Owner comes out of his office and tells everyone to quit for the day and that we have a meeting to attend. All of us expected it to be a bitch session, turns out to be much better. The owner goes on to say how much he appreciates the hours we've been putting in and the last machine we built blew away the customers and gives us all a shot and the rest of the day off with pay.

That's a good boss.

Super owner, there are not as many of them as there should be.

Glad to see your owner let you off the field for an hour

"last machine we built blew away the customers" Plot twist: they build jet engines.

Probably needed an empty office early to dispose of the bodys.....

Cool boss...
WhateverWhateverIDoWhatIWant
My boss made us waste 15 minutes taking a panoramic picture where it looked like there were 2 of each of us. He's a dick.
MinionsMaster
That's awesome. Props!

Wait, is "blew away the costumers" a good thing?

Blew the customer away eh? Bet I know where Op works https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=qwn912HWem8

What do you build, @Unsupervisedadult?
Unsupervisedadult
Large printing machines and paper slitters heres a video of a machine we built https://youtu.be/fqudDWyi4_c
thatwoodguy
I have friends and relatives who work in related industries. Ever hear of Papertech.ca?
LiamW1337
Now that everyone is intoxicated, you guys have no choice but to stay and work late because you cannot operate your vehicles!! Perfect plan
Czarmorte
Do people normally get intoxicated off one shot of moonshine? Serious question, I don't drink alcohol.
LiamW1337
Well, it'll definitely make them pop hot off a breathalyzer, so it'll definitely count as a DUI
XenoCore
Moonshine is strong, so I would think yes. But I drink a lot so I wouldn't know about the average person.
MilDravin
legit taxed shine won't fuck you, illegal stuff will
vorpalblade82
Is moonshine that common in the states? Seems a lot of people have access to it. Or lots of Imgurians are southern...
PikaChunin
Had a friend of a friend show up at a party with a laundry basket of assorted bottles of moonshine. All flavors and varieties! STRONG AF THO
Unsupervisedadult
Im in Virginia at the moment but grew up in the hills of upstate NY and could find it easily then. I think its a rural thing
Nuanra
Rural people like it, and a few different states have changed laws so it can be publicly sold.
TemetNosce000
I got some friends in my podunk hometown that make it from scratch. I think it's illegal though
JaimeFookinLannister
I'm in Michigan, grocery/liquor stores sell lots of alcohol labeled moonshine in both flavored and unflavored varieties, usually 40-50% ABV
vorpalblade82
Is it homebrew or is moonshine like a type of spirit? I'm English and the government don't really hold with making your own liquor.
JaimeFookinLannister
It's just a mass produced moonshine-like spirit. Selling 'true' moonshine is illegal here but I think it's legal to make in some areas
costlycoastingcoasters
Legal to make for home use in many areas in the states just not "tax free sale"
tmonation
It is illegal, but people in rural areas, (the South) do it. Grocery store moonshine not the real stuff.
bladderinfection
They sell it in grocery stores. They usually keep the alcohol level the same as others (40%), but I know a place that sells Everclear (95%).
wademcgillis
Everclear is banned in Massachusetts.
bladderinfection
Here in California too. The place that sells it is a liquor store in a really bad area that I commute through. Not many pop-in inspections.
TemetNosce000
Yup Mr Boston's sure tastes like it though
djzkay
Easy to find here in Tennessee

Drunk?
Caliburn
A single shot isn't going to make you drunk. It was also a reward for a job well done, I doubt it's a daily occurrence.
MesserAuditore
People quit bisses, not jobs. This boss clearly understands that. I want a boss like that.
powershit
Damn straight
aaronbgraham
Damn bisses, ruining everything.
MesserAuditore
Fuck my life dude. I hate this goddamn phone. What the fuck is a biss? Why would it autocorrect to that?
aaronbgraham
I just imagined you hitting i by accident haha.
MesserAuditore
No, typing it out again it tried to autocorrect it. It also corrects "if" to "of" and vice versa whenever the fuck it wants too.
RockImgr
That's awesome to hear! What do you guys do @op?
Unsupervisedadult
We manufacture big ass printing presses and paper slitters
RandomAbscessMemories
Marvelous. If you'd told me 20 years ago that we'd have machines that can print asses...
obsidiancolossus
Where do I sign up
ilovedogsbutmineisanasshole
Is a paper slittler like a shredder? I legit don't know
Unsupervisedadult
Heres a video of one we built https://youtu.be/fqudDWyi4_c
ilovedogsbutmineisanasshole
Aaaah I see, so it basically takes one wide sheet and makes it into multiple thinner sheets
Unsupervisedadult
More or less. I think its normally done after printing but I don't really know. I just machine the parts for it lol
Unsupervisedadult
Update: we have free run to stay and work on any personal work or side jobs we have

Y'know, with your username, I'm not so sure that's a good idea.

A southern co-worker of mine brought some peach moon shine into my work too, that was the smoothest most lovely booze.
Spreenis
I also work for a semi-small company that is managed very well. It's currently beer O'clock and I am partaking.
obsidiancolossus
Where do you work and are they hiring
borgmaster
Jokes on him my current personal side project is to streamline my automated computer deployments.

Keep working for these people. They know how to business, without turning into Trump.
WellWellWellLookWhoItIs
Maybe shoulda done that pre-moonshine.
SirSnickleFritz
He hiring?
FrancoUnAmerican
Nice boss. You're lucky. I've tried small business but here everyone thinks they gave the absolute truth. Now I'm a # in a big it Corp.
BitMaker
Sorry, what do you mean by "here everyone thinks they gave the absolute truth"?
FrancoUnAmerican
Sorry, I mean that they think they have the absolute truth. :) it made more sens like that.
IDontKnowWhatToDoAnymoreAndImTired
THIS is how you run a small business. None of that "No, we can't afford healthcare or personal days" bullshit.

We do that every Monday afternoon. Hundreds of it job openings, paid relocating.

Peach. Fucking. Brandy. I like your boss
ghost650
Not sure if that's a good idea after the moonshine but I'm not sure what kind of work you're doing so... cool, maybe?

One shot, I think they will live.

Hopefully not operating any heavy equipment/cutting tools under the influence of alcohol!
usersubbordercontrol
What state are you in? Just curious how common peach moonshine is
feeltheice
Midwest has a few large sellers of moonshine. It's all shit though. I like my uncles home brew 10000 better. Buddy Mike makes a good 1/2
feeltheice
Apple pie moonshine. That stuff is awesome. Even use it as fire starter
usersubbordercontrol
It's sold on East coast too. Neat
Zanthy
Solid man. Smart management
Unsupervisedadult
He's a great boss and a nice guy. He knows how to motivate us that's for sure
troublecliff
This is something so many employers don't seem to get. Maintaining morale is SO simple!
maito
It all begins with trust, and that's not easy to maintain.
thelittletrainthatcanteven
And from the sounds of it a good boss knows when to give shit and how to deliver it.
noctynight
Does he know when to make the tough calls, like letting someone go for a bad job?
Unsupervisedadult
Yes he does. But its a really small operation and we all carry our weight. And get along. We have simular hobbies and interests
AlwaysAGenBehind
That's awesome. It makes me happy to know you enjoy your work and coworkers!

upvotehypnotoad
What kind of machine did you guys build?
SlightlyDodgy
A machine that forces other people to do what you think they should do.
Unsupervisedadult
Its a paper slitter like this one https://youtu.be/fqudDWyi4_c
ImAnActionBirb
It must be so satisfying to break apart those rolls with that mallet. Hngh.
Sluggingforward
Congrats on the tight slits
evbrew
So it makes raffle ticket rolls?
upvotehypnotoad
Apologies for my ignorance, but what are the slit rolls used for? Seems like a big deal to use that much.
Unsupervisedadult
I know one machine we made printed and slit popcorn bags. Specifically orville whatever it is.
Unsupervisedadult
I don't know what they are used for. I just machine all the parts for the slitters. Other than testing I've never seen what they're for
stresstwig
that was cool to watch. :D
PAGlNGDRFAGGOT
I do state contracts, and we just bought one of those for $140k, that's crazy
margatesands
do you design and build them? how long does it take? you know, you should make a post about you work, i think i'd be very interesting...
Unsupervisedadult
We also make multicolored printers that are amazing. I don't know how much I can really post about the manufacturing process
Unsupervisedadult
Every machine is custom designed and manufactured in house and they take roughly 6 months to build and that one sold for about 210k
neogothcowboy
You don't do any business with paper mill located in central Pennsylvania do you?
Unsupervisedadult
I don't have any idea to be honest
yesIam7foottallpleasestopaskingme
That's awesome! I can use that at my job every day!
DontWorryYouCanTrustMe
That was actually a fascinating video, I watched the whole thing. The inflatable cuff is the most ingenious part of the design imo.
Unsupervisedadult
There's more machines on their youtube channel. The video doesn't do the speeds justice. 2200 ft per minute is ridiculously fast
