Which company employs players in Splatoon 3's Salmon Run Next Wave?

The company that employs players in Splatoon 3’s Salmon Run Next Wave is Grizzco Industries.

Grizzco is run by Mr. Grizz, the bear-like executive who recruits teams of four to battle Salmonids, collect Golden Eggs, and meet each shift’s quota. The company presents this dangerous work as a cheerful part-time job, even though its employees face waves of hostile enemies and powerful Boss Salmonids.

Salmon Run Next Wave expands the mode introduced in Splatoon 2. A normal shift has three waves, while a successful team may encounter a fourth Xtrawave featuring a King Salmonid. Splatoon 3 also adds Big Run events, in which Salmonids invade regular multiplayer stages, and Eggstra Work, a competitive fixed five-wave challenge.

A common mix-up is confusing Grizzco with the Salmonid enemies or with the cities where the games take place. Grizzco is the employer and organizer; Salmon Run is the job, and the players are its temporary workers.
