Thanks for actually answering the thread how it was originally intended instead of trying to insult members of the board while at the same time inadvertantly showing how stupid you are.

I actually liked most of the branch managers in my area as well as many of the assistants. Granted not all of them were great managers but were generally good people stuck in a bad situation. Most are gone by now anyway. ERAC never manages to keep the good ones as they eventaully become wise to whole scheme of promotion. It's the ones who either tough it out or are dumb enough to stay around rise to the top, which usually is at the highest level an Area Manager. Of course, tons of ass kissing and fake enthusiasm for the company helps too.
