There are very good reasons to boo this man, but this isn’t one of them. Lol
A lot of people are very ignorant about history. This is much better than 12 hours a day 6 days a week and getting paid next to nothing. He wanted his workers to be able to afford the cars they were making
Boo him? Do you have any idea how progressive this was at the time???
Still more progressive than Switzerland to this day. They have normalized 42.5h workweek. You need to work 8.5 hours to be considered a fulltime employee.
That one thing was progressive.
The literal Nazi shit he got up to, on the other hand…
Right, but this post is literally just about that one thing… If you want to boo him for the other shit you might want to bring the other stuff up as actual context in the image and repost it with the new context.
Considering the manufacturing work weeks used to be 12-15 hour days, 7 days a week, that’s a hell of an improvement.
Not the gotcha you think it is, Zoomer
People needed to have time to actually buy and drive the cars they were building
I used to tie an onion to my belt, that was the style in those days
Which was the style at the time..Get it right, Philistine :p
My memory is not what it used to be
I remember when this happened, like yesterday
I applaud him it’s was insanely generous at the time. Outdated for most of todays work but a 4 day type work week etc wouldn’t have even been thought possible at the time.
