Mike, now you're mirroring me...
P.S. President/CEO/owner + his brother constantly talked abt Mercedes cars...finally both got them, yes we may say "deservingly so" & in fact better be done earleir in life, but just saying... other people in this endless "enterprise" got fleeced.
Although we must separate Business from Human/person. As a human, Fawad did AMAZING things - not short of "spectacular", e.g I got a Free Condo/house in a gated community, w/upscale neighbors, pool, gold course, parks, close to FireIsland beaches... 2 storeys, all to myself, it was insanity for 9 or so months, he even paid my gigantic gas/heating bill that unusually cold winter when I wasNOT aware of the old system terrible inefficiency/(it consumed a ton of heating gas, despite modest temperature setting!, so when summer arrived & shutdown AC out fo fear or causing another high bill)
He did Jobs Reference for me, tho I got betetr from other/longer term bosses but still he did as Presiednt of internationally recognized Amplitech it was important.
He did whatever... and yet, he did damagign actions also.
As any advanced/intelligent person, they're complex beings, an utterly extreme case of which would be a classic story of "Mr Jecklyl & Mr Hyde", now Fawad isn't that, of course, Iam just saying... he is an amazing human, but in business he did stuff that alienated not only me but also a number of others.
The day I stormed out of office, THIRD(3d) TIME in 9 1/2 Years, was my last (3d) quitting, after previous day he pushed obsolete 1980's cr*p circuits onto me to design a Sequencer/Biaser for specific transitor.FET structures that would benefit from stopping bein self-biased, anyway, the circuits he unearyhed from ancient memory I fought against & he kept slapping on my back(spine) & then his brother pulled LAN Network cable from my work computer broke important/lengthy process... that was the last straw.
Funny how he always claimed people "were "fired"", but they QuIT, of course "Quit" is a terrible word when associated w/any such busienss, better say "I fired them", ohh no, you didNOT :) They fired you...
And yet again, it was such/life-altering Learnign experience, that I credit AmpliTech & its owner w/pushign forward my career... tho Years ther were slower than mere 6 MONTHs contract at L3 Miteq... at Miteq pace was BREATH-TAKING, I was learning gobbles & gobbles of engineering & human experience & interacted w/people who might even be callwd geniuses... there were several at Miteq, my boss there was a devastatingly smart & humane guy born in Pakistan... Both miteq & AmpliTech were historic stages in my life... Not to mention "feel-good" life outside work, on LongIsland NY... that ended w/Hurricane Sandy(?), subsequent mold, Lyme Ticks & displeasure w/rainy climate, besides profession, motivated me to move to south.California
God bless Fawad Maqbool, his bro Mick Maqbool, Shaf, & others... I wrote this today dueto stock plunged (to 52.week's low) today & NO I don't feel "so be it" b/c I no longer feel Disgruntlement. It's OK. I became older & mellower
