⏱ No Bronco Scheduling Next Week (5/9)

[Compta38]

I can tell you—I have someone living with me who works at MAP. He goes in later today, and to this point of the week, he hasn’t heard a thing about a layoff next week. Normally when there’s a temporary shutdown, they learn about it well before the last day of the week. We shall see though.

bro, it's for SCHEDULING not production...if you're already scheduled for these weeks it has NOTHING to do with this thread.

We literally see this same thing pop up 3x a month yet people are still confused. How this is possible? I have no idea.

No. Somehow all reading comprehension gets suspended upon entering a Bronco Scheduling / No Scheduling thread.

However, these threads do elicit some of the best (over)reactions and I am looking forward to the ensuing: So much for my build date!, ZOMG Map is shutting down!, Bronco rollout is a disaster!, Dealerships model needs to die!, My dealer said..., No rear cupholders!, hysteria posts.

That’s why I’m trying to ease people’s minds here.

They’ve been steadily working 35-40 hrs / wk for about a month now. But they’d prefer to be closer 60 hours.

I get it. I’m trying to let people know not to worry.

Wow, seems like like a lot of people have been playing the "My Dealer Said" drinking game. Step away from the bottle (and bong)

My dealer said: ….
Ford told me: ….
I’m almost half way through the Bronco calendar Ford sent me.

LOL, you are the one who brought up MAP layoff's. May as well walk into a crowded theatre and start yelling at everyone to "REMAIN CALM, DON'T PANIC, THERE IS NO FIRE!!."

wtf happened to the original schedule? Bronco is not worthy enough for them?

Bro again those have already been scheduled. These would be for June/July scheduling JFC

 

[DSRTR8D]

I wouldn’t get bogged-down in “scheduling”. They have previously told the employees on a Thurs. or Fri. that they’d be off the following week. So my point is: They make HUGE decisions like that all the time at the last second. They’ve even robo-called the workforce on the morning of to notify them that the mandatory Sat. was canceled.

So stop worrying about scheduling into July.

You can count on one consistency at Ford: Constant change.

These are the threads that become the most entertaining

Not exactly, but ok.

I’m here to tell people to stop putting so much stock in “scheduling”. That is a very fluid thing. When they make shift-on-the-fly decisions at the production level, you can bet their best laid plans (scheduling) have gone astray.

And by the way, that works the other way, too! Back in fall, there was a rumor going around MAP that they may shutdown for Nov. and Dec.! Well guess what? They probably worked as many mandatory Sats. during those months as they did in any other period over the last year +.

They wouldn't get laid off if you look further down they are building Rangers

That’s partly true, yes. But if the same chips/parts are going on the Ranger, and they’re short, then a temp. shutdown is possible.

These are the sorts of things that have been happening the past year +. They’ve had 3-4 temp shutdowns and numerous short workweeks.

I’m just stating what I’ve seen happen. It’s not about what I think.

Look, I got my Bronco. I was just trying to be helpful.

How's your housemate who works at MAP holding up? Seems like long hours doing exhausting work. Hope they understand how there are a lot of people out here who love the product and appreciate the work they do!
