Yes, in the plants like the Chrysler Kokomo transmission plant or the Ypsilanti GM Hydra-Matic plant, those are called " Van Wert donuts" in honor of the Oilite Company's powdered metal plant that made millions of round magnets, even made some in odd sizes for tractors.
I conducted a mgt tng program there in 1982. Great people. They were in the middle of Ohio, "half way between Venedocia and Ottoville, ya can't miss the blinking light!"
The only manufacturing plant I know of that offered employees a 10 x 10 plot for a garden on the front of the company property!
But all those traditions are gone,
unless the PRC's Ministry of Labor offers that deal to the employees of Sintered Metal Factory # 5 in Bongyang or some other place
