Did a bunch of testing and discovered that certain laser wavelengths were better for air defence applications than others. My work was heralded for a few months by my employer and then word came from top managment to bury it. Issue was that all the companies air defense systems in the field worked with a not so effective laser wavelength and these findings would just put a wrench in the works. Data storage or national defense it is all about moving product. I guess in a capatalist society there is significant worth to product features or foo-foo that have the utility of improving or maintining sales levels. .... and so it goes. Hope you are well Lee.

Now I'm imagining a workplace free of foo-foo purveyors and defenders; pride in the products and not just the marketing spiel. Could honesty be a competitive advantage? Thanks for the insights, Lee.

Could honesty be a competitive advantage?
