[null and void]

I worked for 23 years for a non-unionized machinery builder. Our machines were sold all over the world.

What happened?

[entropy12]

In Illinois. Resigned from my greatly rewarding job there because I pioneered use of computers in manufacturing and engineering in that outfit. I was offered a cushy job by a government funded outfit with very cushy benefits and I could not resist. It was boring, not challenging, no pioneering accomplishments there, but was a good way to slide into retirement :-)
