I once applied for a job years ago, that was titled "Technology Advancement." It was a very braod title. I went to the interview, filled out the application, was in a suit, looked real nice, and I felt good. There were 6 young people leaving the office when I arrived, and 6 sitting inside with me, so there was quite a bit of selction/recruiting go on. I interviewed with some recruiter. They asked me to stay and go out with some salesman, and (That moment I became aware that this was a cold calling contract company.) I went with the person, and he really really realy liked me. I told him about my aspirations which were about sustainability and weren't even about the company, and I got tired after a while from walking in dress shoes around a village. I saw everyone when we returned from our sales and felt alright if I didn't get the job after that point. That evening, I got a call wanting a second interview, I don't know why I bothered (my striving ethic is always have the best intention, and put forth everything into my effort, and I'll work while making some reward), so I went and I interviewed with the branch manager the next day. She liked me and hired me. We immediately went into a conference room and the entire sales team was in there doing Abstract marches, anyway that through me off, I felt that I could be more effective by actually doing work rather than marches (HAHA). They had me train with another manager (Like you said Rusty a manager for everything.) The manager was a happy person. (That's another thing I look for; happiness. It's always good and a good sign to see people in happy moods when they work. ) The experience kept looking more and more grim, as I noticed how akward people were to me. Someone confronted me that I was eating Matzah Ball Soup, and they never saw anyone eat matzah ball soup before. That was retarded to me, not that they never saw someone eating matzah ball soup, but that they said they never saw anyone eat matzah ball soup to me.) It was wierd, I wanted out of it, and then it was the weekend. and Sunday night I got a call from the first salesman who took me around while he cold called and he basically said I didn't have a good enough civil record (Because I had a underage drinking summons from high school graduation Which I was under the impression got taken down to a slight infracture) and that even though they "Really Really Didnt want to let me go" Their sponsor "Verizon" didn't allow that. So I was fired. So I can't complain that I personalyl was let go, but I couldn't be the only person that got through the system ( I didn't know there was a system I was trying to get through, until my last class pointed out Nexis Lexis to me.) to a point. Even though I didn't care, I was disheartened that when they hire someone they don't even stand by their choice of who they recruited. I did everything right, with everything. I remember on this particular application they didn't request to know if I had a previous crime or misdemeanor. So somewhere across theirspectrum that companys human capital failed to maintain/preserve the integrity. To this day I don't know what the ethical liability was/is of having to let someone go a week after you hired someone, because their sponsor has, plane a simply a bias against you.

People's safety must be provided through a 6 sigma mechanism. The closer number the safety policy gets to 0 defects per million, the more integral the operation is and can be more effectively progressive/clan controlling like, without bureaucracies one day wanting to just do without all the human labor and implement automated manufacturing robotic labor.
