Thread regarding Ford layoffs

Layoff Advice

My LL# leader told me that his complete team is going to be layoff in next 10-15 days.
He adviced me to just use these 2 weeks to get a offer and jump it before bloodbath happens.
You have only two options :

  1. Jump before flood comes to your home.
  2. Wait till flood comes, ruins your money and home, then waste some days to get another offer and finally Jump.

I am sharing same advice to you all. Hope, It helps you.

Out org LL6 tells us we have 4-5 new vehicle programs to support starting in the next 30-60 days.
My interruted Ford career started 31 years ago, no pension due to me.
I want to be let go with whatever pittance is offered.

Good luck getting an offer in two weeks in this job market. You'll be lucky if you even get a screening interview in that timeframe.

@hv+1jtvdnq1k: I remember this definition for layoff as well, but over the years it has morphed to mean reduction in force (RIF), involuntary separation, firing, termination, etc.

No “layoffs”.

A layoff is where a company stops paying some workers until business conditions improve. Then, the workers are called back.

Ford used to do this.

Now Ford just fires people. No coming back even if that person’s skill and experience is desperately needed and they have job opening posted for it for months and months and months.

always best to find a new job while you have one.

Why would you jump ship without a job lined up?

I don’t think that’s the advise.

Be the first to grab another job before the corporate ship sinks, otherwise, the job market will be saturated.

Why would you jump ship without a job lined up? At least you'd get unemployment if you're let go.

Y’know, these individuals giving you ‘favors’ go on and laugh about this sort of thing. Bragging about how they saved the company a month’s worth of severance (at minimum - depending on years spent at ford). Bravo. It’s possible you are the LL# leader (redundant wording BTW).

What a sick disgusting world!!!

Failed system. Also, is ford THAT broke? We need to ban people from having kids. No more psychopaths!
