"But Farley said he doesn’t see reductions in the number of factory employees or among engineers and other office workers. The company predicted it would sell 5.6 million vehicles in 2026 as global sales recover, and it will need workers to design and produce them, Farley said."
While it seems no layoffs are coming, according to Farley, I still have many questions. No reductions in the number of employees says nothing regarding quantity vs quality, outsourcing, deadwoods, DEI promotions, rewarding merit vs friends and family, etc. Is the company still planning to outsource the workforce to Mexico, India and Brazil? Are we planning to hire more talent? What safeguards are going to be in place to make sure we hire real talent and not fake talent like Farley, DF, FLV, and so many others at Ford?
My main concern is how I can trust in Farley's statements, when I don't trust Farley. GM said no layoffs, and look, a month later 500 were laid off, and they barely avoided more (so far) with the buyout of 5000 positions. Should I expect the same for Ford?
