Sales will direct the compass and actions. Follow those numbers and subtract about 35% for bolongy given investors for closer guesstimate.
Separations we not discussed in the last Town Hall. Calm down people.
History has illustrated that Ford doesn’t layoff salaried people prior to the holidays.
My guestimate is March.
There are so many people working for Ford who has nothing to do at work and work from home they said.
Ford needs to weed out all of these people first. This will justify the 5000 job cuts.
As fast as it all moving(middle east issues) sure creates an unknown. Although it may finally make EVs useful. Buy just the battery for solar/wind emerge-cy back up power. Can not imagine the inversion to make it work.
History shows purchases limited to necessities like food, bare minimal shelter and medical needs during past conflicts. Supplies to support the conflict yes but no extras. Will this effect new vehicle sales or will there be any concern for layoffs ?
Pretty much a job on a day to day basis anyway. Middle east conflict may skid us all in the ditch soon.
I'm not sure I'd give management enough credit to believe that they've pulled their heads out of a certain dark orifice long enough to realize that employee churn and pushing the competent engineers into management or out of the company before they have a solid 15 years or couple of design-thru-launch cycles under their belt is a contributing factor to why quality continues to be an issue decade after decade.
On the other hand, I expect them to continue the search for The One True Silver Bullet. Maybe what they need is a new "Industrial System" that will make it all better. Oh, yah....
With the all the quality issues we're facing, likely due in large part to churn that's been exaggerated by prior headcount reductions, I wouldn't be surprised if management is actually scared to cut heads right now.
Hope I'm one
Employees? Not sure, but I am guessing there are going to be (a lot of) contractors layoffs in Xmas.
Highly doubt any separations would happen before EOY. Would have had to have been planned well in advance if that was the case.
