LL5. LL6 and GSR level layoffs will begin first week of April, and will happen organization by organization as reorgs are finalized. As Ford switches to electric and hybrid powertrains, some engine programs will see heavier cuts than others. People in building 1 will be affected, just like everyone else.

It certainly would be nice if there was more transparency and better communication. We have been told our smart design actions could be anytime between second week of April and last week of May. And that no numbers or criteria are known. The communications from LL5s have been a muddled mess. First we were told there would be zero severance for involuntary separations just a swift kick in the behind, which sent the good people scurrying to find other jobs immediately. Then we were told there might be two weeks severance pay. Then someone pointed out the HR involuntary separation website showing the months of severance per years of service to LL5, who had never seen the policy. He did not his change the story of no severance, but wants us all to be reassured that he believes all of our jobs are safe. I get that they want to control their messaging, but jeez how much effort would it be to included some facts in the company wide emails. Add a sentence to the verbose huddle that says, hey this is what to expect if you are involuntarily separates and provide a link to the HR policy.
At least 7000 workers will be cut from Dearborn
Our LL5 is already gone.
