Ford has $30B after borrowing $15.4B. This provides enough liquidity for Ford to survive unless this crisis extends until the beginning of August per Deutsche Bank. Deutsche Bank’s Emmanuel Rosner downgraded General Motors Co. for the first time... — read more

I wonder if the below statement from Tim is assuming no layoffs until the end of 3rd quarter. At least China is producing vehicles again. "However, we believe we have sufficient cash today to get us through at least the end of the third... — read more

Anyone employed with Aerotek aware of any news?

Ford does not care who they get rid of. If your division is Motorcraft Parts and not making the margin your job is cut. They hired a company Marketsource. The program director has no idea what he is doing. Marketsource lay offs and fire you. Most of... — read more 

Anyone know?

Ford Credit's exposure is higher than ever. https://finance.yahoo.com/news/fear-impending-car-price-collapse-110000556.html

All was held back until after our invol. vacation and Easter weekend but all He$$ is about to break loose. Ford is hemorrhaging cash and to be fair Mr. Hackett has no choice. 20% salary cuts, furloughs, and 27 - 30+ folks are about to be shown the... — read more 

This site used to have some useful information but now it's a bunch of hateful jabs by people that cannot spell nor write complete sentences. Please stick to the point, folks. This is not about politics. You should be sharing topics about the... — read more 

What department is going to be hit next? Any updates?

I was wondering if any of the people who were redesigned last year are eligible for unemployment after their 9 month severance is over? Anyone try yet? I'm at the 9 month mark and wondered.

Ford employees at Troy Design did a great job producing medical shields this week. Great job. Thank you. Still no excuse for the 3 Stooges taking those big bonuses. Remember boys, some people felt great a week ago, and today they are dead. How... — read more 

Has any Agency personnel received a temporary layoff or furlough until further notice?

When employees DO go back to the office, how are people going to handle the open office design in many buildings? They have people sitting so close to each other, there's just no way to prevent even the common cold from spreading.

Updates on life@ford?

Life@Ford has updated the phased retirement statement for this year. The Phased Retirement Program will not be available in 2020.

Now you listen here Mr. Hackett. You have driven this company into the darn ground and taken our best leaders out. Leave now. Signed, Loyal Ford Employee.

Paying any money to the top 3 Stooges is disgusting at this time. Jumbo Head, the Clown, and the Humbled Entitled should donate at least 50% of their bonuses for what they accomplished in the last 12 months. Hope you do not have to go to the... — read more 

Just checked Life@Ford.com 9 months Severance and 5 months HC.

Ford leaders want Federal government to consider another Cash For Clunkers program. I am worried that not many new Ford's would be purchased as we no longer have many low cost vehicles

I found this was a good read: https://www.jackson.com/financialfreedomstudio/articles/2019/02/what-to-do-if-a-recession-hits.html

Planning on making a GoFundMe for Mr Hackett and other execs who sadly have to lose up to 50% of their salaries. Anyone else interested in contributing?

Any words on the following: Layoffs? Pay cuts? Office start date?

Still waiting on a PRP package?? What are your thoughts about this happening given the current situation?

The Spin Scooter team is doing great. No recalls. Keep up the great work. Would be nice to say that about the 4-wheel groups.

Any new word of layoffs?

https://www.freep.com/story/money/cars/ford/2020/03/31/ford-jim-hackett-coronavirus-furloughs/5096816002/

Plants remaining closed through atleast end of next month. As a result, layoffs incoming. Word from top.

Have all contractors been laid off?

It's not like we didn't see it coming after GM's announcement, but DAMN none-the-less. 20% active and retiree pay deferal to be reviewed again in October 2020. Bet monthly pay pensioners wish they had taken a lump sum. Are benefits reduced as well... — read more 

How does this save the company money.............. unless it's earned vacation pay they would otherwise have to reimburse an employee they let go in the future. Something just doesn't fit.

Looks like the PR move has the potential to backfire big time. I wonder what hair-brained scheme has led to this. What price are we asking for the ventilators?... — read more 

I would think this would be a perfect opportunity for Ford to get rid of some people they were planning to get rid of anyhow while escaping the usual bad press - since everybody is doing it and it's not even the top news currently. I still think... — read more
