Default Leaked email reveals Ford cutting salary jobs by 15%

Quote:
With all the reports about American shift workers from the Detroit 3 being axed as part of the sweeping turnaround plans in the industry, it’s easy to forget that a significant number of white color jobs are also being shed. Ford has been one of the most active in cutting its full time force and is expected to announce later today that it will cut a further 15% of its salaried workers.

Ford today sent an email to its salaried workers telling them that it plans to reduce salaried-related costs by 15% as it intensifies its restructuring plan in the face of a worsening U.S. economy. In the email, which was obtained by the Detroit Free Press, Mark Fields, Ford’s president of the Americas, told employees the cuts would be made by August 1 and that most of the job cuts will be involuntary separations of Ford employees and agency personnel.


Ford currently has 23,400 salaried employees, down 32% from 2005, when the company first started restructuring. Ford has also announced that it will be reducing production of its pickup and SUV models and has pushed back its target for a return to profitability to after 2009.

Pretty sure he meant "white collar jobs," which oddly enough is still incorrect since it should be "blue collar" lol.

Blue collar don't tend to be salaried type jobs. They are going after management now.

They should have gone after the management years ago. Nahhh, they just kept producing Excursions and 55 variants of the Mustang line.
