All of Aptim’s employees have Velcro logo tags on their shirt because they change names so often.

Louisiana needs to learn how to code before it's too late.

They don't seem to be nearly as big of an employer in this area as Shaw was either. I knew a lot of people who worked for Shaw. I know one that works for Aptim.

Thought Smoothie King was purchased by a Korean man/company. Regardless, product is crap now. Quality has gone down since the Kenna days.

Just the local office I'd imagine? Jacobs is a huge company.

Worley is probably bigger. They bought all of their industrial practice more or less.

You either play by the elected officials rules or GTFO.

Nothing is holding us back more than those sorry fricks we elect to "represent" us.

Worley bought the Energy, Chemicals, and Resources divisions of Jacobs. This included their Oil & Gas offices in Metairie, Baton Rouge, Houston, and Calgary along with others spread across the globe.

Jacobs wasn’t very big. Worley taking over has caused me many of headaches.

Edited to add.

Jacobs was bigger than I thought after reading the post above mine.

I just noticed that the signs changed on the building in BR. I'd never heard of Worley. My pops worked in that industry though.

Buccees was started by a native LA. Not sure if he ever had any sort of store in LA < TX.

Don't think he the movex the business to TX as did others. Interesting piece of business history though.
