This festival is ripe with entertainment and loaded with events all leading up to the announcement of Little Miss Honey Bee. As the festival rolls around each December, the town of Minco transforms into a honey paradise, overflowing with the purest delights including jars upon jars of Clover Bloom honey, multi-flavored honey sticks, honey baked samples, and honey-themed holiday gift baskets. To this day, Minco is a resilient, progressive community with a proud history and rich heritage that can be seen in the heart of its people and cultural preservations.Įvery year since 1990, the locals celebrate their sweet blessings with a commemorative Honey Festival. Situated along the historic Chisholm Trail, this old railroad town rose as an epicenter of entertainment attracting visitors in the surrounding areas for activities like horse races, polo, corn festivals, fairs, and baseball. I’d like to suggest harsher punishments for off-task behaviors, installation of hidden cameras in bathrooms to deter phone use on the toilet, and perhaps the use of shackles and whips by those in positions of authority.Located in Grady County just forty miles southwest of Oklahoma City, the town of Minco was first established in 1902 and is believed to be named after the great Chickasaw Chief and Warrior, Itawamba Minco. Allowing employees moments of privacy, leisure, and relationship building with colleagues is for weaklings who live in the EU. How is the company expected to thrive when it’s hemorrhaging money coddling its employees like this? - Lax penalties for misbehavior still allow employees to have brief moments of satisfaction throughout the day. Basic PPE such as safety glasses, latex gloves, and earplugs are still freely available for anyone to use.

Salt and pepper packets are still provided in lunch rooms when employees are perfectly capable of bringing them from home.

The bathrooms are still stocked with soap and toilet paper. Won’t someone think of them for once? - Discretionary spending is out of control. Why not abolish EMTO altogether? Paid time off is nothing more than a way to bleed money from the Supreme Leaders that make up the highest levels of management. Employees can still carry 40 hours of EMTO (employee managed time off) from year-to-year. Why bothering to embark on a self-improvement journey when you can simply soothe your insecurities by micromanaging others at a dying manufacturing company? You aren’t interested in self-growth: Does the concept of change terrify you? Are you sad and empty inside, but too stubborn to admit it? Do you take any feedback directed towards you as a personal attack rather than something to learn from? Perfect. You feel your life lacks direction: The soul-sucking nature of Minco’s current work environment (upper management’s obvious contempt for employees, objectively stupid managerial and technical decisions made on a daily basis without consequence, machinery that belongs in a museum of obsolete manufacturing equipment making productivity nearly impossible, a general sense of defeat) will inevitably lead to an existential crisis in which you’ll decide to go back to school, start a small business, write a novel, pick fruit on a farm in New Zealand - anything but work here long term. Observing and analyzing the depths of their ineptitude and complete lack of personal accountability is fascinating. I would encourage you to consider a career at Minco if: - You have an interest in human psychology: Many of the people left working here are so mind-bogglingly incompetent at their jobs and life in general that, in a Darwinian sense, it’s shocking we’ve made it this far as a species.
