Oh well,

Recap:

after WWII, a woman thinks she can sell better than a door to door salesman that came to her house and starts selling product through home parties (since all the women are at home alone and looking for some social interaction)

Meanwhile, a guy uses plastic polymers invented during the war to make bowls (based on the standard paint tin lid design). The above mentioned woman approached him and says if he takes them off the store shelves, she can sell more through home parties.

She trains heaps of ladies up, makes the company millions per year (in the 1950's), builds a nice 'tupperware' resort, then gets sacked for spending too much money.

She had no contract or shares in the tupperware company so left broke. 

Starts her own cosmetics company and tries to recuit thousands of her previous demonstrators. None come (as she had sucessfully brainwashed them into tupperholics), and her company folds after 12 months. The End.

Spewing I missed that one because I used to sell tupperware and knew some of that story. Not the bit about not being appreciated by the company tho. Funny that!! 

I also worked in the fast food industry for a long time.  The company I worked for really appreciated hiring anyone who had been trained by Maccas.

It could be argued that the original/biggest companies are the best but the truth is the bigger they are the less likely they will actually care about the workers who make them what they are.
