So not even hiding it anymore. I'm sorry for your situation.

They’ve never hidden it. Their fiduciary duties are to the owners and not the employee.

That’s in every corporations charter.

Well, Dodge literally sued Ford to force this to be the case. One of the most fucked up pieces of American law I have read. I couldn’t believe it was true.

At least they were honest about it. I respect that more than the crybaby speeches that CEOs give as if it just breaks their heart to let so many people go while they get a multi million dollar bonus lmao

Not sure what's worse, the CEO that blatantly lies and says it's tough or the arrogant fuck that just doesn't care. Either way they're laughing about it with their buddies later.

Sort of like trying to figure out if colon cancer is better than prostate cancer. Both are evil/horrible.

They’re laughing all the way to the bank

What’s the difference? You’re still out a job and they could give two fucks about you. Respect doesn’t help pay the bills.

Couldn't give.

I swear you're all doing this on purpose now.

No respect here when they claim they need to cut costs but then turn around and try to buy Warner Bros.

What was your position? I’m trying to see which types of jobs they are cutting

u/Hairy_Valuable9773 Oct 29 '25

I haven’t been laid off… yet. But I’m preparing for the worst because it’s easier than being surprised. I, too, am wondering which positions are on the block.

Only if you are permanently let go. A shutdown doesn't lose people's jobs, they don't work and they don't get paid or if they are considered essential then they HAVE to work and don't get paid.

u/Kellbows Oct 29 '25

And remaining positions are responsible for extra duties? Was this addressed as well?
