"Yeah, but you were prolly one of those stodgy dinosaurs that were holding back all those up-and-coming MBAs that were going to re-write how business was done."

I retired right after that at the end of 1994.

I was a chip-maker.

So was I.
I was one of those 50+ year olds that was a drag on the company’s progress so those MBAs made me an offer I couldn’t refuse. Of curse it wouldn’t take effect for two years. By that time, the company had been sold, those MBAs were on the street and the new management was making very good offers to get us to stay for a few more years. If I could have, I would have stayed, but family obligations overruled.

At that time I was a Telco cable splicer.
