In a place where a handshake is still sufficient to the sealing of a dream. We build boats on the premise that no one job is more important than another, in a place where – in ways beyond measure – individual effort and personal integrity have refined the boat-builder’s art for over 50 years of ever more sophisticated design. This team behind Cobalt design and manufacturing still refuses ever to admit that good enough is good enough. People who grew up together in small towns with big ideas. These are rooted people, solid in a work ethic born on farms and ranches, people who understand at first-hand the ways in which personal accountability serves collective achievement. We know their grandparents and their grandkids, second and third generations of families crafting over five decades of Cobalts. We know these people, the neighbors who come every morning to build these boats. It's probably slightly higher now with inflation but it also puts things into perspective.From our beginning in 1968 to this day, Cobalt Boats remains steadfast in a tradition of individualism, the pride of people with extraordinary skills set among a small town’s uncompromising notion of what might be. Btw, a net worth of just $93k+ is enough to put you in the top 10% of the World's wealth. I calmly stated that I worked 2,000 hours a year, my wife worked 2,000 hours a year, and we didn't bring home $80k a year (in the 90's), and you want me to feel sorry for you? From that point on, the guy went out of his way to be nice to me. I just stopped dealing until he stopped talking. If you are interested in joining our team, take a look at our current openings. We pride ourselves on our company culture and hiring the best and brightest. In addition, we treat each customer with respect and listen to their needs. Our owners invest in a Cobalt for many reasons, none the least of which is trouble-free boating. He cussed me for several minutes about taking $80k from him. Cobalt is a growing technology company located in Arlington, VA. 'Drop and run' is the attitude and approach we strive to have every time. I had a bust card up so he split hands and doubled down. One day I was dealing blackjack to him, he was playing $10k on two hands. He would berate the dealers, threaten them, and no one liked dealing to him. We had a guy that used to come in and gamble and play really large sums of money. Plus, I'm amazed of how many people without jobs spend so much time gambling large sums of money.īack on subject of dealing with the public. No one is complaining about Korea shooting off missiles, the invasion of Crimea or the Ukraine, what our allies think of us being weak, Haliburton's contracts, the cost of gas, the cost of food, inflation, shortages, supply chain, the end of the constitution, the threats to democracy, etc. No matter how bad it is during liberal administration, I hear silence. No matter how good it is under a conservative administration, I hear nothing but bitching. This story reminds me of my 28 years of working in a casino. I got several generic responses that cited basic headlines and generalities as shared by the news, but when I pressed them for their personal experiences of how they are personally worse now than 3 years ago, not one single person could give an example of my request. My response to them was, "I'll make you a deal.if you can tell me how YOU personally are worse off because of our current administration, I'll be happy to sit here and take all the bashing you can dish out". I was told how wrong I was and that I didn't understand, blah, blah, blah.How could I be so blind and ignorant to the truth. They asked my opinion and I said, personally, I think there are a lot of policies that are being proposed/implemented that are good for the country, but sometimes the delivery is lacking. They continued to bash the current administration extra hard during one breakfast session for about 20 mins, citing media story after media story-I just listened. Keep in mind these are people that are well educated and compensated and professional about most things. So, the home office of my company is in a very liberal geography and I continually hear the bashings of our current government and how terrible things are for them and that it's the worst time ever in this country's history.
