CAREFUL NOW!

just dont swear, you'll be good
I don't even know how they manage to keep the website this clean given it's anonymous. I've seen many discussions on Facebook where people use their real names and still things get out of control.
@pbg I think you can still post as long as you are following whatever rules they spell out. not swearing, bullying or threatening seems like a reasonable ask on part of layoffs.com - i've had at least 30 replies here, probably created 10+ threads too and none were taken down - please note that EVERY SINGLE post i had was negative towards ford mgmt. i'll put it here to: in my opinion the management is greedy and overly compensated while they are neglecting the well being of the worker.
Those of you at Ford reviewing my post right now to determine whether to delete it or not...you should read and understand the comments on this site and not just delete and hide them! They are real emotions from people who provided a lot of sweat for likely a very long period of time (based on the average service time for those who got released) who JUST got fired within the last 8 hours!
And how selfish is www.thelayoff.com to no longer be credible and allow Ford to control YOUR message.
To all...there are plenty of other sites out there where comments will be allowed freely...too bad that this site ended up being a sell-out!
LOL thelayoffs is working with Ford now?
I've been on the site for a while now and here is my observation on what kind of posts mods/admins delete:
-
Foul language (a big no-no)
-
Defamation
-
Racism
-
Anything that has personal info
-
Using names excluding public figures like PR, Comms, Board and C-Level)
-
Unsupported negative posts (e.g., you will all be laid off, ford engineers are not competent, etc)
-
Trolling (they axe this sometimes, I've seen some troll posts survive but they typically nix it)
-
References to violence and sgurd (read this in reverse, I don't want to be tagged as pitching it here, merely trying to avoid being blocked)
We had a long discussion on this yesterday... The consensus is that Ford has no control over layoffs.com as they are running 100s of concurent layoff discussions and many complain about deleted messages... I'd start with reading site rules (no foul language, disparaging, cyberbulling etc.)
Then look at this post from yesterday - it has all the info you need - Post ID: @ZagsKIS
Also look at Post ID: @ZagsKIS-xwp
I am with GM, we had a similar thread during our round of cuts back in Jan/Feb... See below...
Posts are being deleted? My IP blocked WHY layoff dot com???

I've been on this site since 2015 (first with Verizon and now with GM) so hear me out:
-
mods/admins exist, they are silent tho
-
they delete messages, sometimes in bulk (eg all threads or all messages you ever posted by you or someone else may be nuked)
-
they block ip addresses, some vpns will not work as they are already blocked
-
some words are blocked and trigger reviews, try to enter xes in reverse and they'll review you
-
here are things that will trigger a review,purge or block: swearing, use of names, politics, attacking other people
-
got blocked once, never heard back from them and had to switch ip
-
if someone is crossing the line you can report it on the contact page
-
dont post in weird threads, they may bulk block you (if you do, use vpn)
-
they really cannot stop you posting, use a vpn and you are ok - if you are using a vpn, dont use bing ones like nordVPN as they have them blocked - pick a smaller providedr
-
try to avoid any discussion about race or identity groups, they dont f around with that - that's like an instant ban and all your older messages get deleted
i am sure there is more stuff that i am forgetting but this is it in the nutshell...
