4 day RTO to turn the company around!

Why are they dragging out this so long? Get it over with already.

It's very, very intentional. https://www.reddit.com/r/conspiracy/comments/1mz0q4u/lack_of_color_and_fun_changes_the_brains/

What are they trying to hide??

You know what's funny? When items in a grocery store get recalled, people talk about it, they don't buy it again, avoid the brand like the plague. When Ford issues a recall notice, what the fu-k do people think?

I'm happy that the latest layoffs are in South Africa and not here. It's good to hear somebody else is getting hit for a change.

Ford Land RTO is coming next week yay and already the tone amongst employees is becoming heated. Order your magnetic desk name plate, be sure to take it with you daily because of the center of gravity nonsense. One of my co-workers in Mexico told me... — read more 

What’s been your experience with the job search lately? I’ve been looking for months, and honestly, I’m open to creative ideas and stepping well outside my comfort zone. I won’t go into praising or bashing Ford. I’m just personally burned out after... — read more 

How did they go?

I did an internship this past summer and was extended an offer in PD (engineer). I found this site researching Ford's stability. Is this site representative of your experiences? Looking for advice.

Is there any truth to these performance quotas? Can anyone steel man what's going on here, cause on the surface this seems absolutely ridiculous. Are managers literally being given percentages? 70% must be met, 20% did not meet, 10% meet, etc? If... — read more 

Model E employees will work collaboratively with Ford Blue contributors.

JOHANNESBURG (Reuters) -Ford Motor's South African unit plans to lay off more than 470 employees as it seeks to adjust production capacity to match current and future market demands, the South African Solidarity union said on Thursday. Ford has sent... — read more

Organizations are being forced to mark more than a quarter of their teams low in performance reviews as low achievers, or inconsistent or however they want to work it. People are being marked low in the overalls to satisfy HR demands, but if they... — read more

Happened yesterday, but had the night to sleep it over. Many years of hard work and I’m not optimistic about the coming months looking for a new job.

Most of the H1Bs are remote and having working multiple jobs, and pulled unqualified spouses into the company. When will this stop? Ford is renewing H1Bs while laying off Americans!!! WAKEUP!!!!!

This is sad, I reported many bugs (Jira’s) 3+ years ago when I worked as Ford as an Engineer. Then I was laid off (Paid to much?) Wish Ford best of luck, but change is needed. Job market is bad, I just saw this recall tonight on the news. I... — read more 

Crazy to think that after being forced into giving all of his team insulting and fabricated feedback (we exceed our deliverable metrics and objectives) this is the effort he puts in, when his whole job is to manage a small team. I really agree with... — read more 

Ford is doing very well, so Jim has time for his Bronco road trip!

Does anyone have any LL4+ names of recent layoffs? Mid-years are done, but it sure seems quiet, at least for LL4+.

There will be layoffs to reduce overhead so the dividend checks to the Ford family can continue.

But I feel relieved. What truly hurts is when companies don’t have a backbone to take the accountability on themselves and put the blame on you. Well, such companies are not a place to work for anyways.

I was listening to the Dave Ramsey show and one of the callers said her job was making brackets. Made me think of the infamous quote.

So my forced ranking was Whatever?

Just curious if JF is getting his badge swipes while camping out in the desert? I’m assuming he will get one of those nasty emails from HR as this will certainly lower his average. Rules for thee, not for me. It’s all smoke a mirrors here.

https://www.fastcompany.com/91376683/fords-reimagining-offices-starting-with-a-historic-engineering-lab This article should ask how much the employees love RTO! Papering over cracks. You can't polish a tu-d.

Has it always been this bad? Internal processes that are archaic. No defined method of project management disorganized chaos and slide decks Webex, Slack now Teams just choose one for sake of my sanity!! Jira ticket after jira ticket and throwing... — read more 

I have more than $800k saved in liquid investments. If I am laid off I will laugh out loud. I feel sorry for those in debt with mortgages. Best of luck to you.

Ford will stop production of the Escape, just like the other discontinue models. Ford can't compete with Toyota, Kia, Hyundai, Mazda, or Nissan any more. The sales number of the Escape continue to drop and Ford is loosing money making the Escape. ... — read more

"Ford’s dividends might sound like a matter only of concern for the company’s shareholders, but U.S. taxpayers should care. Over the years, Ford has mooched some $8 billion from federal and state public troughs. And just before leaving office, former... — read more

Is it really happening? Honestly, I hope so. I’m ready to be done with this chapter of my career. That said, I feel for the people who really need their jobs right now. Wishing good luck to all of us.

Anyone else questioning this rationale? A diversion from Model E losses or a move in the right direction for Ford?
