Bush's Baked Beans. I've never worked at another facility where quality was focused so much more than actual production. The line stops all the time over anything remotely impactful to quality to make sure that the product is safe, and the standards are met. I've seen them shut production down for 3 days while they diagnosed and solved an issue *that they could have ignored and just let the filters catch*. Oh and they continued paying their employees through the downtime. Absolute amazing company.

Nintendo's former president willingly took a 50% salary cut due to poor sales of the wii u so he wouldn't have to lay off staff, this keeping morale high and quality top notch.

Fiskars. Scissors and branch loppers. I broke a set of loppers and I was pretty sure it was my fault because I was cutting a branch that was WAY too big and I twisted the loppers. I did this many, many times over the years. Finally it broke the blade. I sent them an email asking how much to get a new lopper blade and explained that it was my fault. They said "no worries" and sent me a new blade for free. And a whole new set of loppers for free. I only buy Fiskars for scissors and loppers now.

If this happens to you, document it, and use the HR call to negotiate better severance. This is the only time you’ll have any leverage.

I’ve been through this twice. The first time, after exceeds expectations reviews, I had a meeting scheduled w/the lead medic, w/whom I hardly ever worked. Call starts, and HR is on it. Medic starts in with we’re letting you go, it’s a “bad fit,” etc. the bad fit is he disliked me bc I asked questions. I asked why my manager wasn’t doing this and was told she wasn’t available. Later learned she so massively disagreed so she refused to participate. Boo effin hoo. Have the balls to break the bad news and say you wouldn’t have made this decision. I know there’s no point in arguing, so I interrupt and ask HR to tell me what the severance package is. Ended up negotiating 8 months pay and full company insurance plus a positive reference. Exercised my options at $15and company is currently at $6.23 and has had almost complete turnover.

Innate. One of my JRTs is super mellow till there’s prey, then the switch is flipped and he’s deadly. My other one is a goof and clown and loves to fetch. He also likes to kill toys but has zero interest in prey bdifferent lines of the same kennel can have very different interests.
