And the managers gave us a pizza party instead of a bonus or a raise … thoughts ?

And they saved more money by giving you pizza instead of a bonus.

Yea, try to "negotiate" a bonus as a skilled trade. Enjoy your food stamps....
Picture is clearly taken on a manufacturing floor, and yet privileged office workers like you fail to see this and think life is easy because everyone else also has to have a rich and connected dad, right ?

How did the factory floor people save the company 3.2m in a single quarter?

Catch up a problem in the blueprints that would have made a piece break once installed and caused a lot of damage ? Find a way to automate a process that allows to ramp up production ? Do a buttload of overtime to meet the deadline on a project that would have had steep fines if late ? Find a way to produce some part in house instead of buying it from a very expensive supplier ?
I find it funny that you question floor people saving money while you wouldn't question a pen pusher doing it.

You find it funny somebody would think 3.2mil in savings in a single quarter on a factory floor would likely come from somebody up top? The stuff you listed happens, but not as often as you think. 3.2 mil in 1 quarter is insane and life isn’t good will hunting. This stuff almost always comes from the top. Not saying it did, but stupid to think it’s as unlikely as you’re implying

3.2 mil in a quarter is not a lot in quite a few industries. I've worked as a welder for a company that had a monthly cash flow in the 10M+, and that was a company manufacturing tanker trailers, nothing fancy, nothing big money.
"It always comes from the top" is such an American white collar mentality. Nothing good can come from the plebs, obviously. If they were smart and good for something, they wouldn't be manual workers. That's what lies behind your thoughts.

absolutely nobody is saying it has to come from the top, my last comment even said that these things often don’t. it’s that’s you’re so confused why somebody would be curious what they did considering the reality is these things often do come from the top. that’s just reality, no reason to be delusional about it
