Recently Ford was in the news here in Michigan regarding layoffs. They found emails saying if an employee is over 55, have a career of large success and as a result are paid above average then lay them off.
Ford is facing huge challenges as the entire industry has to pivot to battery powered vehicles and they want to get rid of their best and most experienced people?
This will not end well for them. I'd be just the opposite and try to convince these folks to work until 75!
- kjksf 5y agoThat sure sucked but this was not about the age but about the cost. They wanted to fire the most expensive people. In union shops seniority tends to go in hand with higher pay. And I'm guessing their thinking was that the closer someone is to retirement, the more likely they are to accept a payout offer.
- Retric 5y agoThis is likely a direct result of the EV transition. They now have a lot of people with 30 years experience that’s seemingly irrelevant.
