Thread regarding Ford layoffs

@2otg+1l59CK9b When "trimming" operations means cuts above the LL6 level I'll believe we're moving in the right direction. We are top heavy with people who are stuck in old ways... and the "solution" seems to be constant cuts among the groups actually putting product out to customers. It's completely fu----g backwards.

This has been discussed before. An overstaffed company will always cause itself blunders that lead to ultimately poor products. Ford needs to trim its operations considerably to lean up and stop making mistakes. Ford leadership has recognized and understood this simple strategy. I am glad it was mentioned in the Global Town Hall yesterday.

You may not like it or agree, but it is reality and the right thing to do. Once the next gen of Model e products are in our customers hands, the results will prove Ford+ is the new benchmark.

Two Words: Quiet Quit!

@OP. What do you mean "layoffs don't work"? It is generally accepted that layoffs tend to raise a little the stock value, or at least stop the runaway stock price going further down, giving time for the C suite to get their bonuses, and the big shareholders to cash out their stocks. So it is a win situation for them.

Oh! You mean for the company and the workers? Nah, they are fu---d. The company trades mild short term gain for very harmful medium and long term results, while some workers are forced to leave the company (bad publicity and some are going to cost customers to the company too) and the remaining ones will be pi---d, overworked and scared (low moral), resulting in lower productivity and quality. In a nutshell: fu---d.
