Alternative headline: Powerful CEO crippled by his own actions, wonders why he would do this to himself.
Edit: Basic economics is only true for rich people. For poor people, it's an ineffable mystery never to be solved.
- “CEO of company that produces cheaply made, sub-standard products realizes he underpays his staff”?
"I almost felt bad for them, but then one day during their stupid leftist mandated lunch break I noticed one of them eating an avocado! The gall! Tell me you're working three jobs and then eat an avocado! Just skip the avocado and you can actually save money! The young are so entitled and completely out of touch with reality..."
- They probably had to store their avocados in a fridge! A fridge! How can they even complain living in absolute fridge luxury!
Reminds me of the old reality show 'Undercover Boss', and the whole premise of the show was CEO's realizing how tough their workers' lives were, and the people they interacted with got prizes in the form of gifts to demonstrate the CEO's empathy and how caring they supposedly were.
Disgusting stuff.
This is just insulting. The three jobs bullshit started more than a decade ago you ignoramus. This is no epiphany, this is simply speaking to the paupers. Actually infuriating.
"So I changed company policy to include working more than one job to be a fireable offense. Problem solved"
It's crazy when they tell on themselves how out of touch they really are.
I know the date on this and I swear I saw a very much similar article a long time ago. So what has been different at Ford since then?
Will they invest in their own training programs???
Will they back benefit increases???
GTFO
Too bad he can’t do anything about it to help the workers. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dodge_v._Ford_Motor_Co.
