Thread regarding Ford layoffs

Why Layoff 350?

I don't get it. Ford decided to layoff 350 people in may. We can estimate this to be a savings of $42,000,000. Ford's net profit for 2024 was $5.9 billion. What was the point of the layoff? It seems like a drop in the bucket.

Now I'm still looking for a job in this terrible market. A single dad trying to take care of his kid, all while my money running is out. -- It's amazing, I once was celebrated by the company at the highest levels for my contributions (seriously). Now i'm tossed out into the street.

The goofs run the place. The only way to get it straight is to let LL4 and upper go. It will fix all sufferings.

Feel sorry for those who stayed back, the axe is still hanging right over your head, and some egoistic person like MJ is the one who will use it again and again

Said it right F gives no F about employees.

That 350 call was done by some egoistic executives to cover their own a-s, it was CVS head and new leader they hired who works from California ( India ) all very crooked people

Meanwhile, we are paying gobs of consultants millions to create more chaos and confusion. Ford is cooked.

That layoff in May was the first warning, the second was RTO4 and the third one was forced ranking. Now we wait for the movie climax - Will they let go of old timers, those who fail to meet 4 days/week or ‘below expectations’. I hope you get the gist of how F gives no Fs about employees.

@b7 When I was fresh out of school a few years ago I made a comment like this and my dad smacked me.

Too bad you aren’t skilled and can get another job. Better yet, be your own boss and do something instead of relying on others.
