I am talking 1964
Things did not change much

My dad (and father in law) worked a Lockheed, projects got cancelled and the mad scramble to place their crew, then find themselves a job was common until they retired in the 80's

This is not about Intel.
It is about the modern, Hi Tech era, Hi stress/pressure way of life
