I was President of a company. 7 years ago I quit. I never looked for another job. I felt that being a white male meant that I was not wanted on boards especially since I am a conservative. I just hung up everything and retired at 53.
My last job was a contractor at an Air Force Base, where I had to deal with the early “woke” US Air Force.
As a single and later, married white male, Army vet and straight, I had to walk a careful line. The USAF is cultivating an environment where color and gender are more important than mission accomplishment.
I retired, and never looked back. The Rat Race has got to get along with one less Rat!
I retired at the end of 1994 at age 51.
I was a chip-maker since 1967.
I had a (Unattended) racial sensitivity training meeting still on my calendar when I left.
(I used to say I am in Galt's Gulch, I don't know why I don't anymore.)
I trust I can do the same when I am 53.
66 here and retired
Last month.
Ready for the
“Final Chapter.”
The Good Lord ain’t
Done with me Yet and
I’m sure it’ll be
A Wild Ride!
No one who was actually president of a company says merely "I was President of a company."
He says something like, "I was president, for four years, of a mid-sized power tool manufacturer - the third-largest in the Arkansas tri-state area. Annual revenues: $20 million. Employees: 159."
