 The problem with you guys
hey there. Interesting site. I used to work with ERAC (one of the originals) in Ireland and am amazed the company has not weeded most of you guys out and sent you on your way.
I heard Mike Hawkins left and GOC is now in charge. Though he wouldnt be my choice to lead the company forward, he always seemed a likeable chap and 100% commited to the Job. Where has it gone wrong?
I blame the recruitment department for hiring you lot. They have sadly tried to hire people and mold them into ERAC's way of thinking. That will rarely work in Ireland. Most of you guys have poor work ethic, and god help anyone who tries to bring you around to their way of thinking if it doesn't sit nicely into your ideal of life.
ERAC has a near a perfect culture. Work hard, play hard, dedicate yourself to your job, commit to it 100% every day and they will reward you. I see people posting on hear moaning about working hours. What did you think you were signing up to? The rental industry can't accomodate a 9 to 5 job. In fact, most industries can't!!! Those people who post "I left, now I work less hours and earn more money" make me laugh. They fail to tell you what they will be earning 3 years from now or what career aspirations they have. I will tell you why. They have none. They are the people at the back of the promotion queue in those companies. They are nothing more than an employee number when it comes to the people who run what ever company they work in.
Don't get me wrong. Everyone has different career aspirations. I have no doubt you can earn an OK wage licking stamps from 9 till 5. Take a good look at yourself and ask what your aspirations are. If it is a 9 to 5 job leave and stop bad mouthing a company that pays your bills. Believe me if you set a career goal, dedicate yourself to achieving it, commit 100% everyday to promoting the company internally and externally they will look after you. Why stay and fight a loosing cause if you are not happy. ERAC is one of the most successful companies in the world. Do you think the likes of you guys will change that?
I happen to have left to pursue a career in my field of studies. I earn more but do not work less hours. You see I have career aspirations. ERAC wants career minded people not people who will short sell the company when given the opportunity. Its your choice. Get out or get on with it. You have a fantastic opportunity if you change your mindset. Don't let the stamp lickers of this world hold you back  |
