Do you work for a nationally-recognized company?

[ProfessorArtNerd]

Not now, but I used to teach at a known university. We were in the tournament this year.

[daisyheadmaizie]

Polls like these always make me insanely curious. Lol

[Deleted]

Yep.

[azurely]

Yes I do, and so does my H.

[bigang]

Yes.

[2boys2danes]

Yes... the best charity in the world

[JamaicanPineapple]

Nope. Local non-profit.

[CheshireGrin]

Can I be a special snowflake? I work for a corporation that is the largest of its type in the world, but the average layperson would not recognize the name, LOL.

[SKP82]

Not anymore, but I used to.

[iamgrace]

Yes.

[Deleted]

No. I work for myself and unfortunately I am not nationally known. My H is also self employed, but nearly all of his income comes from a large company that anyone would recognize.

[lintscreen]

Yep

[Deleted]

I'm not internationally known, but I'm known to rock the microphone.

Acme Dildos of North America.

Can you send free samples?

[girlfriday11]

Yes, because we are awesome. But only if you're into that kind of thing, you know.

[glassofsyrah]

My husband and I both do. You are entertained by our companies' products probably almost daily.

[lisdedieu]

Yep, well, sort of. I work at the headquarters for a well-known apparel/underwear brand. The corporate real estate company I work for does their facility services.

Rick's Cabaret, anyone heard of it?

Yep! NOLA is my favorite city and there was one here in Houston as well. I prefer the "World Famous Love Acts" on Bourbon though. Eeewweee! *stabs self in both eyes* 

[CurlyQ284]

My DHs company, yes. My company is nationally known but in our industry. The average person doesn't know our name. Most Americans benefit from our services every time you use your cell phone. You are welcome

[Deleted]

Yep, and we don't just make copiers.

So no, you don't actually work for a nationally known company, you work in the same building as one. Right? lol

I changed it to clarify. We work with their employees directly, just on a different payroll (I believe we are "consultants" in their system).

[tripleshot]

Yes, I work for a very large oil company at a refinery.

[midnightrae]

Yes, for the part-time stock job I just got. And sort-of yes for the chocolate place. West coast, yes. In other states, it depends. We also have a couple stores in other countries.

[Deleted]

They would like to think they are. We are in 29 states but most people have heard of us.

[definitelyO]

DH does. mine - you'd think I worked for the company that used to own us as the names are very similar and theirs is recognizable (a beer company) but my specific company you wouldn't know.

[justsam]

Yes and no. We're the nation's largest company that does what we do. And people are very familiar with the places we run. But no one knows our corporate name. It's well known in our industry, but not to the average person.

[berbles]

You probably haven't heard my company's name, but, as of last year, we're the industry leader. The #2 company (our rival) is located about 10 miles from here.

You've definitely benefited from our products, you just don't know it. We're not much of an end-market producer.

[Deleted]

I'm ... kind of a big deal.
Incidentally, I also have many leatherbound books and my apartment smells like rich mahogany.

[jenna]

Yes.

[HiC]

Internationally, even! (But that was before I had my kid).
