Thread regarding Ford layoffs

My skills are degrading the longer I’m here

Just give me the layoff message and a 6 month severance; I will gladly go.

This place is absolute mediocrity and no one who has any ambition sticks around for more than 3 years

Give me the 6 month severance and I’ll walk out tomorrow and be able to work on my own business than losing brain cells on the brain rot here

@c9+1jr5qgywz what if they use that as grounds to lay you off? They have people that look into it. Additionally, management sometimes speculates and circulates rumors about you might already having an additional job (when you genuinely do not), this exasperates the situation further as it puts you in fewer of trying to escape. It’s hard out here at Ford.

@bv+1jr5qgywz EXACTLY. Thank you! JUST LEAVE. If you don’t like something, JUST GO. What is so complex or hard to understand here? Why do you feel trapped? They took some time out of your prime years okay so???? LEAVE. What is the point. Nobody is rejecting it. Just causing noise for no reason. GO. NOBODY CARES THAT YOU HAD A BAD EXPERIENCE BOO HOO WE ALL HAVE BAD EXPERIENCES IN LIFE. Su-k it up! Put up or shut up if you’re not BUILT TOUGH.

I'm sick and tired of listening to these creampuffs who complain ad-nauseum about everything under the moon. Nobody is locked into this company and everyone is free to leave. You are whiney and butt hurt, so why dont you take your unhappy self somewhere else? You will be happier and your coworkers will be too.

RE: b1+1jr5qgywz Yeah— NOT. Stream of consciousness also known as CHAIN OF THOUGHT in AI. Get real. Nobody thinks or maps stuff out like that, especially transparently in real life. AI must’ve gone rogue and off the guardrails. Human being.. yeah RIGHT OK SURE.

Just a troll looking for attention!

If you are remotely sincere about your situation, keep your resume updated. Given your comment "losing brain cells on the brain rot here" your less then functioning self should be the first out the door when the tariffs fully kick-in.

@b5+1jr5qgywz, Yes, someone else sees it. the AI threads are easy to identify, Mostly because they are overly verbose and frequently just refer to OP instead of targeting replies with @. This seems to really started this weekend, before it was often just one ofs

Or maybe it was completely ChatGPT reply and that last response was also a ChatGPT reply. Turing test really being put to the… test.

None of this was ChatGPT written or revised, you can easily tell it was a stream-of-consciousness in its purest form. This would be the last thing that would ever cross my mind as AI-Assisted writing. In fact, I would use these as references to baseline human text that is entirely unchecked. You can tell that they did not read it back after they wrote, they just went straight to the submit button. If there was only one word allowed to describe it…. I would use “authentic”.

Dude just wants to clear up false stains from being associated and dip. You are trapping him. Never once was money part of an ask. Never once did they try to get fired for severance either. All of this that you are doing is just a really bad look on Ford. They didn’t want any problems. Stop their prolonged suffering. They care about honor. It wasn’t about money.

I think skills for the actual victims, that aren’t op because op is our insidious “leaders” are deteriorating because they are trying to going through the system as fair as possible and they aren’t getting time to play on the field because we are occupying the space. It seems like a hostage situation to get what WE want. But not them.

These comments here remind me of another thread where it was mentioned how we negatively seem to want our beliefs about others to become self-fulfilling and say that we are right… we don’t let them focus because we don’t have a clean break and they never get closure, it’s like we trap their minds and they are fighting to release their mind and be done with it, but they going from system to system fighting while they could have been spending their time on their own life building goals. It seems that we took a positive mind and overloaded it with negative pain during the prime years up until their brain is fully developed. Seems like they went a long life until exposure to such a situation. What a shame to be dealing with this during their life. They will never forget it, that is for sure. Free their mind.

How can one focus on their departure with threats over their head, ostracizing them, and sabotaging them so they don’t speak about their experience. It’s a cycle, what was done to them internally continued and spiraled with nobody in power to stop it. Who is checking power here? Or are we going to blame our children for leaving the state and say they are the problem. Think about it!

Op is making it seem like people suffering think they are better than those around them. Maybe they think they wouldn’t treat others around them because they don’t feel the need to cheat for wins, they play the odds. Op knows right from wrong, they are choosing to pretend. Common tactic by those in power at ford is “feigning ignorance” and lying by omission. The whole reason is that they are, well, cheating! Please do not turn into individuals like OP this is sick witch hunting and tormenting on a public stage. They make it seem like people don’t try to reason or amicably stay or work with them. They pretend that they aren’t responsible for constructive dismissals when communication deteriorates and commitments are broken. Did you know ford makes promises during a constructive dismissal to keep you to stay instead of letting you go and owning up to the fact they lied and led them on in the first place? They just dangle more hope and let it continue. They exploit the YOUNGEST of the youngest in the field that don’t know better, and prey on those who are not used to interacting with bad actors such as OP. All eyes on michigan

@a5+1jr5qgywz tbh id call it cognitive warfare. Think of the active effort going into subduing victims who are grieving from moving on. They know it’s wrong and they try to keep them in this control. This is a human rights violation.

For whom it may concern.

If anyone’s curious op is HR . Don’t be so foolish. They are trying to paint an opinion to paint someone as a problem. Don’t be so naive.

This only happens during times Ford is under legal pressure or fear that they are— you can be assured that it’s not a third party rage-baiting. It’s retaliation for comments made towards ford regarding certain treatments in the other thread, please refer to the comments in those threads to reinforce the motivation for OP in this one. It is to paint a narrative of a real cover up, and is the sad story for many others who didn’t fight against a machine that is used to winning and getting away with it. That is why you see oscillation where these threads pop up each time something rubs them the wrong way. Think smart. Notice the metrics used such as 3 years. 3 years is generally an unspoken rule for promotion timeline. It’s purposely jabbing at the employees that waited. These are the leaders of your own company trying to cause divide and create a sentiment towards those that suffered under different fates / circumstances that are even ACCURATELY displayed to you for an ethical decision on your part. It’s highly exaggerated (6 months). This is dangerous and real thing you are all witnessing and can be aware of at ford to understand that you aren’t crazy, this is what they do. HR goes to school learning how to dodge the rules instead of using them to uphold fairness at integrity at ford. Think about it.

Laws should hold the people accountable not just the company. One day this will point back at you. Show your true self to your families if you feel righteous making a mockery out of people suffering from ford. Keep this same energy when you are called out

6 month severance? Crazy. If you need a challenge why don’t you ask for more responsibility? They will give you that but no promotion. When you keep doing everyone’s work around you, they will inject themselves around you to ensure they get credited. When you ask them for fair pay, they will completely lie and lead you on and they will never tell you any specifics or anything in the future. Basically they will use your skills and kick the can as long as possible perhaps even up until the point it’s time to go to a new team internally, having to restart rapport all over again and proving your worth. This is a manipulative devaluing strategy that was performed by advisors and LL6 people leaders at ford motor company and you should recognize that if genuine they may be messing with your head. While you are joking I’m communicating to the readers that actually know the harmful damage that is done and perhaps are wondering if they are crazy. Op is likely a sick minded individual who lacks a sole similar to the ones in HR and also speak up that enable such immature behavior and see no human person in front of them asking for any sort of fairness. You can tell that OP is not a good person because in their mockery they ask for 6 months severance and they also make it seem as though employees are genuinely trying to get fired to gain something as mediocre as that. It begets the question whether clarity or information is given to an employee up front on whether they are being actively exploited / used for their skills and led on to believe one thing or not. It’s very twisted. All the people that are in ford, look and watch your peers around you for bad actors because you don’t want to associate with people like this because one day your kids are going to look at you differently for how you treated people. Any family person will not tolerate such apathy towards human suffering and exploitation. Especially making a mockery out of it. While they get a laugh, they don’t really recognize human people are being affected because they’ve been inside the system for so long they’ve become desensitized. If Ford tolerates such behaviors it will surely see light one day and it will really reflect when digging goes on to extract the gems that really shine light on how long it went on noticed but ignored. What side of history and what legacy do you want to carry is what the real question should be. Going back to this specifically. People would genuinely leave on their own accord if they had genuine information and are not led on and promised things that are never true. You are playing with human lives by acting such a way. The desensitization of people in ford that act this way is definitely indicative of evil when you think of how they cynically lean into the assumption that an employee complaining about a situation is looking to get fired so they can get severance when the policy itself doesn’t even favor the employee unless tenured for extremely long. This is simply a manipulative strategy to make it appear as though this is the perspective of those that are suffering at the cost of people in ford and one day the board and investors are going to look at a monumental pile of information pertaining to the longevity of evil. All those things reflected on ford.com show nothing but lies and it is very sad because Michigan really needs companies as big as ford to be proud of but it’s very discerning how we treat our people. It’s not a good. It’s hard to move in the now with a brand that is still stuck in high school and it really is sad to see people like OP bringing it down. Really removing an icons legacy for contemporary times here. I truly hope things get better and ford snaps out of it and be a good influence to our community instead of riding off historical success as a justification to do insidious things without care for human capital in our region. There are families that are hearing about fords reputation and it’s not a good look. I personally hold the state of Michigan for associating with a company that is involved in various things that are doing damage to the state in a larger sense. Nothing funny about misrepresenting and mocking real abuse that occurs. To make it seem like the motives are one but are truly the other. You will doom us all with this
