Spacely or Cogswell, who would you rather work for?

Personally, I think I'd choose Cogswell, because all things considered he's the more content of the two. Sure he's sleazy, nosey, and greasy, but he's an otherwise decent man and pretty laid back, whereas Spacely screams his head off and throws fits all the time. He's a nasty person judging by the way he treats George.

So I would rather work at Cogswell Cogs than Spacely Sprocketts. Sure the latter seems laden with thrilling adventure, derring-do, and smart-a** robots, I'd still go with the more laid-back boss.

"I'd rather work for Cogswell. He probably pays better than Spacely."

I'm sure he does, since every time he has a plan, he has a number of people working on it. With Spacely, he only has Jetson. You have to wonder why George never considered going to Cogswell...apparently it has to do with loyalty and even though Spacely is the meanest boss in the galaxy, George still has respect for him--- this point was addressed in The Jetsons Meet The Flintstones. Remember, when Fred worked for Spacely and Barney for Cogswell? Amazing since Cogswell looks so much like Mr. Slate.

"I think George and Rudy are Spacely's only employees, and Rudy's a computer."

Right. Often times we see other employees at Spacely's, but what do they do?

Spacely is a paranoid schizophrenic with a rage disorder.

I'd work for Cogswell, no doubt about it.

Lol. Actually both Spaceley and Cogswell look like Slate. The original Slate looks like Spaceley. Flintstone also had a second boss, who's original name is Mr. Rockhead and he looks like Cogswell and later this man became known as Mr. Slate. Go watch the episodes if you don't believe me.

Some sources list Cogswell as a descendant of that man.

I would not want to work for Spaceley. Both of them are dishonest but Cogswell things are run much more smoothly. Spaceley's stress is caused by being run into the ground (lol) by Cogswell, as well as not even in charge of his own company. (Spaceley Sprockets has a board of directors but I think Cogswell does as well. Spaceley's board of directors are a lot meaner however.)

Meanwhile Cogswell is a very large company with many more employees. There is probably not any vacancies for George Jetson, forcing him to work for a lower quality company. But look at the George Jetson counterparts at Cogswell Cogs. There is more than one.
