since there is no pension. That's a fact Jack.
