It really is a crazy place to work. If you got laid off, it would be very easy to find another job. I've never seen so many companies in one location and the general area.

Even in the 70s and 80s when I lived there running printing presses I could tell my boss to shove this job up his ass and by noon tomorrow I could have my choice of three jobs.
When I wanted a raise sometimes I would secure another job at the pay rate I wanted to be raised to and tell my boss "On Monday I will be making $x per hour. It's up to you whether I will be doing it here or somewhere else."
Those were the days.
