Its funny how an award winning firm like Tupperware has this history of enshrining their designers and on the other hand, firing their engineers left and right. Ask anyone who has worked in their studios, the spirit of innovation is crushed by the mentality that you might be next. Innovation takes place not only in design, but in executing the design, marketing and supporting the customer experience. So little respect is given to the employees, I’m shocked they are smiling in the photos. Again, ask anyone who has worked in their “design studios.” Sad sad state of affairs. Earl Tupper would roll in his grave.
