Family-run firm Nominit in Värnamo, southern Sweden, will be paying out 114 million kronor ($16.3 million) to their current and former employees in a gesture of goodwill.

“It is fabulous. But you’d think that the whole work shop would be running around completely crazy and spraying Champagne. But it is really business as usual. Both feet on the ground in other words, even though of course we are happy,” said production manager Christer Lilja to news agency TT.

Lilja has worked for the company for 19 years and is one of the beneficiaries of the goodwill from the two company owners, siblings Inger and Sixten Norhed.

The company was founded in 1937 and is the two founders and owners have no heirs to their fortune. The company, which currently has about 50 employees, manufactures rivets and has a turnover of about 100 million kronor, of which 60 comes from export.

We could make a chain of goodwill from millions of small gestures that spans the earth today.

If we only wanted to.

5. Could you imagine an American company doing that? Say like the Waltons?

That would alleviate so much misery.
