      People create their own c.v while working.
      If the Worker shows promise or trainability the employer will up skill them and create a better work coverage in case a more advanced employee takes leave. It's all about production and the availability of a skilled crew. Management makes sure of this to keep a quality product rolling out the door. Nothing else.
      Bosses take courses on people skills, management skills all kinds of skills but the main reason is to keep themselves off the floor so they can focus on quality and maintaining clients.

Employees can leave anytime, they can file a resignation in case they find a better opportunity, the greener pastures as they say. They are not bound to work for one company for a long time, even contracts end. But these people stayed and became loyal to the employer for almost/equal to 4 DECADES, in which I suppose, he treats them well in terms of salary and benefits.

    Fresh sea urchin is the best. I live near the beach, and when it's low tide we just bring cooked rice and sit on the beach while eating it. We open the sea urchins, take out its meat, and eat it straight in our mouths. Sometimes we add vinegar and pepper.

    I go on a mini scuba dive every year in the monterey bay aquarium, for kids with mental disabilities, for context I have aspergers, and I saw a sea urchin and got to feel it (i was 11)
    See, the urchins don’t just sit in place, they move, slowly, and they use their spines and tiny tube feet (which move) to push pieces of sand down the line, to the star-shaped mouth on the bottom. Sand dollars are urchins, and they feed the same way.
    Circular urchins also feed on algae (as said below)

      Only a few trays of premiums come from 1000 pounds of urchins. So yes, the profit margin on premiums is going to be something crazy like 1000%, but on their normal products the profit margin is going to be much lower, and probably even negative for the #3 grade. I would bet that their profit margin is somewhere around 50% on average.
