Edsel Ford (Part 7)

Edsel was checking the Accounting Department and had been told that it needed to be increased in size as Ford Motor was growing. He decided to expand the department. Work was started and more room was being made.

Henry came by one day and asked what was going on. A worker told him.

The next day when Edsel came in, all the Accounting Departments office equipment was out on the road and everyone in the department had been fired. Edsel was astounded and went to Henry. Henry said if the accounting department needed more room, then no accountants and no department of accounting was needed. (Henry was hateful toward the bean counters).

Edsel was powerless as always and could do nothing to reverse his father's decision. But Edsel was such a man, that he found jobs for every one of those who were fired.

This is the way Henry "worked with" Edsel. He was cruel and unjust. Why!??

Maybe in the next article on Edsel, I will bring in another character that (believe it or not) made Edsel's life worse.
