That Kodak company dotted every i and crossed every t. Never saw another like it. Seems like they left no stone unturned.
I'll bet a drunkard or a doper or an unstable personality was out the door in a New York minute.

Acutally NO. If your work was unaffected you were not dismissed. Of course, if you were one of the above, it was hard, very hard to achieve a good work record.

Everyone was given a chance.

I'd liked to have toured them 20 or more years ago. Now, it would probably make me sad. How about in the 60's and 70's? I bet that place was really cooking--hitting on all 8 cylinders.

Yeah, we had million dollar labs, I can tell you that. All the best of the best. And the activity was very high with lots of hard work going on 24/5 in KRL and 24/7 in the plants.

About 2000 in Rochester, and more in England and France. But IDK what the divide was between Chemist, Physicist, and Tech was. There was a Junior and Senior Staff, and then a small group of Super Seniors and one Chief Scientist on that staff. About 10% were Senior members. Techs could be promoted to Junior or Senior Staff through merit or additional schooling. So, it was a very "equal" place based on merit and achievement.
