Franchising Comes Fishing for Ford Employees
While Ford's Board of Directors discussed the company's future, some Ford employees spent part of the first week of an extended idle period at their Norfolk, Virginia assembly plant at a company training center, "listening to franchisors' pitches on sub shops, sign-making businesses and religious jewelry and clothing stores." Said one employee, while looking over materials at the Go Fish Clothing & Jewelry Co. and SportsClip tables, "I'm kind of fishing around here. It's not the end of the world by any means. Life goes on. You just have to adjust."
