Thread regarding Ford layoffs

Back from vacation today and was told I was laid off

I returned back from my vacation today and the LL5 scheduled a meeting last night for this morning at 7:30 am.

I knew something was not right because its rare that a LL5 would schedule a meeting and it was non-forwardable.

Does anybody know if there will be a HR who will follow up on the next steps? When to handover the laptop and badge?

" LL5 said all instructions are in the package..." Then you follow the instructions that are in the package. Seems pretty simple to me. The time these were sent to you doesn't matter. Only after asking is a little annoying but nothing here is outrageous.

@e8+1jvsjqjr0 - LL5 said all instructions are in the package and asked me to follow. Guess what time he sent me the package? At 3pm and that too after I pinged him!!!!

@e6 That's how things went down in 2023. Reward good employees and fire them 2 months later. It's the new Ford way.

@OP, So if it’s not a troll post and you haven’t even met with your LL5, why are you posting on this board asking questions? Your LL5 will obviously provide you with instructions on what to do with your Ford owned (or leased) property. Maybe wait until you have your meeting before you post the next time you get laid off? 🤔

If you were separated and had RSU's that almost solidifies that you weren't released for performance. These are given as retention bonuses and unless things changed abruptly and you simply quit working, it would be strange for them to release someone they tried to incentivize to stay recently.

You will lose those RSU's. Now if they matured and then you were let go you might get them, but not if you leave before they mature.

I was awarded RSUs and was going to get vested in November. Will I lose or retain them?

Those who think this a troll post are senseless human beings.

If they read the title of my post, it clearly says I returned from my vacation today. So they waited till I came back and LL5 had setup a meeting today to inform the bad news.

Yeah, sure you were laid off and Ford didn’t provide instructions on how they would get their laptop back. Come on! Ford cares more about their leased laptop than you. They always provide instructions on how to get their stuff back.

Buddy, when I was let go there was no option to hand anything to anyone. I was emailed a barcode for FedEx to pack up and ship my company laptop back to Ford. They covered packaging and shipping.

The annoying thing was for the company phone they only covered shipping. I had to bring a darn box and bubble wrap.

Leadership has not addressed any layoffs this week. Nor was there any leak in todays news. I have to agree that this is likely a troll post.

You can give everything back to your supervisor.
