Okay so big layoff across the board after 09-06-2024?
Are you sure about this?
Pivot! Pivot! Constantly but never get anything done
It'd be great to complete things - from ideation to completion would be fantastic. Instead we just pivot. Change focus, regroup, refocus, Pivot! We're redirecting. Stop everything - it's been reprioritized. Blah blah blah I'm so happy to be employed... — read more
Proof-positive that RTO does not lead to more collaboration.
This dedicated employee was not collaborated with for at least 4 days, while working in-person in the office. Unless the collaboration was in the form of a séance... — read more
How are things going for FordPass?
Are the EV features still a priority? I was frozen out due to not being in the club. I was disappointed that F-150 features weren't prioritized.
Be quiet , do bare minimum and collect money
We all know that we are not proud to work at Ford; this company is absolutely horrible place to work where dreams come to die and incompetence is the guiding charter. If you are 20s or 30s, this is the last place to be unless you want to have a... — read more
Stay away! Far away!!! There is only sorrow and despair here.
Any young person considering working for Ford, note how poorly this company treats employees when they get older. That will be YOU some day. You will be old one day. Do you want to invest in community, buy a house, raise a family in a city... — read more

Kumar as next CEO?
His prowess is legendary and well-known throughout our industry.
Before Brackets, IT needs to be fixed
Especially in US. Too many people, organizing and attending meaningless meetings day in and day out , Projects being created for the sake of showing that they are busy only to be quietly closed down later. Too many supervisors/managers su-king to... — read more
I wish for once we'd get some good news regarding Ford
The constant negativity is exhausting. Every day it's some new cr-p that ruins my day. Is there anything good happening at this company?
They are gearing up for the layoff 09-03 to 09-06 got inconsistent all the way
On my review for the first time in my 28 years but hey I am old so they hate me. To them so I am just warning you. Get Ready.😢
How soon after termination do you get your final paycheck?
This is for voluntary resignation
Changing verbiage in PR’s
How do you find your ranking these days? Performance Used to get o, ep1,2,3.. If you had the O or the EP1 you were I. Top (10-20%?) you were pretty much not gonna get laid off.. Now set new bar exceeded met inconstently met Anyone... — read more
Doug F says ratings are not forced my manager said the opposite
In the evdd townhall he says ratings were not forced while my LL5 says that HR forced them to give bad ratings. Are they just putting the blame on hr and upper management ? People are given inconsistent for no reason whatsoever. What kind of... — read more
Can I take another job while working here?
I work for about 10 hours a week and don't feel like Im learning or growing much; everyone is checked out and probably preparing for another job interview. I want to milk as much as possible ( work here the bare minimum and keep my paychecks coming... — read more
No idea who is relocating to work for Ford
Id like to smoke whatever they are smoking to be convinced to come into Dearborn for this company that is probably either going to fire me or lay me off in a few months or go bankrupt
How is Software Engineering at Credit going?
Is it still a bunch of clowns running the show and promoting friends?
GM & Ford Are Struggling With EVs Again, But Why?
Certainly has nothing to do with: Laws of Physics. Gas/diesel is still king, when it comes to power density of a fuel. Lack of BEV infrastructure. High cost of ownership with BEVs. Range anxiety, safety, and reliability with BEV... — read more
I work for 10 hours a week and so does everyone else I know
How is this company even operating? Things move here at a dinosaur pace; projects are slow, people dont respond on slack and are OOO every other day. Being here might be nice and relaxing but seems like I am spiraling into more and more... — read more
RTO five-day mandate seems not to be about the actual work
Given how remote groups have been organized over the years, it seems completely pointless. What would one achieve by putting physically together people who work remotely anyway and whose individual tasks are more often than not interlinked with other... — read more
How is Class of August 2022 Doing?
It's been 2 years since a number of Ford employees and agency were 'involuntarily separated' on August 22, 2022. How is everyone doing? I'll start. I was going to leave before the end of the year anyway due to interest rates on the pension lump... — read more
RTO 5 DAYS
does anyone know if they willbe requiring 5 days a week in the office soon. My group does not callaborate at all and is useless going in 3 days. Makes no sense just aggravating the drive in work on your own and leave. same as you can do at home... — read more
What are the LL2 comps ?
GSR6 here. Was wondering what are the Bonus, Stocks and Options that LL2 get in their packages? Also for LL3 ? For the amount of cr-p I do (50+ hours/week at minimum), I wanted to laugh and pity on myself (sarcastic).
Did You Get Inconsistent on Your PR?
If you got INCONSISTENT on your PR (30% did) and Low Achiever in 2023, pack your bags. Housecleaning coming after 9/6. And don't come back to me with "Name my source!" NDR signed.
If I were CEO
I would Bring back the Fusion or Taurus or something similar. Bring back a 7 seater family vehicle. Make them fuel economical with an Ecoboost engine. Have a Hybrid option available for the both. Watch them sell.
What's the plan for model E ?
now that the dream is over.
5 million ev per year?
Can someone remind me of the announcement to produce 5 million ev per year? Was this back in 2021? JF was challenging us to get ready for this plan. How things change in just 3 years! How many billions did we lose in those 3 years. 15B? 20B?
Playing mind games
I don't know a single person who feels relaxed and doesn't believe that the next round of layoffs is just around the corner. The management is happy to keep everything in limbo because they know some people will leave as they can't take all the... — read more
Always expect layoffs
Honest answer should be: Always expect them. You can stay at Ford as long as they will have you if that is your plan. Does it make sense to disrupt a decent paying situation and leave because of the "fear" of something? Likely not. If a time... — read more
ev meeting today
what happened? what was said?
Farley cancels the “Bullet train” and delays the “Millenium Falcon”:
Ford changes EV plans, will delay pickup truck, axe three-row SUV - https://www.reuters.com/business/autos-transportation/ford-plans-new-low-cost-ev-pickup-truck-launching-2027-2024-08-21/
So do we think layoffs are still going to happen?
That meeting seemed more informational. Wondering if we should still expect layoffs.
So today's 15 minute call was a trial balloon?
See what kind of turnout you can get for such a meeting. So when you spring the real layoff meeting on folks they don't expect it. They think they are slick but they are so predictable.
This company just chases trends and never delivers
We hop on the latest trends always...AVs, EVs, digital, etc and whenever we get to a point where things seem like it's taking "longer than it should" we get cold feet and bail. This is why we need the Feds to ban imports just so we can save face.
