Your boss says, "Jump!" you say, "How high?" <br /><br />I know that Ford wanted complete control over his workers, like the coal mines did theirs. Workers were more or less disposable back then. Maybe some things haven't changed that much.OrbsCorbshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08195806840368262235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-514457884876261588.post-31819368672432535332012-07-16T21:02:31.824-05:002012-07-16T21:02:31.824-05:00Orbs, when I was working and the company had one o...Orbs, when I was working and the company had one of their top customers or a potential customer come in they gave them plant tours.<br /><br />When you got your check on Friday there would be a notice with it stating, (example) Wednesday the 10th Madame Zoltar Products will be touring the plant, NO ONE is to wear “T” shirts with any advertisement such as a Harley Davidson or some bar shirt. It will be plane or an official company shirt. If you wear a nonconforming shirt you will be sent home to change.<br /><br />And the unwritten rule was if you didn’t come back...you paid the piper in more ways then one!SERhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12011742429467763315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-514457884876261588.post-15431511976843700982012-07-16T20:24:03.059-05:002012-07-16T20:24:03.059-05:00kk, I hate when the employer imposes his/her will ...kk, I hate when the employer imposes his/her will on the employee's personal life.OrbsCorbshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08195806840368262235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-514457884876261588.post-53159856020870139682012-07-16T19:17:59.920-05:002012-07-16T19:17:59.920-05:00Ford had his ‘Mile Long” building.

He manufactured his own steel, he own thousands of acres of woodland and had his own foundry.<br /><br />None of the white people wanted to work in the foundry so he personally went into the black neighborhoods and donated lots of money to the churches and paid the blacks a little more money to do the nasty work; and the blacks loved him!SERhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12011742429467763315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-514457884876261588.post-28812160504623047362012-07-16T17:36:23.383-05:002012-07-16T17:36:23.383-05:00Is there anything Ford wasn't involved in?Is there anything Ford wasn't involved in?OrbsCorbshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08195806840368262235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-514457884876261588.post-87990933415635459252012-07-16T16:25:56.230-05:002012-07-16T16:25:56.230-05:00I saw this on Discovery, PBS or some other remote ...I saw this on Discovery, PBS or some other remote educational channel, too. <br /><br />Interesting note: when I worked for a major local business, (to remain anonymous, but you know who) Kingsford was owned by P&G, a direct competitor. We were told at one meeting by some bigshot, that to be loyal to the company, we should not use Kingsford, despite the fact that we didn't manufacture anything similar.kkditherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16181697760037435065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-514457884876261588.post-69959562625359704062012-07-16T10:21:09.181-05:002012-07-16T10:21:09.181-05:00This one I knew.
