I was let go from MI too. Had two Brazilian guy in team, did sh-t over two years. Inflated jira with all green, but real work was doo doo. Weeks went by and all they did in every meeting is complains and complains (x doesn't respond to them, don't know how to do y, need to have meeting with z team, and always set that meeting next week). Every little problem they faced just took weeks. I never got to understand, if you need an info or need brainstorm with somebody for 20 minutes, how come every meeting always needed to be set "end of this week" or "next week". Execution was painfully slow.

And when the deadline started creeping in, dependencies started pointing fingers, everything became red within a week. Their actual work was probably 3 months job if I they'd give it to me.

Last I heared, they got transferred to other orgs. I was the lucky one that Mckinsey's algo choose to axe.
Ford gets what it deserves.

Ford must have found cheaper labor than Mexico

They couldn't do any work that helped to get FNV4 software to implementation. I was laid off in Michigan, but I could easily replace 4-5 Brazilian and Mexicans, and FNV4 feature engineers with the complete implementation without their CAMEO diagrams and FuSa analysis. 2 years of their work was like 1 month of my work and nobody appreciated anything anyway..,

If we are laying off the cheap help, we are in bigger trouble than I thought.
