I see people mentioning various places and various departments that were hit with layoffs but nobody is mentioning any numbers of affected folks or positions that are being hit. Any way we can figure out where the layoffs have been done the most, and... — read more
Help Please! Cuts at Ford Credit. Who/where
I work in Colorado Springs office.Have not heard much. I am very scared. Any insights? Hear possible close office to selling, to layoffs
This will continue through spring
Following weeks will not be fun... "Ford Motor Co. is continuing to cut salaried jobs, the company said Wednesday, a process expected to culminate in the second quarter."... — read more
At least severance is good
We need to be grateful for that, right?
Anything today?
Will we see more layoffs or is it done?
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

LL4 & LL5s were hit today. IT folks on edge. PDC also as well. Vehicle safety group re-orging soon
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
Per Said Deep:
Both lines are quotes from Said Deep in Corp Communications: Quote 1: We're not going to provide any numbers. We will provide details once the process is complete in the second quarter. Quote 2: All I can tell you is there are some separations this... — read more
For those Ford laid off this year or in past, I have a question
For those Ford laid off, I have a question. If you are under 62 and was planning to retire at EOY, and you have a feeling that you are being targeted - would you be better of submitting your retirement papers now? Or does the lay-off allow you to... — 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?
11 Step Process: Ford Salaried Employee Layoffs

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

Restructure where you need to, but get it done quick then get on with making high quality tough trucks and cars
I'm just glad I got out last year, took the 9 month pkg, and lump sum retirement pkg. God I feel for those of you still with the motor company as well as Ford Credit. I left in Sept 2018 and this garbage started trickling out in October. Six months... — 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?
Ford to Sell Off Ford Credit possibly to Barclay's Bank
Lastest rumor is possible sell off of Ford Credit to Barclay's while that finance subsidiary is still turning a decent profit. Recent VP (VP of Business Center Staffing ironically enough) hired from Barclay's, is touring Ford Credit locations during... — read more
Email just came out
Email just came out confirming there will be reductions. Says this will be completed "by mid-year." Not very specific.
Maybe something close to happening?
There seems to be a lot of urgency within my group over the last few weeks to get projects done as quickly as possible. Really not sure if someone knows something is coming soon, or it's just a general effort to look as good as possible. Jimmy boy... — read more

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
Dearborn salary cuts
Reorganization will be finished for LL6’s in first week of March. Not sure what will happen to GSR’s in Product Development until 1st week in May. Some LL6 jobs may become GSR’s.
