"In 1940 John Gallo was sacked because he was "caught in the act of smiling" after having committed an earlier breach of "laughing with other fellows" and "slowing down the line maybe half a minute". This tight managerial discipline reflected the overall philosophy of Henry Ford, who stated that "When we are at work we ought to be at work. When we are at play we ought to be at play. There is no use trying to mix the two."
