Re: Questions about quitting If you tell your Branch Manager that you plan to quit, you Area Manager will suddenly show up and either take you to lunch (if this month's commission check was good), or s/he will sit you down in the back office to discuss you "career." Actually, forget about lunch as it will most likely happen in the wash bay or office. Your Area Manager and Branch Manager will tell you that no other company offers the opportunities that ERAC does. They will also tell you of countless other employees who were in your shoes and stuck it out only to go on to become Regional Vice Presidents, General Managers, etc. They will also tell you how some of their friends left Enterprise and are really regretting their decision and wish they could come back. They will leave out the part where the people that left are making more money working less hours in much less stressful jobs. They won't mention that you leaving will also hurt their retention numbers and thus their measly paychecks. In summary, they will try to sell you "opportunity" rather than anything really tangible like better pay, less hours, etc. ERAC can't offer anything but the light at the end of the tunnel, the pipe dream that you are the next RVP. It's all smoke and mirrors. If you are adament about quitting, they will usually make you put in your two weeks notice but most likely will let you go that day unless they are really short staffed. Then they may keep you through the weekend to get another Saturday out of you before they cut you loose. Given that you have only worked there for three weeks, you will probably not be given an "Exit Interview" with HR. In fact, they will do all they can to keep you until they realize you really are quitting. Then it will be like you no longer exist to them. A bit cultish if you ask me... |
