About sums it up but I'll be damned if I don't get my investment for the past 30 years of my life.

I was hired in the 1990's.
We would say that if I were cut we would ble.ed blue.
No more.
Ford's DEI policy is going to cause them to D.I.E.
I see women being promoted that don't know a thing about vehicle, transmission or engines. They are asking the d-mbest questions you could imagine.
What happened to promoting the right person for the right job.

China is going to destroy us.

I know Ford upper management read this forum. I know some of them.

Wake the fawk up now and fix this company. Unfortunately most of upper management is more interested in their next promotion or pay raise to actually give a fawk about the long term success of the company.

Jim Farley should never have been promoted. He is a talker and nothing more.

Heinricks should be our CEO and not that clown Farley. He's the laughing stock of the Fortune 500 CEO's. This I know.

If you work in a LCC then it still is!

Boomers saved their money in dollars, at least the smart ones. Gen-x should be saving their money in Bitcoin at least the smart ones.

I contributed millions of dollars of savings for Ford during the years that I worked there. Ford paid my bills and provided me a retirement pension that I can enjoy a comfortable living for the next 25 years.

This used to be a good company to work for but not anymore. I am sad to see that the company is no longer interested in making good quality products that people want to buy. The company moral is in the sh-t hole. No one wants to do any work. Engineers hired outside engineers to do the work. It's pathetic to see what's going. I see my coworkers doing nothing for the company, work from home when they are not even at home. Some are working on their home remodeling projects and they told their LL6 that they are working from home.

Pepperidge Farms remembers, along with pensions, bonus flex dollars to pay for healthcare, along with a host of other bygone benefits.

I started with Ford in the 1990's. While it wasn't my only job, I did spend over 20 years there before I was involuntarily separated. The biggest reason I stayed on was the pension. Getting that lump sum made it all worthwhile.

It is just a shame Ford stopped making vehicles for the common person.

Everything in moderation. My 33 years at Ford provided a comfortable lifestyle for our family . 57yrs old and starting a different phase in life. Volunteering and giving back to our community are just as rewarding.

I am not bitter about getting let go, just disappointed in the way it went down. Management cowards both up and down the chain of command.

Just think how different it would have been if your manager stood up for you and told his boss that this is not the way to treat employees. Failures at all levels. Just plain sad.

Until around 2012 it was like that.

It really is a thing of the past. Corporate greed has changed things.

Young people have learned that they have to job hop, especially early in their careers, if they want to up their salaries or titles.

No, only people who are 70 years old remember those days. So it’s unlikely they are skulking around on a Ford layoff site. We all grew up knowing corporations won’t take care of us, we have to take control of our own lives.
