Ford is quick to lay off older employees and replace us with a younger, cheaper workforce. Here's the thing they keep forgetting or ignoring to the company's detriment: newer generations have a completely different work ethic than we do. They don't... — read more 

Gotion: Combines the words Go + Lotion. https://insideevs.com/news/612359/gotion-ev-battery-plant-michigan/

I'm afraid that at some point I will regret it, and that's why I'm still undecided about leaving.

There has been no official confirmation of layoffs in October as much as some people like to make it sound as if there has been one. We've had this year's major round. It takes some time to see how things are working with the new setup before another... — read more

Someone mentioned that most white collared jobs will be shipped to India, Mexico, and China now that remote work is the new norm. Why would they hire expensive workers from the US when someone from overseas could do it for a fraction of the cost?... — read more 

So quick to letting go of LL’s and GSR’s, but when will these executives get cut or are they untouchable?

I don't like it at Ford anymore. I'm interested though how many of those who left here left the automotive industry altogether? Judging by my now former colleagues who left, more of them left the industry than went to one of the competing... — read more 

This post indicates that employers would rather you leave instead on firing you: https://www.msn.com/en-sg/news/singapore/bad-manager-or-bad-employee-a-deep-and-contentious-dive-into-quiet-firing-in-singapore/ar-AA12ikvI

I am not satisfied with the way Ford has been managed lately. Due to bad management some of the most talented people have left, and some have been laid off. However, I still have a soft spot for this company, probably because I worked here for many... — read more

I keep hearing mgmt's same old excuses that we are going through a difficult and challenging period. Yes, that is true, but the fact that times are hard does not mean that they are not incompetent. Inflation, growing competition can only be excuses... — read more 

We all know the leadership only sees employees as numbers and couldn't care less whether we're happy and satisfied or not. Now imagine for a moment where we would be if all employees at Ford felt like they mattered to the company. If all of us felt... — read more

This is a rather hypothetical question, but I hear more and more opinions that Ford will most likely be sold or merged in the end. Do you think this is the only salvation for the company? No one knows what will happen in the future, but to me it... — read more

I was let go and did not meet retirement eligibility. Yet, the company sends me “congratulations on my retirement” postcard and emails telling me to check on my retirement benefits.

I don't know how some departments here will survive any more layoffs or retirements..

When poor leadership doesn't get results, they have to shuffle management to provide scapegoats to the stockholders. Activities like this never provide results (as Ford should have learned by now). Look for an outsider to fill the Purchasing roll... — read more 

Doug Field is getting closer to being top dog. All the while yesterday's stars are (cough cough) retiring. The house is getting cleaned and replaced with non-automotive outsiders.

How many will retire to avoid losing 22% of their lump sum? 500? 2000? 5000?
