Thread regarding Ford layoffs

Anyone at Pitt, McGehee, Palmer, Bonanni & Rivers PC, in Royal Oak. Michael Pitt is very busy. The others are very good too.

Call Sam.

Ford is a very big, very fancy money laundering operation that happens to make cars.

@h5 Unless they were incorrectly classified as exempt....

What abuse? If you are an exempt employee, the company can push you as much as they want without paying OT. And as an At Will employee, you can quit when you get fed up with it. If you are so desperate for a job (or Visa) that you were willing to put up with it, that's on you.

They are all busy with the executive orders.

Sorry, you don’t have rights in America. Thanks for your cheap labor

I would feel better if Ford goes bankrupt to be honest. It will prove their immorality and real worth. Blaming du-sh ba-gs above LL5 is tiring, id--ts care about paychecks only. The best way to start is to have a political connection with the White House. Anyone ?
Place 50% tariffs on all Ford products due to human outsourcing to India. Then the rest will take care internally. The sc--um will consume itself with no deliveries and timelines.

@cd Sc--w them indirectly, direct method wont work , they have army of liers who can conver them at company expense , you can fight like that!

"Move on with your life—apply to other OEMs,...."

move on with your life = YES

Apply to other OEMs = NO

You'll be right back where you left off. Leave automotive if you want a stable career.

It is pointless to get an attorney. All Ford will do is make up lies about your bad performance and it will be your word against Ford. Ford will win. You will end up being fired on a made up reason. It is easier to get a new job while still employed so apply at other places and just quietly move on. Don’t go to your exit interview. Nothing good will come of that if you complain.

Call Joumana Kayrouz. I see her ads on Southfield road.

Lay offs were selective , not random , if you analyze who was sweeped and from where. In some particular places , it was a bunch of people from the former LL6 / LL5. The was no age selection criteria, more like a bias from LL4 / LL5 real ba-s-rds. They prepared for it for weeks. I hope this helps you. About the abuse, some people were laid off as contractors , rehired , and laid off again.The company has no morales. You will see the same people all the time - untouchables. In my understanding, Sha--ref was in India to sign a contract and outsource software there. Whoever spoke Indian were leading lay offs to achieve the head count reduction. Now is leading Indian team to replace us. They lay offs also focused on vested 401k , they made sure that they could reduce it by laying off new engineers. It was intentional. Note that only a few 9 months max Severance were laid off.

Call Mike Morse. Please let us know what they say.

You could be the beginning of a class action lawsuit!!

@ab Wishing you all the best, brother. Never give up, and take care of yourself. That’s life and some things are out of our hands. But we keep moving forward. For me, it's a lesson learned. I knew layoffs were coming, but I didn’t expect they’d ever reach me. And trust me - I was a very important Senior Engineer for ANY program. You are not alone.

@ab+1jw7kky5h sounds like model e. I wish you the best of luck. And I’m truly sorry. Please document and recount as much as possible so you don’t forget. I suggest journaling or something. You may regret not being able to recount your experiences or time.

@aa I contributed to a critical component of the vehicle software. The one that is essential for production deployment. Due to the complexity of this work, finding a suitable replacement for a new development won't be straightforward. Its their loss and I will move forward. Never Ford again.

Op what department are you in if you don’t mind sharing

Straight confusion, @a5 is clearly not defending bad actors—they’re criticizing the very secrecy and lack of accountability that keeps those people in power. The misdirected attacks are a result of messy thread dynamics, not logic.

@a5 Stay hidden—you're always the last to notice a disaster anyway."

"

@a5 You get there. Do not worry too. Just not your time YET.

@a4+1jw7kky5h Their time doesn’t come because of “id--ts” like YOU. They thrive on secrecy and anonymity for their power.

This is my second reply here. Move on with your life—apply to other OEMs, switch industries, or consider relocating. Many who left Ford are now in a much better place. It takes time and preparation to land your next role, so stay focused on your next milestone instead of dwelling on the high-ranking id--ts at Ford. Their time will come—I can assure you of that with absolute certainty.
It will start with LL5 & LL4 - to LL1 within 1.5 year. You will hear in the news and smile. God is there.

Same here. I stayed up all night pushing to deliver FNV4, only for some clown to announce its cancellation. I want to see those clowns brought to their knees. The whole thing was organized 1 months before lay offs, with LL4/LL5 id--ts sniffing around to select who they do not like. They didn't care you were new and you delivered. They didn't care that you didn't have opportunity to start 3-4 years ago like them who got promoted from previous lay offs.
