Without the people who actually create the product, no one else's
job would really matter would it?
Manufacturing makes the product, logistics makes it worth something
At this point, everyone is reliant on everyone else. I'd be useless without manufacturing/research, but they'd be wasting absurd amounts
of time and energy without proper spreadsheets and automation
I do my job, they do theirs, and we all benefit.
You are correct in the scheme of things of course, but I stand by
what I said. You can't put the chicken before the egg. Without the
product being made in the first place, the logistics and the rest of
the chain would not be needed.
I don't mean that in the manufacturing environment that logistics
and everything else is not needed, just that the actual people
creating the product are just as important as the rest. If I
understand you correctly - that was also your point.
Thanks!

Ya, If you call a company to check on employment, they'll verify the pers worked there. I had one manager that told people to never list his home number for a reference. A guy that left with short notice used our manag as a reference, and our manager replied, "ya, I know that drunk. Is he still drinking before work?" The employee in question did not drink, but it's not
a first impression you want to leave an HR person.
well he's an idiot. he can be sued for libel. or someone can just break his
one time i did use a crazy friend at work as a reference and i told him joki
wingnut and i regretted using him as a reference.
now i just use my old subcontractors or i just dont fill it out. it's a stu

I'm curious if an employer would inform a candidate of the name of a person who gives them a bad reference? Let's say it's less humorous, like the guy got fired because he disregarded a safety procedure that could've injured or killed several people?

A product needs demand from a customer base. A product is worth what
the customer is willing to pay for it. Each time some dummy shoots a bunch of people, ammo or magazine prices go up. They eventually go up
to ridiculous prices where most people won't buy them, however the
owners will persist to gouge in the hopes someone will deviate from the norm and have to have an item regardless of cost.

Kind of like when .22lr ammo was almost unobtainable - UNLESS you
wanted to pay 9mm prices.
After 3 years the price came back down. I'm just a plinker, but
ammo was a big problem for me when that was happening. I just
target shoot...
I went dry there as I would not pay what they were asking. Just my experience and opinion.
I get what you are saying though...
