My first job at Jarvik Heart. I worked directly for the infamous Dr. Jarvik "inventor of the artificial heart (not really)".
He is famously awful to work for, and with. We made LVADs, including the CNC machining in Hells Kitchen in Manhattan.
He would steal people's unpaid PTO when they left, and even would sue former employees regarding their non-compete agreements, even when they weren't enforceable. He had friends in high places in the NYC court system so was able to get cases to go further than they should, using it as an intimidation tactic. He cost many former employees their new jobs, and careers.
His legacy- terrible to work with, for, and a real awful person.
