Ford workers are growing increasingly concerned about the company’s future, reports the Detroit News. “There is a general sense of fear,” said a manager Monday at Ford headquarters who asked not to be named. “It’s almost as if people are saying ‘I’m not going to kill myself anymore for this company.’ They have been worn down by the constant drumbeat of bad news, the constant threat of job cuts. It’s tough — and I am sure Mark Fields knows it.” Last week, Mr. Fields commented on the growing anxiety at Ford. “Is it a little tense now? Sure,” he said during a dinner with reporters last week in Traverse City. “We’re working to communicate with our employees. I don’t think people are in the dark.”
