The Last Unicorn
As frustrated as I can get with Opposite of Dog, it’s a pretty sweet job.
We are the last great American engineering and manufacturing company.
We are making assloads of money, While everyone else is loosing money.
Harley Davidson is another American manufacturing success, but they’ve survived because of a legacy and cult following, not necessarily on the merits of their product.
People buy our shit because it’s better than everyone else’s, and we stand by it. 100 Chinese can’t make a D6 in a garage that is better than the original.
I was watching CNN a few days ago and they said that “top performers” at companies were getting an average of 4.7% raises in this tight economy. I got above that with a slightly above average performance. Our top performers get more than double that raise.
I’ve questioned myself if it was the right decision to work for this company, but the way things are right now for most people, it was a pretty good call.

I live next to a guy who is at the big meow and he agrees that its a good place to be right now. Though he says when the economy levels out he is most likely gone. For him the big meow never had ethics and now that he is on the inside he feels its worse than he had thought from the outside looking in.
