I believe Ford was too intrusive with his employees. I believe that if you are a hard worker and prove to be one, you deserve the $5 wage. However, I do see his side of the story. This was during a time of a depression. People who needed money that were good people, not drinking, gambling, or producing out of marriage children should deserve that extra raise. He was trying to keep people?s lives on track and help society by rewarding the people who lived good lives. A lot of people during this time were losing hope and didn?t see reasons to stay with their morals. This was the reason he was giving to his employees to live better lives. If I owned a company I wouldn?t want to be giving bonuses and raises to people who are going out and spending on drugs and gambling it away. I would want to give it to a person who is in desperate need of money to help support his or her family and not waste it. He was trying to give the money to the people who were not going to through that money away at a time was money and jobs were scarce.
