My father-in-law is a Ford (salaried) retiree and my brother-in-law is a current salaried employee. I pray his job is safe.
I am a contractor, we are "disposable employees."
I took this assignment knowing that it can be terminated at any time, even if my performance is flawless. It just goes with the territory.
They did announce massive job cuts this morning, most will be early retirements, voluntary separations, but inevitably there will be involuntary separations.
I am praying for all those at Ford now and in the past. My husband works at GM. He kept a job. Pray for those in Doraville Georgia who do not have a job-October 1st. They will soon be without any job. The last paycheck is it-no deals of any kind.
