Manufacturing other folks stuff, a good portion for Europe and Asian markets forces one to work in both systems.  Like a second language it becomes quite natural.  Being out of it a year now, it becomes more of a chore.

Did you move ?

Several times.  Shop closed, left us owed $300k in unpaid salary, $6k for me!

Decided I was done dealing with over educated asshat managers, applied for cheap Veteran/Ol folks housing and got right in! 

When the economy opens back up, I’ll be back at the gun counter at our local Cabela’s.  I’m high risk so I’m collecting unemployment with the additional $600 from Uncle Sam!

I’m filling up my mattress for a rainy day!

That was one thing about Thompson Center. The pay sucked, but employee discount was 50% on anything they made I forget what is was on other branded stuff but it was less.
Great insurance too, my first heart attack only cost me $100 out of pocket on a $65,000 bill.

My wife works at the shop that used to house Cabot Guns. When she first started there they had a ridiculously cheap employee purchase price on them. Unfortunately we couldn’t afford one at the time.  Now they’re made over in Indiana and that ship has sailed. Oh well, at least I got a Cabot t-shirt.
