> Ms. Evans, who was a Kodak janitor in the early 1980s before her rise to executive there and at other leading firms like Microsoft and Hewlett-Packard, recalls a different experience.
> “One thing about Eastman Kodak is they believed in their people,” said Ms. Evans, now chief information officer at Mercer, the human resources consulting giant. “It was like a family. You always had someone willing to help open a door if you demonstrated that you were willing to commit to growing your skills and become an asset that was valuable for the company.”
I was reading an article that they were scaling down all of their color film production, and then the mini-renisance happened right during/after Covid and they have been having a hard time scaling back up ever since.
Bankruptcy is not the same as going out of business. They restructured and still produce color film and slide film, but not Kodachrome. It was a very sophisticated film which could only be processed in a specialized lab and they couldn't stay open with low film demand.
