Ford employees at Troy Design did a great job producing medical shields this week. Great job. Thank you. Still no excuse for the 3 Stooges taking those big bonuses. Remember boys, some people felt great a week ago, and today they are dead. How... —  read more 

Has any Agency personnel received a temporary layoff or furlough until further notice?

When employees DO go back to the office, how are people going to handle the open office design in many buildings? They have people sitting so close to each other, there's just no way to prevent even the common cold from spreading.

Updates on [email protected]?

[email protected] has updated the phased retirement statement for this year. The Phased Retirement Program will not be available in 2020.

Now you listen here Mr. Hackett. You have driven this company into the darn ground and taken our best leaders out. Leave now. Signed, Loyal Ford Employee.

Paying any money to the top 3 Stooges is disgusting at this time. Jumbo Head, the Clown, and the Humbled Entitled should donate at least 50% of their bonuses for what they accomplished in the last 12 months. Hope you do not have to go to the... —  read more 

Just checked [email protected] 9 months Severance and 5 months HC.

Ford leaders want Federal government to consider another Cash For Clunkers program. I am worried that not many new Ford's would be purchased as we no longer have many low cost vehicles

I found this was a good read: https://www.jackson.com/financialfreedomstudio/articles/2019/02/what-to-do-if-a-recession-hits.html

Planning on making a GoFundMe for Mr Hackett and other execs who sadly have to lose up to 50% of their salaries. Anyone else interested in contributing?

Any words on the following: Layoffs? Pay cuts? Office start date?

Still waiting on a PRP package?? What are your thoughts about this happening given the current situation?

The Spin Scooter team is doing great. No recalls. Keep up the great work. Would be nice to say that about the 4-wheel groups.

Any new word of layoffs?

https://www.freep.com/story/money/cars/ford/2020/03/31/ford-jim-hackett-coronavirus-furloughs/5096816002/

Plants remaining closed through atleast end of next month. As a result, layoffs incoming. Word from top.

Have all contractors been laid off?

It's not like we didn't see it coming after GM's announcement, but DAMN none-the-less. 20% active and retiree pay deferal to be reviewed again in October 2020. Bet monthly pay pensioners wish they had taken a lump sum. Are benefits reduced as well... —  read more 

How does this save the company money.............. unless it's earned vacation pay they would otherwise have to reimburse an employee they let go in the future. Something just doesn't fit.

Looks like the PR move has the potential to backfire big time. I wonder what hair-brained scheme has led to this. What price are we asking for the ventilators?... —  read more 

I would think this would be a perfect opportunity for Ford to get rid of some people they were planning to get rid of anyhow while escaping the usual bad press - since everybody is doing it and it's not even the top news currently. I still think... —  read more 

Just saw that GM will defer 20% of working level salaries starting April 1, with lump sum repayment as late as March 2021. You know Ford and FCA will follow. Things are going downhill quickly. People - stay at home.

A few coworkers mentioned that they heard the STAP tuition reimbursement is also suspended now. I cannot find this posted anywhere or mentioned in any of the videos. Does anyone have any further insights on this? Any chance they let you take classes... —  read more

At least one person on this site said we would have mandatory vacation from Apr 6 to Apr 9. He/she was right! How did he/she know?

When are recalls ever going to stop? https://www.mlive.com/news/2020/03/ford-recalls-268k-cars-with-doors-that-could-unexpectedly-open.html https://wwmt.com/news/local/ford-motor-co-issues-recalls-for-north-america-canada

S&P just joined Moody's in rating Ford bonds high yield (junk). Since the majority of the ratings agency's consider Ford bonds junk it will be made official April 1st

Have any one heard any news regarding engineers layoffs ??

Time for 20% supplier cost reductions due to our falling stock price and stupidity. What a difference two weeks can make.

Any truth to this? It makes sense to me. The family exchanges their shares for hard assets and go to their island or luxury bunker out in Colorado. Bottom line, with the downgrade yesterday by Fitch it will be more difficult to get credit. And if... —  read more

H1B contract worker laid off today from I-tech building today.....Anybody else knows about it.?

Anyone familiar with it @ Ford. Been there a while and heard it happened back in the day but never heard details of what it entails.

We are in it for the long haul. Hard to believe companies with solid balance sheets can endure this economic climate let alone a company reeling such as Ford. I think they will furlough everyone - white collar - adjust cycle plan and call back... —  read more

So Hackett has been so in love with the kids, and nothing but scorn for anyone with experience - what the heck cards does he have left to play. We see the self serving nature of the kids playing out with the pandemic - yep good luck. Hackett bet the... —  read more
