Thread regarding Ford layoffs

Layoffs looming?

Anyone else concerned that a % point drop in market share could result in layoffs?
From the Detroit Snooze:

Ford’s vehicle sales are expected to drop 8.8% through the first three quarters of the year, according to a forecast released Thursday from Cox Automotive. That would knock Ford’s market share down nearly a full percentage point, to 12.5%.

GM’s U.S. vehicle sales pace also is trailing the broader industry, expected to decline 6.2% year-to-date through Sept. 30, Cox projects. The firm estimates GM will finish the quarter with a 16.7% market share, down from 17.4% a year earlier.

@ae cross functional interoffice forced collaboration is dangerous, can even cost you your career. all it takes is some bitter lonely people with an axe to grind.

If you work for any of these places and its at least not on your mind, you're about as dense as they come and living life on auto pilot. Smart money would be to get the he-l out of automotive. They have no moat against China. US automotive employment isn't really a situation you'd want your career to be dependent on. Think any different? You are either in higher leadership (therefore disconnected from the real world), or delusional and lost the ability to learn new things and diversify (therefore you think you are stuck). Its not really that hard. Look at the way things are going. When tariffs and government intervention are the only things saving you from getting you a$$ handed to you by competition, its not sustainable.

Damn, the wonders of cross-functional communication, spontaneous corridor collaboration, and immersion in company culture lead to such poor results...perhaps this strategy wasn't correct after all.

Might be a good time to start looking if you made someone’s sh-t list.

Even if Ford was not doing so bad, they still hate U.S. workers.
