	For all its outward success, its inner workings revealed a darker side. Employees were severely maltreated, watched by overseers who pushed them to their limit working fourteen-hour shifts in order to keep production levels high, thereby maintaining the company's image as a major business. Rations were given out at infrequent intervals, doubled on some days and held back on others, in an effort to motivate workers to maximize production time. Machine accidents were common, leading to such injuries as severe burns and missing fingers, and fault was always directed at the operators, who were told to bear any pain in silence lest they risk unemployment or having their wages docked.<ref name="Database" />		For all its outward success, its inner workings revealed a darker side.
