When will it happen?
Does anyone have inside information as to what date Ford U.S. cuts begin for white collar? This anxiety is absolutely killing me especially after reading all of the posts from those from GM that got let go! What a horrible thing to have to go through... — read more
US Fuss...
Ford is cutting more GLOBALLY compared to GM, but GM is cutting in the US, one of the only places they are making money and lets not forget the reason Ford is cutting more than GM, because GM doesn't have anything in Europe to cut, they sold the... — read more

How many will actually be able to relocate, though?
Layoffs at the Flat Rock Assembly Plant will affect more workers than originally announced, although Ford Motor Co. officials say all full-time workers will still be offered jobs at other plants... — read more
Ford's layoffs will be more subtle
I doubt it will be the same. GM is taking all the heat for the auto sector. Ford knows this and is trying to do it in a more subtle way. Even if they lay off the same number of people, it will most likely be through various rounds of layoffs instead... — read more
1000s of posts on GM's board, all I see here is SILENCE
Why are we less chatty than GM?
Ford is over-hired
Ford is over-hired....period.....especially in the last 5 years....in-terns, coops, H1bs, H4EAD...list goes on and on....so many projects are on hold.....need discipline enforced....
Preview of what's to come
People should check out General Motors page today - layoffs have started and it seems to be brutal. If you want to know what we at Ford have to look forward to very soon, there's a preview for you. I'm pretty sure what's coming here will not only be... — read more
Cuts are coming
Hope I’m way off here but I think there’s a lot of pain to come for employees of this company. Every article that I’ve read over the last few months suggests to me that Ford is embarking on a fundamental change of how it does business. The language... — read more

For what it's worth
Not sure how much our CEO can be trusted right now, especially in regards to layoffs being planned by Ford, but he seems to be adamant about layoffs not eclipsing those of GM. Note that he is not saying there will be no layoffs, mid you... — read more
Ford Global Technologies

When will we know?
So many analysts and experts and whatnot are saying that Ford will be laying people off in tens of thousands sometime in the future, creating unnecessary panic without even giving us any time frame of when those layoffs might happen. What's the point... — read more
Flat Rock Assembly

Ford of Britain
All contractors being laid off Ford Dunton UK December 2018
How come I'm only now hearing about this?
I was so close, I am 55 and have nine years with Ford. Funnily enough, I used to work for GM as well once upon a time. While General Motors offered a buyout and now faces layoffs to trim its white-collar ranks, Ford quietly presented salaried... — read more

Plant Closures & Job Cuts
Personally, I expect 2019 to be an awful year when the company starts to reveal its plans for ‘restructuring’ and then start to implement those plans by way forced and voluntary redundancies. We have openly been told by the company that it needs to... — read more

When will we know?
Do we have any ideas on when we'll know who is getting laid off? I like working at Ford, I've been here for over a decade now and have enjoyed every day of it. But things have changed so much since the announcement, everybody seems to be on edge... — read more
For those of us who have worked there our entire lives!
The announcement was not clear and poorly timed. They should have waited until they were ready. Now we have to worry daily and walk on egg shells until we know if we as individuals are being put out on the streets. HOLIDAYS are coming and I'm sure... — read more
2008 Ford Separation Survivor.
A promised lifetime employee purchase plan benefit evaporated when I accepted the lump-sum pension payout offer, which Ford's A-Plan system interpreted as my having died.
Here comes contract time all the sudden Ford is broke
Stop with lies
Anxious
We are anxious too - me and my SO work together for Ford, we fear what may happen if the cut is as deep as they predict. With three kids at home, a sick parent and all eggs in one basket (Ford) we are not in the best position. I hope all turns out... — read more
Ford Layoff Questions or Rumors? All you'll find is silence!
Nobody is getting any answers from Hackett until "the time is appropriate". Much like his CEO history with Steelcase. If you read his past and how he made Steelcase a profitable company you would have learned he is a Consolidator. He cut 12,000 jobs... — read more
