In my youth it took about half an hour for the workers to get out at the end of the workday because they had so many workers at the Schenectady plant.

They once employed 30,000 workers, the current population is 65,000. Secretaries enrolled in their savings and security program retired with close to a million dollars - it was a gift to the capital district. New York and Schenectady killed the Golden Goose.

I knew a guy who worked in the shop at GE Research his whole career and accumulated nearly a million dollars of GE stock over several decades.
