I share your suspicious. Before they raised their salaries, they were having to hire 52k workers&#x2F;year despite only having a 15k workforce, due to a tremendous turnover. And the extra money wasn&#x27;t free; you had to subject yourself to the &quot;Ford Sociological Department&quot;, whose 200 investigators would make sure you complied with the company&#x27;s rules: be married, keep your wife at home, abstain from alcohol and to ask for permission before making serious purchases (like buying that Ford car).
