I am a manager of the engineering and fabrication departments at an aerospace/defense company.
Raytheon boi.
I have had some mild interaction with them.
Does that make me part of the military industrial complex
I used to work for some lockheed subs, I think we're all part of it at some point.

Bumping, because I just started a new job with Collins Areospace, which is now a subsidiary of Raytheon.

I utilize a multiplicity of Collins products; if you could work on improving their customer service hotlines, I would be most appreciative.

I don't work for Collins, but I work with a few former Collins engineers. Fascinating bunch of folks.

I’ve been working as a scientist for engineering firms for the past few years and can confirm that engineers in general are a “fascinating bunch”
they’re either egotistical cretins or the nicest people you’ll ever meet, there’s no in-between. Throw a little bit of social awkwardness in for good measure and you have some weird company parties.
I should’ve been a mailman.

I'd say that checks out.

Tell us what you do for a living. I am a front end cashier at Walmart. So, I get to ring up customers in their PJs and wonder why they do things like spin my bags while I am trying to load them. It's an adventure for sure.
Looking back on this, I could say a lot more. I also get the opportunity to watch other departments like garden center and electronics. I also fix displays, push carts, and run merchandise.
