My father worked for Haloid for a bit. Worked there while also attending NYU. Layer he moved to Kodak and in 1967 our family moved to Rochester. My father retired from Kodak in 1985.

Xerox and Kodak were both amazing companies, and created a comfortable middle or upper middle class lifestyle for many thousands of Rochesterians.

As someone who has lived in Rochester recently, I am incredibly curious to hear from folks who saw the peak of the city. I often hear of Kodak and Xerox providing hefty bonuses which also made the local businesses offer deals then for a better turnover. Would love to hear more from you.

The main "hefty bonus" was treating employees exceptionally well and providing a lifetime of employment. And for us kids, it was an idyllic environment in which to grow up.
