Thread regarding Ford layoffs

Center of Layoffs

HR is concocting a plan to do a massive device return and badge return in person.

Here is how it’s going to go:

  1. You report to your center of gravity once it’s announced
  2. 15 min emails will go out within 1-2 weeks
  3. It’s all she wrote

This massive layoff clears the way for space issues and allows Ford to cash in on available talent.

@aq I can't think of what else they would talk about for 3 hours. If it really is layoffs, I would think it would be done in less than an hour.

You get your severance packages to look for better opportunities. F Ford and Family!

@aa that's true, but that incurs a lot of shipping and handling costs. Ford partners with Kinkos/FedEx. The laid off employees had to drive to a local FedEx/Kinkos and drop off the equipment. Ford pays Kinkos to box and ship it back to Ford.

In person they just the it from your and it's done.

If you're cut from home, they just shut off your AD access to the laptop after some amount of hours and you can't get the severance if you don't return it within some time.
