Thread regarding Ford layoffs

RTO has been a disaster

Productivity is in the toilet. Bathrooms are disgusting. Food in the cafeteria tastes terrible. Even the coffee machines su-k. Everyone is hacking, coughing and sneezing all the time.

I'm spending 30-45 minutes in traffic to and from the office. Worse on days there are accidents.

Couple that with terrible bonuses and raises, and the constant threat of layoff and I'm not sure why anyone that doesn't have a pension sticks around. I'm out as soon as possible. Lots of fully remote positions out there.

It’s no longer quiet quitting, now quiet firing ….terrible performance reviews, stack ranking and PIPs designed to avoid the negative press and morale around layoffs and severance payments

It’s following the Amazon model now.

You all jump when the whip is cracked...

You all toe the line....

I hope you feel a little better about yourselves by coming to this anonymous forum and act like you have some control in your small sad lives...

Because nine of you are quiet quitting.

“ You are not all quiet quitting. You are all just mediocre employees.”

Why would anyone go beyond the basic only to be fired next quarter.

No, dude. That's not what he is saying at all.

You are not all quiet quitting. You are all just mediocre employees.

It is the reason this company is failing. And it is the reason why our jobs are being sent to low cost countries. The engineers in Brazil, Mexico, and India actually do a much better job than most of the lazy engineers here in the US.

It is just a good old boys club of lazy workers that aren't really capable of much more. That's why all the lay offs keep happening.

Such typical office clock watchers on this site!

I've worked at an assembly plant for 23 years! I make over 100 grand each year not including overtime. But I work every minute of my 40 hours!

You lazy clock watching office workers are showing leadership exactly why you should be replaced by low cost country workers.

You are all the fools....

Nobody is quiet quitting. You are all doing just exactly what you're told.

That's called doing your job. Which is what all of you are going to continue to do until Ford, possibly, lays you off.

Because you sure aren't going to leave on your own free will.

I think maybe you all like to say you're 'quiet quitting' because it makes you feel like you have some power in this exchange. The only power you have is to stop working for the employer. That's how at-will employment works.

You aren't quiet quitting if you are getting your job done. And if you aren't getting your job done.... Well, you know where that leads...

I can tell you're a bit of an edgelord...

But I have news for you. The schedule you just described IS the Ford way, lol. You are exactly like all the other GSRs and LL6s. I bet whenever someone sends you an IM, it takes you hours to reply.

I'm not even trying to be insulting. I'm just stating a fact. You are exactly like all the others. That isn't quiet quitting. You are just at the entry stage of Friends and Family (if it is true that you go to lunch with your LL6).

Here is how my quiet quitting works.

Monday, I log in, answer some emails and IMs. Set up my miss jiggler and then do whatever I want around the house. I log in to any meetings that I may have. I only speak of asked a direct question. After lunch I do it all again.. Until 5pm

Tuesday-Thursday I drive in, badge in about 8:45. I get to the desk I reserved then I go to the bathroom, get coffee and a muffin. By 9:30 I answer some emails and IMs. I attend any meetings or log in from my desk. I go to lunch out with my LL6 or a coworker. I'm back by 1:30. I stay until 4:30 then bolt. I play on my phone including this forum as much as I can through out the day. But I'm here! Present and seen!

Friday, see Monday except I'm usually offline no later than 4pm.

Quiet quitting is winning!

Finding a conference room or place to have meetings onsite is not possible. Many conference rooms are booked all day and no shows. People are double booking and discussions over conference rooms are getting more intense. Some people are even hiding cables on the docking stations so nobody else can sit there. It’s not what you expect to help on focusing. I heard also crazy stories from some building where people who walk away to go to the restroom and when come back their desks are already taken by somebody else. Be

Nobody here is going to quiet quit.

This forum is a bunch of big talkers who aren't going to do anything.

You should all check some email now so you don't miss anything! You don't want your LL to think someone else on the team is a bigger brown noser than you!

“ old Ford they watched when you came at 7 and and went home at 6 and now no one seems to care.”

This is coming up next, first our group was 1 day a week in 2023 then 2 days since last July then 3, now we’ve been ordered to have ‘design reviews’ in our calendars all the 3 days or rtw, next is going to be reviews starting at 7:30 making you come in early- boil the lobster slowly metaphor

I don’t mind coming in at 7 and leaving at 6 but what I do mind is the inevitable layoff that’s gonna happen despite putting in the effort

Dude, you aren't going to quiet quit - and you definitely aren't going to actually quit.

If you could have found a job that paid the same or better and/or treated you the same or better - you would have by now.

You're just like all the other whiners on this forum. You're all talk but no action.

You better get back to work now.

I'm sure you have a meeting to get to - and you won't be late - because you're never late...

Or some emails to write...

Or maybe a PowerPoint or Excel file to work on if you are 'skilled' enough...

@zsy+1rEUWO71 uh yeah right. Ever since the took away the anonymity of it, you'd be crazy to speak up as the only move Ford has is retaliation. Ford IS NOT a people oriented company, it is evil to its core. The whole Ford Family thing is nothing but a PR shtick for the weak minded. Don't fall for it. It is nothing but filling their pockets with money even if they lue, cheat, and steal.

It's all a pointless exercise brought to us by our incompetent clueless execs. 6 mos from now we will have to listen to them complain how things have gotten worse and they can't figure out why. Per usual, we'll just have to sit and think, we'll duh. Another day at Ford.

No - you don't drive when you used to work.

Your work hours haven't changed. You just have to leave earlier to beat the traffic!

If you don't like the long commute, then move closer to the office. Nobody is forcing you to live where you do.

Move closer or leave earlier - but you better be at a desk and logged in when your start time rolls around.

For you that's probably 8am - unlike us plant workers who start at 630am. Do you think we get to complain about traffic?!

RTO is exactly what I expected. The desks are broken, the docking stations missing, no food and gross bathrooms. But what I didn't expect is everyone is rolling in at 9 and then it's vacant by 3. The old Ford they watched when you came at 7 and and went home at 6 and now no one seems to care. The management burned the bridge with the workers so just come in and socialize, eat lunch at the good places you liked and then go home and get the kids off the bus. I used to put long hours in, but now I have to drive when I would have been working. So they get less of me.
