I read this earlier and thought about posting it, but honestly don't think it will impact Mavericks much.
Unfortunate for the affected employees though.

"Ford CEO Jim Farley has said the company has too many engineers"
So Ford is adopting the Boeing business model.

Other articles stated that Ford has a higher percentage of white collar workers compared to other car companies. And they are hiring specific software developers to reduce the downtime it takes with outside software vendors to provide or change the car software.
Probably reducing the ordering, scheduling and production status programmers as they have those systems down to perfection. Plus if you haven't heard AI is replacing most white collar jobs. (We actually used a form of sp-called AI software 30 years go that once we wrote business requirements from the users the system wrote all the code).

"Autoline" just put out a new "AAH" show this last Thursday(6/22/2023) where they talk about this disruption. They go into the question about whether or not the OEMs and Tier Ones can adapt quickly enough to survive. It's not just BEVs, which you are free to hate or love as you please (they will just roll over you and me and not notice the thumps). It's the whole process of making cars. Tesla for one is revolutionizing the whole factory floor. And they are moving at lightspeed. OEMs with union payrolls and 100 years of bureaucracy are lagging well behind.

And no, I'm not a Tesla fanboy (I am a BEV fanboy) I don't wear a "save the earth" shirt. Don't have a BEV in my driveway (yet). But I observe and respect how Tesla and the Chinese are disrupting the industry. And so is every CEO in the industry - in absolute panic and fear.
