Thread regarding Ford layoffs

PD

I work in PD. My LL4 has always had an open calendar for the past 3+ years. As of yesterday, he had about 40+ private appointments (each 20 minutes long) for next week. As of today, he has the entire days of 21st, 22nd, 23rd blocked off of his calendar, and switched his Outlook settings to Private so none of his meetings are visible.

Our department structure was finalized on the 7th of May, but it takes HR 1-2 weeks to finalize the severance packages and whatnot. Hence next week will be my D-day (same job, new job, no job). No clue what's going to happen, but it's out of my control at this point.

Phoebe, some of the fire/re-hire age discrimination and Glassdoor scrubbing threads over on the GM page might be of interest.

I'm a business reporter at the Detroit Free Press working to monitor cuts at Ford. If you feel you can talk with me after work, confidentially, I would be grateful. I am attempting to confirm reports of internal/boss calendars changing status from public to private viewing as well as meetings scheduled on certain dates in specific departments.

Please call or text me 24/7 at 313-618-1034. My email is phoward@freepress.com

Thank you ~ Phoebe Wall Howard

Have no meetings next week set up for my group. Pissing me off actually because I have heard the rest of the groups have them except us.

I work in IT and don't see anything like that on my LL4's calendar.

My leadership team in IT has the same days blocked, marked private. I didn't think I would feel so stressed at this point since the decisions are already made, but I feel seriously c-appy about it. The effects of SRD on productivity must be through the roof.
