I logged in to watch this afternoon and it's gone. No webcast, no link, and no Outlook appointment reminder. Someone really did a thorough job. What's the advertising slogan? "Like it never even happened" WTF?

I'm leaving Ford, even if I don't get SRDed. The old guard acting in their selfish best interest at the expense of the company is probably the reason why such cullings need to happen....and sadly, the cullings are affecting the innocent. It's quite a... — read more 

Anyone with engineering or IT skills and wanting to hone their craft should be interviewing and getting out of Ford asap. The company leadership is corrupt and only out for themselves. It sickens me to watch all the intentional waste with... — read more

I got laid off it the last round, but a few days ago I got a job offer from Ford for a similar position within a different group. I don’t want to come back to such a company, not after everything I’ve seen, and frankly I don’t even know why would... — read more 

I've been at Ford for around eighteen months - should I worry about being laid off any time soon? From what I understand, it's usually the older employees that are laid off to save on their pay and benefits that have accumulated over the years. Is... — read more
