Yep. You might need a little time in (Seniority) to be safe on this one. Production will probably not really start clicking till the 3rd or 4th quarter of this year if then. Hope for the best, plan for the worst.

Unless!!!!The Co gets a bail out OR uses their cash to buy higher paid (ready to retire for a real deal)workers out of the Co.If I ran this place I would want to reduce people and reduce jobs.Get rid of a person with 25+ years at 30.51$ and multiple benefits for a young person with their whole working life ahead of them for way less money and No benefits.Im hoping to get the F out

Grab your ass. Ford just released our 2nd quarter results. MINUS $5 BILLION. Kiss that glimmer of hope for profit sharing Next year!!! That minus $7 BILLION did the year so far!!! It’s key chain time again!! Your lucky to have a job speech also! And there probably right this time. Lots of folks won’t have a job at Ford during profit sharing time next year I predict. Wow. We’re going to start up slow also because of orders, not SAFETY!! Life in the car industry.. Getting real.

The CEO is about to lose his job. What better way to save grace and get the stock price up than getting rid of 1/4 of the workforce. They have to drastically cut cost now.

Hope for the best, plan for the worst. Yep... Less than 10 years in- time to plan on moving on. Hardly. Might want to check a plant seniority list when we go back. There’s people with 7-8 years in that are close to the upper 50%. Ask the LAP transfers. |

That’s correct Tiger. We really just started the 2nd quarter. That info about us losing our butt is straight from the top Our CEO. He’s trying to prepare Wall Street. Hope it’s better also. It could be worse.

They would have to cut 2 shifts at our plant for that to happen. I don't see that happening |

all thats gonna be left is you old farts. I agree we "newbs" are more than likely done. The entire economy is gonna be screwed for a long time. Right when the economy was booming. Bad time to be a guy with 10 years or less seniority. Damn. Gonna have to go back to paying 400/ month for family health insurance

We’ve got a great product. Maybe if the economy picks up quickly everybody will be ok. Ford will need to do away with anything not making money. That’s not us. We been thru hard times back in the 07-09 recession. It got lean but everybody at the truck plant made it. We do need to get back to work bad. Good luck brothers and sisters and god bless you all.

I think the economy will pick up faster than what we all think. The stores that are open now are packed everyday. Once everything opens back up it will be booming again

And you also have to think about this Ford is losing so much now because all of its factories are shutdown. The truck plants being down are costing Ford bigtime. Let's hope for best

Let's hope for best Thats the only thing saving them right now. They are losing money because the car lots are shut down, they can’t sell vehicles. The plants being down is saving them, zero labor cost, not buying parts, utilities cost are minimal now. Once the lots open is when you will see how serious all this really is, if the buyers step in we will have a quick recovery, if not the newbies are done. Stay safe people. |

People might actually like the less-pressure approach from salesmen. Then again, if this thing truly hits the shitter no one will have money and you’ll be 100% correct. From now until the election will be a trying time for our country. |
