I've been hearing rumors about 5 days in the office starting in January from people in different parts of Ford. Any insights on this?

Ford needs a no moomoo rule, although some employees may find it difficult to fit into work appropriate attire, so my feelings are mixed on the subject. How about mandatory shoes in the bathroom??
the ford dress code has been a mess for 25yrs that I worked there. business casual was women looking like men in dockers and polos. these days, the younger folks look like they rolled out of bed or strolled in from a night club. some smell like a college dorm. Let's sell that to consumers showing our best professionalism
If they go to 5 day RTO, they should also reinstate the dress code. Flip flops, camisole tops, and gym shorts are not appropriate attire. Ford has become a third world employer.
Rumors that is all they are. They would not need that salary timekeeping system if that was the case.
@kq you sound like some ll4 who feels entitled to a desk so they can tell everyone below them to work harder
I hope they go back to five days a week with hotel desks for anyone under an LL5.
@hx wtf is free address initiative??? Is that some bs rebrand of hotel desking so the company doesn't seem so disrespectful as to not give engineers an actual desk to do their work? It ain't working
As I understand, the free-address initiative has been very successful combined with 4 day RTO. I'm not surprised returning to a 5 day schedule is the next step to improving employee performance at large.
Yeah thats going so well for stellantis... surely $4 stock is who we need to exemplify
There is absolutely no excuse to not have assigned desks anymore if they go to 5 days
@OP Heard the same for a few weeks now. Shocked it took this long to get posted here.
I’ve heard similar things and that they’re going to be more strict on the badge swipe monitoring
Great news! Can’t wait to see everyone back to normal.
Unlikely. No rumors of this in my department and yet and year ago prior to RTO4 there were rumors everywhere.
That would be my last straw. I would go anywhere else for a better work environment
💯.
How anyone ever made it having to go into the office 5 days a week, pre vid, is astounding. 😉
Long overdue
