"4 people in our area just got "tapped on the shoulder".
If they aren't living paycheck to paycheck then congrats to them. They get a clean slate with a new employer or something new.
@mr only id--ts feel safe
approved fake news again
There were actions taken in Mexico last week. Under DF but also some opportune cuts for performance without PEP.
@nb Which engineering department or activity?
@nc what is "your area"?
4 people in our area just got "tapped on the shoulder".
It's started! I know of a layoff in engineering. Praying for all that will be impacted.
@n9 at what level? LL5+?
A meeting for managers was planned but it was cancelled at the last minute
Well it's almost 9am and no emails. Another hocus layoffs post as expected.
I guess we'll find out soon how bullsh-t this post is!
@jx reading comprehension an issue for you?
@je bruh said the issue isn’t accountability it’s culture the. Proceeded to talk about the issue being accountability
We are in a simulation for sure
I don’t believe this is truly an accountability issue. If anything, “accountability” has become a buzzword in recent years—and in many ways, we’ve made real progress in how we define and track our objectives.
The real issue is culture.
Accountability has been pushed down the ladder, while those at the top distance themselves from it. This isn’t the Ford many of us remember—a place where teams worked together and people felt like they belonged.
The Ford I knew was a place where you could pick up the phone and resolve an issue directly. Today, we rely on systems to provide answers. That’s not culture—that’s machinery.
The culture that once brought people together and found a way when things got tough—that spirit feels like it’s disappeared. And honestly, I don’t count on it coming back.
The business world isn’t black and white—and the real value we used to provide was in understanding everything that lived in the gray.
Competitive advantage doesn’t come from AI or rigid processes alone. It comes from truly understanding the business landscape and building a culture rooted in problem-solving, collaboration, and human connection—a sense of home that inspires loyalty.
@hg You write beautifully, but respectfully I don’t think the issue is accountability, it’s the execution. Management has become so dedicated to accountability, they’ve forgotten the people factor, endlessly looping because the process is wrong, not the people. Ford has become so clinical in the last five years that they’ve forgotten what made ford great in the first place. People dedicated to fixing problems collaboratively, enabled by a sense of collective openness and communication. Those that have survived and thrived are no longer those same people, they’re the political players and corporate process bureacrats, that escape accountability without heart or desire to fix the root of the issue.
This spirit and culture we once had is what has always pulled us through tough times, I hope it’s not so far gone at this point that we have doomed ourselves to a business case analysis in a textbook in the near future.
I for one am trying to focus on the better years that are now long gone, not what this place has ki-led inside of me.
People at their core are generally good here, and we’re all just trying to get through these times together whether people are open to it or not.
@hg I for one am trying to remember the better days where people were friendly, issues were solved through collaboration, a bit of personality and openness with everyone created a sense of home and loyalty.
Ford always had a way in finding a way out of a jam, not everything was perfect, but back then people weren’t so corporate it felt like you were sitting in a clinic run by legal bureaucrats who moonlight as politicians. I worry the next downturn the company won’t be so lucky to have that loyalty and dedication to persevere.
I’m trying to take stock of all that I’ve done for the company, and what they’ve given me in return that’s positive, as opposed what they’ve destroyed in me. This keeps me going just until long enough they decide they’ve had enough.
The fact that so many of us are still here talking about it speaks to our rebellious spirit.
These posts are how we keep the truth alive. They reveal a broken system—where layoffs were unjust and toxic managers deflected blame, hoping once again to escape accountability.
We know Ford hasn’t fixed anything and is bound to fail again under the same leadership that caused the FNV4 collapse.
Meanwhile, the same jokers are still drinking from coolers at their private desks.
It doesn’t work like that. We have the right to speak up and demand real accountability.
We have nothing to lose anyway. We are no longer at Ford.
Staff reductions are hard.
It won’t be Monday.
They like Tuesdays.
No cascade from leadership on such a resource action. This is a false rumor.
Will this eliminate the management toxicity among s FNV4 ranks ? Restructuring means addressing the real root causes of failure. Not asking the ones who caused it.
@e2 Legal - looking for issues.
Sales will continue to drop ... Ford will be the F-150 Company and a few SUVs... Heavy Truck. Escape is boring, no more small cars. And we won't need all you salaried useless whiners who su-k the profits right off the top!
@cy+1jwhy99kj it's me. The "It's coming...." Guy.
This is false. There is a big one coming. But it'll will be later in the summer. As manufacturing returns due to tariffs, salaried jobs are going to LCCs. You cannot tariff salaried labor....
@d3 secret meetings with who?
Zero backfills are the indicator.
Always coming but there have been secret meetings for a month. D-mb HR person didn’t mark them private at first.
What does the 'its coming' guy have to say about this??
Ford has been sending all work to Brazil, Mexico, India along with hiring more H1B's.
If there's layoff it's only for the US.
A bunch of BS !!!
I have heard layoffs are coming next week to all regions
If you claim there will be layoffs every single day, then eventually you will be right.
Mexico and India layoffs? this proves this is a troll post in the extreme.
Insider's info or just trolling from previous frustrations?
Even a stopped clock is right twice per day.
