Allegedly, a number of Ford Product Development Directors were let go today. Any truth to this or more details ?

Hasn't happened yet. Maybe Doug goes first?
It's coming....
Good. One down, 99 more to cut.
Names? If we post names then the whole thread gets removed. You are on an anonymous site, take everything for what it is. If you are a Ford employee, you will find out soon enough.
Until you name names this is total BS.
@bw Are there any names that can be shared?
@d0 Do you think they're going to send out a press release saying they fired some PD directors? They're just going to fire them quietly and move on.
No, that’s not true. There’s no solid information or official word that Ford fired any Product Development Directors recently. The company is cutting costs and restructuring in some areas like job cuts in Europe and reducing bonuses for some middle managers but there are no credible reports about PD Directors getting let go.
The layoffs described here are beginning: https://open.substack.com/pub/thejobchicksinsideredge/p/ford-layoffs-are-imminent
All Ottawa PD LL4s gone and we report into Dearborn LL4s now
@bw how many? where in PD?
Be a good time to do it. Pretty much the entire staff out for the holiday. Most of the senior level people work 24/7.
Yes, it’s true. I’m in IT, and my team had to scramble to revoke their access.
Good riddance
I heard they were let go due to grooming issues.
Keep your sax smooth.
