I preface this with no real inside knowledge, just the logic seemingly behind the recent moves, but it looked to be focusing mostly on LL's, specifically those who did not have 8, maybe 7, direct reports assigned to them. Those LL's that were let go will have their direct reports consolidated under another LL. These were generally older (past 55), high salaried, pensioners--not always (which helps prevent ageism lawsuiits), but as a rule.
However, in some cases, entire departments or teams were deleted, resulting in LL's and GSR's too.
I believe the next round of cuts come June and again, perhaps, in August, will concentrate more on the GSR level--again targeting the older, higher salaried pensioners.
The quicker they can write these folks' pensions off the "active" books, the quicker that Ford can be out of the pension game, resulting in savings we can't yet imagine.
Again, all pure speculation on my part.
On a sidebar, it amazes me that I have not yet heard one quote, one iota of a statement of any kind from any Ford family member during this whole time....? Just curious.....
