The big ones? Is it publicly available? Or no. I’m new to this
I got an idea
Everybody listen your superiors and enable their behaviors to the extreme. Gas them up and start agreeing without any friction. Let’s do it for 3 weeks straight. I have an idea. Over exaggerate their genius work. Trust me. This will be hilarious — read more
Ford is Wasting (many) Millions on AI
Many millions really. I know people think we’re on the precipice of this huge change in the way everything works. I get it - Ford doesn’t want to be left behind. But, I haven’t seen anything that leads me to believe this is going to end well. If... — read more
Now we're supposed to move on like nothing happened
Except for the extra work and survivor's guilt and worsened mental health due to stress and strained morale and shattered trust in leadership and...you get the point.
Is it just me or are the people in this company slow?
Like actually stupid. I’m younger than most of you all, but I just have to get this off my chest. It just feels like everyone is full of cynicism and missing logic. I feel like I am walking around people that are just pretending to know what they are... — read more
No rehire policy?
Did anyone else who was laid off notice anything in their severance package about rehire eligibility? Mine states that I’m permanently ineligible to work for Ford again—even as a contractor. That feels extreme, especially since my layoff wasn’t... — read more
Keeping Monitors
Ended up getting laid off. It was mentioned to return all computers and monitors. Do they really track the monitors and do they really care?
How many got cut under MJ
Last time I checked, over 8k under MJ Now only around 7k, seems more than 350
How will the skinny Ford Motor Company be?
If the bottom 50% are cut and the top 50% are kept across all levels but done very fairly, the company can actually function well. The problem is they will remove the good ones and start hiring again as the remaining ones (friends, family, yes-men... — read more
ADAS org are we safe?
Now that CVS had its turn what about us in ADAS and Latitude AI under SO!?
DF was laid off?
DF was let go for wasting $10B on FNV4, correct?
I’m inclined to believe more layoffs are coming this summer
It would be naive to think the cuts end here.
How do you focus on anything after being laid off?
How are you supposed to "get back out there" and search for a new job when you feel like an abject failure?
Ford has lost its integrity
It takes a long time to build a reputation. Tragic .
Offshoring
They won't stop until they offshore every single position they can offshore. If you think you're safe and you worked from home at any point, think again. This is the goal.
GitHub Gatsby
Used to think Ford was building cars—turns out we were just vibe coding in Figma and naming commits “final_final2_thisOneFixesIt”. The CVS org? It wasn’t Connected Vehicle Software. It was Confused Vibes and Slack. You’d spend half your sprint... — read more
Emails
Can we conclude that all emails have gone out by now? That people who are affected know it by now?
If Nissan need a plan to survive, does Ford?
Nissan loses $4.5B, needs a plan to survive? Ford’s plan is…? https://www.motor1.com/news/759463/nissan-lost-money-plans-to-survive/
Privacy consent notice
I got the privacy consent notice with single Accept button this morning but no email yet, I checked with 2 other teammates they didn't get anything like that, does it mean am I on the chopping block? I am under SO org.
wave:glow3: [Official] FnF Roll Call
Did the gang survive?
Can someone confirm?
Will the Cdn govt be offering MAID for those who have been laid off? I'm considering all of my options and that is one of the many on the table
Please, let me go!
I'm sitting here hoping to receive that email and nothing. Why don't they offer VBOs before layoffs is beyond me.
June/July - more rolling layoffs
Our supervisor just confirmed that this isn't the end. This isn't even the start of the end. It's just the beginning. I fear for anyone with a mortgage - it's going to be bad. Job market is ABYSMAL and is flooded with international students willing... — read more
Severance Packages
For those who got canned (like me), what packages did you receive? I was with Ford for 7 years and got very little. Not enough to pay for my mortgage and car lease for the next year :(
Important Update
I saved 20% or more on my car insurance by switching to Geico.
Can people please share what's happening today?
I've been jumping from one thread to another, trying to piece things together. Can we post location and number of people hit here, if you don't feel comfortable with sharing anything else?
Microsoft just wacked 6000 employees.

Next round??
Why are people mentioning a second round in June/July? How would that make sense—hitting the same teams again? Why not just do it all at once and start rebuilding morale?
Ford New Capri - Outdated
Ford release the new Capri and the design is already outdated comparing to the competitors. This is what happen when Ford release new vehicle that take 5 to 6 years to design and build. Our competitors can do it in 2... — read more
Dreaded meeting tips
For those about to get laid off. Are there any tips on what should or should not be asked? Anything that should be prepared before the meeting?
Just got the email. 2:30pm meeting
Goodbye my friends and colleagues. It has been fun. I wish you all the best. Take care and see you later. Stay strong.

Ford layoff selection criteria
I was part of the layoffs yesterday and I am really confused. I always received good reviews and one of the team’s most experienced engineers. Is anyone familiar with how these layoffs were considered? I cant help but feel it’s personal :( One... — read more
Cuts continuing today in Ottawa
No one is safe until EOD Wednesday. This is going to be intense. Good luck everyone. Looks like the LL5 who mentioned it will only be all clear after lunch on Wednesday was telling the truth. Everyone is stressed.
