"Ford ordered the majority of its employees back to the office four days a week in September."
"In June, the Detroit automaker told employees that they would be required to come into the office four days a week from September 1, with Ford saying the move would help boost growth as the company battles to transform itself into an affordable EV powerhouse."
"Since then, Ford has sent some employees emails telling them that they are not badging in enough and warning that they could face termination if they do not improve their attendance,three current and former Ford employees told Business Insider."
"In an all-hands for a team within Ford's Enterprise Technology division - which oversees Ford's IT services and internal digital tools - on September 9, human resources director Homer Isaac said the tone of the emails was designed to instigate a "change of behavior" around remote working."
Ford required the majority of employees to resume in-office work four days per week beginning September 1. Some employees received emails warning they might be fired for insufficient badging and attendance. Multiple employees reported receiving those emails despite following remote-work rules and having manager-approved work-from-home arrangements. Some Michigan-based teams had already been in the office three days weekly since late 2024, while other divisions maintained more flexible remote policies. Enterprise Technology leadership said the emails aimed to instigate a "change of behavior" around remote working and acknowledged that lenient prior arrangements may have caused compliant employees to receive warnings.
