state of the art building

I work for a company that is building a " state of the art facility". This "new" building has been in the building stages for 17 plus years. I figure by the time it is finished I will have retired and moved on. Instead of finishing the process, the company does things to make it look good, as if looking good helps the company grow. Inside is a gourmet kitchen, marble floors and grand management offices. In the meantime the production is in a state of ineffeciant  operation that boggles the mind. The many products that are made there, are made on 60 plus year old equipment that is in need of repair. There is a 10 by 14 foot room that has just been completed, after it was started one year ago. There is nothing special about this room. It has air conditioning, vacuum system that is connected to a previous system and power for an old machine. The fact remains that it took one year to finish this room.
In the time it has taken to build this facility, the city has built an entertainment center that has a 13 screen theater, 120 apartments, sports center and several resturants. A large candy company built a distribution center and the golden arches has been torn down and rebuilt in less time than this company was able to build this  "state of the art" facility, which is still not completed. It takes more money to build something if it takes to much time, so aparently the owners have a lot of money to throw around, it would be nice if they would finish the building, pay their employees a decent  wage and benefits.
The operation of the company is extremely poor. Even though I admire the owners on their book smart operation, they don't know didly about how to run it to it's maximum capacity. The owners keep buying smaller operations, at a good price I would imagine, shut it down and move it to the main plant, then expect this old equipment to keep up. They have a warehouse, known as the black hole, where all this surplus equipment is stored. Once something is stored there it will never be seen again no matter how badly it is needed.
The only good thing I can say is I am glad I have a job, at least for the next couple of years.
