I certainly wouldn't. Not worth living in that area for peanut pay

All of the employees at Fords should be in the office at least five days a week.
Not going in regardless due to family, but I would never return without reason given. If you want people to be in the office, there should be a reason for them to do so. Otherwise your wasting their time and Ford's.
I would most likely go to the office and not have a single team member there with me. It seems rather ridiculous.
RTO isn't about getting you back into office. It's a gentleman's layoff.
The point is to motivate voluntary departures to avoid severance and bad press of layoffs. It's financially in the extreme favor of a company if you leave voluntarily.
OP think he making a statement, but doing exactly what they want lol.
Ain't no way I'm gonna RTO into an office where I don't even have a consistent spot to sit just so that Ford can get a tax break from Dearborn as well as keep Gov Whitless happy with revenues on gas taxes, etc.
Simply, NO!
I have no problem with SE Michigan but don't see a point in RTO. Half of my team is in Mexico or India so I'll be on webex regardless.
Crumbling infrastructure, cr-ppy winters, a ton of urban/industrial blight no meaningful transit, anchored by an essentially dead city, lack of economic diversity, sky high car insurance, high property taxes, income tax, negligible natural scenery aside from the Great Lakes, etc.
I'd first chug down a gallon of Castor Oil...
Low cost of living, pleasant weather 75% of the year, cool office space. Yes
No. There's no point to commuting in heavy traffic only to sit on WebEx calls all day. Many of the folks I collaborate with are not in SE Michigan. That said, I don't mind going in occasionally for a purpose-driven reason.
“that area”. Obviously the OP doesn’t live in the area and is just a troll. Probably from a competitor company just trying to stir the pot.
get the job posting out and sue!
Yes.
