Each one managed by a wacky boss such as a circus clown or medieval king who motivate their hard working employees by pounding the table and yelling. Just like your boss. Or your parents. Or spouse. We call this "maximising profits through positive motivation". And the workers? There's a long queue of eager employees at the factory gates waiting to be employed by you! As their boss you get to train them and reward the best performers with prices like golden medals and the much sought after Employee of the Day award! Oh, and did we mention the surprise boxes and loot? Boost productivity by giving your factory bosses a cup of coffee or an energy drink. That really gets them going! How about some motivational 80's disco music? Your employees will dance and jam and make even more while at it! Become the biggest boss and MAKE MORE! !
