Thread regarding Ford layoffs

This is just the beginning

This week is just LL4 and higher with some exceptions where the redesign is further along.

The big layoffs come when the next stage is complete. April then May.

Remember, it’s a cascade.

GSR cuts won’t be for a month or two.

Bumped from @Y3IBZfL-ahe for important info.

Hackett man during atop WHQ with an evil grin. This is his MO. Sad part is that the fat man isn't going to be here very long. But he is leaving a path of destruction in his wake. Little Bill's reputation will never recover. Most ethical company my a--.

LL4’s were hit today at PDC. One of them was one of the smartest, high performing, most helpful, and nicest guys I’ve ever worked with. He had about 24 years with Ford and is in his mid 50’s. We are stunned wondering what the rational was for this decision. The anxiety is high for us in the next level. This s---s!

That is the saddest thing about how all of this is being handled. Back in 2006-8 you could argue that some very talented people who happened to have too low service in position or TWA or other factor that contributed to them getting caught up in the layoffs. Yesterday I saw some of the most amazing and talented leaders leave the organization. This is going to be a challenging next few months (at least).

One was (IMHO) was one of the best supervisors in the building. He is 55 with 27 years.

Yeah. I agree. I don’t work there but this is not how to do a mass lay-off. It takes months to execute and with the 6+ month build-up creates gigantic anxiety for their employees.

This has to be the first lay-off I’ve heard of where the manager gets fired first.
