Yeah I read that earlier something about trying to transition to EV and these people don't have the skills outside of ICE or something like that.

Ford to Cut 3,000 Jobs Amid Restructuring

Ford Motor plans to cut about 3,000 jobs, a move that will affect salaried and contract workers, according to an internal email sent to employees.

Automotive News was the first to report the news after reviewing the email. TechCrunch has confirmed the layoffs and viewed the internal email.

The job cuts, which many have anticipated since Ford launched its restructuring efforts, will affect employees throughout its global operations. However, most of the cuts will be in the U.S., Canada and people working at the Ford Business Services operation in India. About 2,000 are salaried employees and 1,000 are agency [personnel].

The letter to employees, written by Bill Ford and CEO Jim Farley, notes that the layoffs follow significant restructuring in Ford operations outside of North America over the past couple of years.

Just middle management, I'm sure they'll be happy to go work out on the floor for awhile and clear up the backlogs.

So I guess Josh Halliburton, the new director of quality, figured out how to restructure those under him. We can hope the dead wood gets laid off to make room for some quality, Quality people.

Ford’s sales through the first 6 months of 2022 were down, but not as much as the other large auto companies. Tesla will soon be one of the largest U.S. based car companies with foreseeable growth for at least the next few years at 50% or greater. They seem to be the only ones to have grown since the supply chain mess started in 2020. They almost doubled YOY compared to 2021.
