No doubt...I enjoyed working there when I did, too bad the company was wholesale dismantled.

Wrong Jordan-- we had "Chainsaw Jordan", who sold off the most profitable divisions, like Thermoking.

Jordan was a lot more interested in CBS than he was in Westinghouse - he started carving off chunks of the company so he could afford to spin around in the chairman's chair at CBS.

There was a great series of articles in one of the Pittsburgh papers years ago called "Who Killed Westinghouse?" - looked at each of the last several CEO's and the mistakes they made that killed what was once a great company.
