Thread regarding Ford layoffs

That's okay. We're already making the Mustangs to look like SUVs so we don't need another.

Game over for Ford. They will have to build vehicles under 30k to survive. Primitive vehicles back to 70s and 80s.

@ac What discount engineering? They don't even pay you what they said you would and hide behind EEOC to force vulnerable talent into try-us-in-court talents. I'm legitimately telling you they don't pay you. Or do you mean the non-technical staff here that hire on talent and 'save' money by refusing to negotiate or thinking of the candidates background in the first place. Respect isn't mutual here, you must understand this. Where did the money go if not the incredible talent? Did it go to GM and Stellantis so they can hire others with real competitive offers somehow?

I would also add that the purchase intentions of customers are changing. As Baby Boomers age out, the strength of demand for Full-size pick-ups & SUVS will decline, especially as Gen Z enter the prime vehicle buying years. The OEMs will fight for smaller volume of a shrinking segment, reducing margin & long-term profitability. Off-road racing Raptors may be cool, but they won't sustain Ford's capital expenditures AND warranty costs AND dividends and generous UAW contracts all at the same time.

I bought an Audi Q3 and love it. I would never, ever buy a Ford

I hope Ford is happy with that discount engineering they bought.

Real bargain, that was.

Ford filing for bankruptcy is in the horizon. The next 3 years will determine if Ford is going to make it or bankrupt.
Here are some facts:

1. Model E losing $1b every 3 months.
2. Ford is going to spend $5 this year for recalls and poor quality warranty repairs.
3. Sales of all Ford EV are down over 30%. No one want to buy Ford EVs.
4. Recalls keeps going beyond 150 recalls this year.
5. Ford currently and 2026 do not have any attractive vehicles to compete.
6. Too many workers that are over 55, unproductive, waiting for the paycheck.
7. Too many workers are over 55 and waiting for 10 more years to retire.
8. Ford currently has too many employees with nothing to do.
9. The list goes on and on, but leadership isn't doing anything to turn the company around. They are also waiting for the paycheck or waiting to retire.
