  Just when you thought swimming laps couldn't get any more boring, you learn about stationary lap pools.

      Imagine how the swimmer feels when he finds out the lifeguard is really trying to help him drown.

How about a new category? The best companies to work for and get out of?
Top of the list: General Electric
Perks: Understaffed, sweat shop environment, disconnected and impotent management, below market pay, dwindling benefits, weak CEO, etc.
But they do have cool commercials.

interestingly the only rochester based company is Wegmans which is probably the greatest grocery store in the usa. Its interesting is all the employees you encounter are always so happy to be there.

Whole Foods at #5... I believe it. Every time I go in to the Union Square NYC branch (great beer!) the cashiers seem so happy. I always thought it was something in the water. :)
