Heard from my LL4, Ford will have massive layoffs in next 6 months.
Looks like a big wave..
Anyone??

@233 exactly very amoral people, but it’s toxicity has more to do with the Moomoo
@12t Marketing is toxic because of off shoring. All decisions are heavily influenced by off shore IT and management. There’s no ability to learn from mistakes, they just double down.
@12t No you do not have to list them. Payroll already has c their names.
Marketing is a toxic organization. Can we just outsource it? Has this group even tried offshoring? You don’t have to be an expert to wear a Moomoo and have a bad case of RBF, wouldn’t the rest of the company prefer this org was out of sight? Morale is in the toilet, after spending billions on buildings as a monument to failure. Let’s give India a chance to show their stuff in marketing, it’s never been a strong suit of the US, these people are incompetent. Do I need to list the failures?
@sf The "hired" did not destroy Ford. Those clueless leaders(?) that hired them did. Elevator time: GOING DOWN! Stoopid is as stoopid duz.
Ford hired Rivians , Apples and Microsoft run-aways for high positions - LL4 and LL3. For last 7 years they destroyed the company within with their ideas and ur--e experience in the automotive industry. Ford wasted 20+ billions and delivering nothing while somehow still pleasing the investors- go figure it out"
After 28 years it would be my fondest hope … please offer a buyout. There will be a bunch of people leaving Nov.30 for the pension buyout this year
Yes, I have heard the same thing from an LL4 friend of mine. Massive layoffs coming.
@e8 Connected Vehicle was the same then they cut in 2024, saying they'd have no cuts in 2024 nor 2025
@e8 FNV4 was once an approved project
i could see it in other areas but my dept. is firmly in "we just got all our work for next year approved and will be expanding" mode
@bp I wonder why, Bill.
I'll laugh if I get laid off due to AI. Did everyone take the training? Did you know you can use our internal AI to direct it to write a 3 sentence email about the status of a project? I guess that is much faster than using teams to message the person directly with something like "status?"
About the only usable thing is taking minutes. Still have to check it though
@at That’s the plan, I’ve leeched off this company for so many years doing almost nothing, nine months of salary as a parting gift sounds like a great way to ease into retirement. The company I started during the wfh days is doing well and I’d like to spend more time there anyway. I love Ford!
I heard same from my neighbor who is LL9
What’s this? An actual layoff post? On a layoff site?
I’m willing to bet before end of Q1, maybe the beginning. AI will be the excuse but in reality it’s because of over hiring and departmental consolidation and poor decision. Interested to hear the vibe from the all company. 10-1 it’s all AI. Keep hearing it’s all AI, but nothing internally has really shifted to support AI. We are blocked at every level from truly being productive with AI.
It needs it. Dissolved business arm needs to be folded in appropriately. Won't be room for everyone. If layoffs fundementally scare you, you've done something wrong up until now. Fix it.
Hold off on that holiday spending!
Model E massive re-org
