The official word to the media: "We aren't providing numbers" should tell you and that is big. If it was a few hundred then it would be published to folks could relax a bit.
In fact, I think they few hundred leak was probably talking about agency layoffs on Friday.
This place is a cluster ....
So they're dragging this out over the whole week? Ford is losing a ton of productivity over a couple hundred cuts. It has to be more, right?
how did it go?
Private Message or IM; Good Luck.
Usually means, if you get an e-mail, you are good. Those that did not get the e-mail, well, we already know.
Meeting will inform everyone to work from home until further notice
Yep mass layoffs. Because that's what Silicon Valley went to.
Ford is a bunch of wannabes!!
I'm in Model E and my entire group got this meeting invite. I doubt they fire all of us.
Ours is 1:50-2:10
My guess is they will formally inform you all of impending layoffs to your area/ department.
Other possibility but slight chance of happening is they announce the rumors of the layoffs and want Eveyone to know they’re safe
I have a 2pm meeting as well. I'm certain it's not a cut meeting. Looks like Ford Salaried only. Seems weird it would just be for contractor cuts fallout from Friday. They don't usually talk about those officially. So, I'm guessing there were cuts this morning as leaked to the FREEP.
Just received a Important Business Update - attendance is required invite from LL2 from 2:15-2:25 pm edt
Cross referenced calendar to my colleagues, and others and they have the meeting invite as well.
Either everyone in this meeting invite is all fired or safe. Think it’s the safe but still paranoid
For reference my CDS badge shows “A” as of 10:42Am EST and I’m part of FNAMR (Manufacturing)
I'm from model e and I got the same email
What departments are getting the meeting notices?
@bqn+1njkiZ3R My LL3 and LL4 are both on the same meeting it appears. Gonna be insane if we’re all just axed. Wouldn’t surprise me but wow!!
All speculation. but I wouldn't put it past Ford to do the mass layoffs via a webex call.
Mass layoffs this time? Instead of individual meetings!! Yikes lol
@qbm+1njkiZ3R that mailing list was weird.
but my speculation is this can only go 2 ways.
People in that list are gonna be mass fired via a webex call
or people in that list are the ones that are safe.
I'm thinking it's the former.
I got a 15 minute meeting along with my entire team (Ford members only). Perhaps they are masking who the meeting is meant for....
Good luck... Ford will downsize to be competitive... It's just business.
Yes that same one.
I just got a 2pm meeting called Important business update. It’s not just me tho. Some mailing list that specifically says no interns lol. Weird
What area?
Is it a 15 minute meeting like they talk about in other posts?
