Ford...Looks Like Desperation

http://money.cnn.com/2006/01/27/news/companies/ford_parkinglot/index.htm

Ohh come on now. Get real. I couldn't even imagine how pissed I would be to work at that company right now. Is that what these companies have to resort to now. Typically you would like to see a company have a product that people want to buy. Not that they are forced to buy. I have to say that is a horrible idea. Sure it build loyalty, but at the same time it fosters resentment. Maybe the employess want a car with better than 20 MPG's? Maybe they like the way a Toyota drives? Who knows. Either way, this is not the way you buld with your relationship with your employees. Maybe Ford should try to just make everyone drive their cars? Maybe Bill Ford should go knocking on doors (with a gun, of course) and threaten peoples lives if they don't buy his cars? Brilliant! Keep it up guys.

  • I don't think they make you "buy" a Ford? They just allow you park elsewhere if you choose not too. Or for the glass is half full crowd, they allow you to park closer if you choose to support the company that pays the bills.

    It's not Billy either, it's one plant.
