Thread regarding Ford layoffs

We celebrate them and their contributions silently

There are several people in the area where I work that are actively tracking and keeping a spreadsheet listing of the people who are being laid off (not for all areas - just our skill team). If its going on here, someone is tracking it in other areas as well.

Its sad that it has come to this. There is an active underground for rumors to enable this tracking, and I would say the accuracy of the rumors has been > 90%. It doesn't take long for the info to circulate amongst my coworkers when someone is let go. The list is being actively shared since upper management continues to refuse to acknowledge anyone by name. Not one email thanking them. Not one meeting mentioning their contributions thru their career.

We get to hear about it on the rumor wire. We celebrate them and their contributions silently, with alot of head scratching along the way.

Ive worked for Ford for 16+ years. I routinely work long hours and always have. Im not anymore. Why should I? To play random spin the wheel you get to stay and you get to leave games?

BTW, MAY 21 for next level of cuts in our team and many others. Though rumors are saying some teams as early as a week from now.

You read about the accuracy of the rumors I talked about above right? Book it.

The CDSID updates to an employment type of 1 (inactive) has been very slow. Perhaps because there are so many updates to do. Rumour mill is faster.

@1two: the drop down selection is not in Outlook, but from the CDS lookup at the top of the home page.

I dont see employment status as a drop down value

The process to determine who was let go is very simple. Do an advanced search under CDS. Employment status = I or CDS updated over a time range.
