DEARBORN, Mich. - Ford Motor Co. has narrowed its losses in the fourth quarter amid continued weakness in North America, says the outlook for U.S. sales in 2008 remains grim and is making more U.S. employee buyout offers to cut costs.
Ford is offering buyouts to its 54,000 U.S. hourly workers, CEO Alan Mulally said.
Mulally said salaried cuts will also be made, mostly through attrition. The company will also adjust production schedules as demand sags |
Time to kiss those jobs goodbye

Fnord is actually a joke. Steve Jackson makes games about the Illuminati and calls Ford; Fnord.
It was something I'm sure only few would have understood.

Check this U-tube video about Fnord, but it may just confuse you even more.
