Painful - Yes, Necessary - Yes

I truly believe that Ford is doing this the right way. Just look how long it took GM to figure out that they need to stop making sedans and a few weeks later started to separate people. Ford has been working on the WHAT and HOW for a long time and... — read more

Hackett hired Harbaugh

How's that worked out? They've won nothing! And Hackett puffed up Steelcase's stock by having UofM buy Steelcase furniture. Then left for Ford where he's destroying a 115+ yearold company. But not before having Ford buy tons on Steelcase furniture... — read more

Welcome to the pain train.

But please remember GMs motto, "we go first". Good luck to all those at Ford. I have friends there, and no one deserves to lose their jobs.

This is just the beginning

This week is just LL4 and higher with some exceptions where the redesign is further along. The big layoffs come when the next stage is complete. April then May. Remember, it’s a cascade. GSR cuts won’t be for a month or two. Bumped from @Y3IBZfL-ahe... — read more

Will it continue today?

Can we expect more layoffs at Ford today? Yesterday's numbers seem too low for it to have been completed - at least in my opinion. I'm worried that not only will we see more before the end of the week, but that we are yet to see the bulk of it. I... — read more 

Good luck finding a new job?

Layoffs are one thing to worry about and what comes after is totally another. I we get cut, we will be facing a bad job market, overflowing with workers and with little demand. Al the major automotive companies are cutting, restructuring, GM already... — read more

On what scale were yesterday's layoffs?

I see people posting from various locations and hardly anyone spoke about how much employees were affected. Is there a chance that we can determine what locations have been hit the most and how many people were laid of at those locations?

Look out, everyone

The latest budget plan (first week of March) shows 30%+ of total salary headcount eliminated in many areas, with layoff waves will continue through May. I think it's outrageous how this is being drawn out so long, all in complete secrecy, so will... — read more

When will the us employees come to the chopping block?

For me the bigger question is when rather then will there be. In other words I don’t buy this story about US locations not being hit. So, my question is when, and what US locations could be potentially impacted?

Layoffs and "The Media". The Reality.

I often times see people post about the "media" or "news" when commenting about auto industry layoffs. People need to realize that the media will not "bite the hand that feeds it". That is why you see the layoffs reported but never anything in-depth... — read more
