Who's got em?
India Center of Excellence
Now that India appears to be aligning with China and North Korea- how long can Ford continue to offshore massive amounts of Engineering, Manufacturing, and Tech work there? Half of Ford’s global enterprise tech team operates from India. How can... — read more

From the Detroit snooze, sounds like Model E will soon be Model Eliminated… Ford Motor Co. is shifting funds from its electric vehicle division, and the beneficiary is its cash-cow Ford Pro commercial vehicle and Super Duty truck business. A... — read more
It”s Bad
Layoffs have been happening in small batches. Ford Credit customer service got hit hard this week. you could not get a breath between calls till Friday and that was only because they kept asking for voluntary overtime from employees. Also other... — read more

No layoff since may
Why is there so much negativity!!! I dint hear of any layoffs since may. Its just people worrying about job. Just get over it we are headed to holiday season soon cheer up folks.
How are mid year layoffs being handled?
Are they offering any severance or pip? It may be my turn at the year end point so just want to plan ahead. I just hope I get a few weeks severance and bonus for the year.
Yes, RTO really is that bad (not the return part, the office part)
For those who don't currently work at Ford, you may think the posts about having a chair taken, restrooms in disrepair, parking lots on overflow, and people camped out in cafeterias that were not made for working are all an overstatement. As a... — read more
Who knew a-s-kissing was a valid career path at Ford—clearly, talent’s not a requirement.
Ford’s crawling with shameless a-s-kissers who couldn’t do real work if their lives depended on it.
Ford
Still supporting many incompetant LL5,LL6, supervision. Why? LL4- sure want to rid many GSR but living incompetent, arrogant, self serving employment in their own bubble.
Ford 2026 New Models - Nothing New
It's sad to see that Ford has nothing new to offer to the consumers. They are too busy working on repairs and recalls. All of the Ford 2026 vehicles are still look the same as they were the past 4 years. No new innovations and no new designs that... — read more
External hires need to stop
Why the obsession with hiring cast-offs from other OEM at all levels? Are they trying to informally gain access to benchmarking practices of other companies? External hires have done nothing but bring more confusion and problems. Company is being... — read more
Are These RTO Stories Real?
I left Ford many years ago. I can’t believe these RTO stories. Not enough desks, working in cafeteria, people stealing chairs?? Absolute insanity. Which buildings are like this?
Went to bathroom, came back and chair was gone.
Manager said, that is why we have standing desk. Chair is still missing and nobody saw it being moved. Anyone else experiencing this?
Ford Credit building at capacity today
FN1 and FN2 were at max capacity today and then some. The (small) cafeteria was full of workers using the tables as their desk for the day, folks were working at corners of desks and had to sit away from their teams. This was at 8:45 AM, not 10 AM... — read more
Deep Dives and meetings over lunch
I’m starting to decline these. Including Lunch and learn, aka bring your own lunch, but the deep dives are catered for select clowns in the Ford Big Top Circus. This place is really getting to me and productivity is now worse with RTO and people are... — read more
Ford’s No Good, Very Bad Year of Recalls
https://www.msn.com/en-us/autos/trucks/ford-s-no-good-very-bad-year-of-recalls-continues-with-100-000-more-pickups-needing-repair/ar-AA1LJUea?ocid=entnewsntp&pc=U531&cvid=68b83b2b07304224be74b10ac9e3979f&ei=10 OMG. When is it going to stop?
How did you get your inconsistent rating?
Let’s all compare. Heard many of my colleagues got an inconsistent in performance even if they were remotely involved with FNV4. I got told I don’t respond enough on Teams so my collaboration is an inconsistent. Unreal.
Badge, Login, and mouse wiggle checks
Will sell more EVs, make Ford profitable and reverse our record number of recalls. So badge checks are the first check, followed by logins, then mouse inactivity. Brought to you by our AI Data Analysts and our new Palo Alto designed VPN Have a nice... — read more
As I was logging off today my computer all of a sudden did a quick download.
There was no restart needed and no advanced warning of a download to be done as usual so that I could schedule it for another time. Got 2 inconsistent on my review last week. Is this a sign that I get let go tomorrow?
Starting tomorrow
Just be ready to finally make peace with reality
Pulled Over Driving to Work
I was rushing to get to work before 7am so I can find a parking spot and desk. it’s a waste of money and time by coming in to the office
Layoffs just in small batches?
Until when? Just so we can stay extra stressed on a daily basis forever?
4am: found parking spot, badged in, claimed a desk.
Taking a nap in the car for a couple hours.
badging out
at the FN1 building will there be badging out macjines. As of right now they do not. Just curious if the will be implementing them due to the fact that people will leave
Bare minimum starts tomorrow
No more flexibility with my mornings. No more working through lunch. No more working weekends and certainly no more hopping on my computer in the evenings. You’ll see me from 8-5 4x a week not a minute more. I used to give Ford more time than I... — read more
Happy Labor Day and so you all in the office tomorrow!
4 day RTO to turn the company around!
Are layoffs finally going to begin this week?
Why are they dragging out this so long? Get it over with already.
This is why Ford buildings are so bland.
It's very, very intentional. https://www.reddit.com/r/conspiracy/comments/1mz0q4u/lack_of_color_and_fun_changes_the_brains/
So now recall posts are getting deleted
What are they trying to hide??
Recalls
You know what's funny? When items in a grocery store get recalled, people talk about it, they don't buy it again, avoid the brand like the plague. When Ford issues a recall notice, what the fu-k do people think?
Does this make me a bad person?
I'm happy that the latest layoffs are in South Africa and not here. It's good to hear somebody else is getting hit for a change.
Ford Land Follies RTO
Ford Land RTO is coming next week yay and already the tone amongst employees is becoming heated. Order your magnetic desk name plate, be sure to take it with you daily because of the center of gravity nonsense. One of my co-workers in Mexico told me... — read more
I want to leave Ford
What’s been your experience with the job search lately? I’ve been looking for months, and honestly, I’m open to creative ideas and stepping well outside my comfort zone. I won’t go into praising or bashing Ford. I’m just personally burned out after... — read more
