That is not nearly enough... There will be more this year.
I am happy with my new Acura. I use it to RTO a couple times a week where I quietly quit in the building on those days. It looks like I will sneak by the hatchet again this time as well. Its the system they created - their game, not mine but Ill be damn sure I win best I can as we all race to the bottom. At least until this job is offshored and they wipe out this department… maybe even later this year with another cut. Until then Ill laugh my way to the bank and look for opportunities elsewhere.
So that is a total of 1,550 with the contract employees from last week?
Maybe if Ford paid for any certificates or any training that wasn't Plursight.
"Changes in the industry have created an environment that requires automakers to hire for new positions while trimming others, as skills required evolve."
Yeah, right. Except in my case I found 3 other job openings posted by Ford to Indeed that fit my education and experience EXACTLY.
So I call this statement total BS.
