Sock Doping
confession
I work at Serotta doing whatever I can to most effectively get frames completed and shipped. Mostly, this month, I push keys, mice, and buttons sending tools whizzing into carbon fiber while hand filing bits of same. It's pretty whiz-bang, green light now, cool.

Ex here, too, three years managing aftermarket sales in Europe for an American component company. Dream job at times, life-changing for sure. Lost my proper Tuscan accent, adesso parlo come un zucchin'.

I'm a buyer-head fitter-product manager-business manager-any thing else the owner doesn't want to or is not good a doing at a top 100 retailer. WAY over educated and under paid :D but happy, I think.
I've had jobs in the "real world" and prefer life on this side of reality, I think.

Ahoy hoy!
Kudos on the Collective BTW, it's good to see more cooperative structures forming in the business.
No Chain
Uhh...I feel like a fraud in the present company but I work in marketing and on the bike shop sales floor for a Bay Area sporting goods discounter. Fun job and a welcome departure from my previous gig.

Chuck Norris is expected to win gold in every swimming competition at the 2008 Beijing Olympics, even though Chuck Norris does not swim. This is because when Chuck Norris enters the water, the water gets out of his way and Chuck Norris simply walks across the pool floor.
