I thought the point was to lay off people from other areas to strengthen model E, but I know for a fact that model E is also getting hit. What's the point of all of this, then?

Anyone know about layoffs in GDI&A?

I believe that, if anything, the scope of cuts could have been smaller.

Hard to concentrate while looking over your back (or in this case, keeping an eye on your IM). I assume people will be contacted until 5pm? Good luck to all

In manufacturing and no phone calls yet. Desk next to me was occupied this morning and is empty now.

Farley made $22.81 million last year. That equates to about 253 people that wouldn't have had to be shown the door even at a pretty generous $90k salary for each of those 253. White collar workers need a union, and no, not a garbage corrupt union... — read more

I did not get a chance to say goodbye to the people I work with during the year. My contract is asking to return equipment to them versus the Ford IT center. Is that a normal request. To those who worked with me in OTA, it was pleasure to work with... — read more 

It is sad and counterproductive to team morale and productivity to have done this layoff as an involuntary process. The company says that a core tenet is to Care for Others. Yet they choose to go the involuntary route. Yes, voluntary separations... — read more

Kumar just cancelled tomorrow's Building Ford Blue Meeting. I guessed he is afraid of getting too many questions on the layoffs.

Looks like everyone is getting their notices in morning. Do they get scheduled ahead of time? Or right at meeting time?

Two of my buddies already had filed retirement paperwork. One for October and one for November. They were retiring to get their lump sum before the rate adjustments. Both were let go today. Maybe Ford thought they would change their mind about... — read more 

Could it be they're planning to do all 3k notifications today?

I am very angry and frustrated with everything that is happening. The people they decided to cut were excellent employees and it's a disaster that they are gone. I think that these cuts will be very bad for the company and I hope that everyone... — read more

FORD GM and FCA jobs are slowly moving to India. H1B will not be a problem anymore! we will all be driving Toyota and Honda

I no longer work for Ford but many of my friends have upcoming meetings. MS&S, I’m talking over half the region. Has anyone here left a 1:1 with news of a reassignment or is it likely going to be as bad as it looks?

I've heard of some folks I know from the motor comp side laid off but we haven't really gotten any information at all about credit. Coworkers are all stressed to the max. Has anyone heard anything or gotten any updates about ford credit this morning?... — read more 

My counterpart in AP informed me that they do not have access to email certain folks on our team. This is how we learned which team members were terminated today. It’s a sad day.

I am Model e. 7+ years. Got the tap on the shoulder this morning. That's life! No one is safe. So just know that at Ford you are family.......until you aren't.
