It's not just white collar bankers and tech types reviewing their companies and CEO's at www.Glassdoor.com, a web start-up I've been blogging about all day. A growing number of users work on the assembly line in Detroit. I first mentioned this in a post last month, which is when I first discovered the Glassdoor web site.

APPROVAL DISAPPROVAL
Ford's Alan Mullaly 63 percent 13 percent
GM's Rick Wagoner 45 percent 33 percent
Chrysler's Bob Nardelli 19 percent 64 percent
