I have to say I was only teasing about lunch. That sounds like a decent company to work for.
I learned almost too late to watch what the front end is doing as I was not in management. At least they are willing to parade around in front of you and look you in the eye. Just watch out if one of their arms comes up around on top of your shoulder. It might be a distraction for a weenie without it being lunchtime.
I was lucky twice. One I got “some” retirement money from even though they tried their best to slough their responsibility by subdividing portions of the company and selling them overseas and in the states some 15 years after I left. It was that “Fleecing of America” maneuver of the late eighties and through the nineties!
The next place I quit before they sold out to a “getter” chemical company in France. We made specialized “clean” valves for the electronic chip making industry along with vacuum jacketed transfer lines for cryogenic gases and fuels.
They had profit sharing plan there and two years later I only $300 in my account. I found out from efforts of exploration in “trash bin” paperwork, the owner was renting most of the special equipment we used through a lease from his own sons!
That extra profit sharing money was going to their college education. I was lucky back then as those shredder companies were not as popular as they are today!
I liked the Navy but would only do it again as a Warrant Officer. Middle management!
Same goes for the streets. I want to be high on the fence but not at the top. You can fall from it for not having place to grip and run along! I learned that from the fourth monkey you do not see with the other three. I picture or color him in my book “looking beyond the horizon.”
I am sure times have changed with all the number crunching going on so,
Please, have some snow cream, for me too! (:)~:
