I can't believe what I'm reading - a bunch of self-absorbant image-obsessed young adults who think that because they graduated from college they are entitled to a job where they work 40 hours a week with a $65K+ salary...
Granted, I don't work at enterprise, but I hardly think that the place could succeed as a business and yet be the physical manifestation of evil (as you describe it).
You want a reality check? Name jobs that a high-school grad COULDN'T do. I bet you end up with a lot of highly specialized fields not in the basic service sector. The truth is your education proves you are able to tackle problems and have perseverence to see things through (in theory), NOT that you are the creme de le creme of 20somethings and immediately deserve an exec job in the corner office on the 36th floor with a jag, a mansion, and a $300K salary.
The truth is that is you disgruntled ex-ERAC employees obviously didn't take the time to examine your rights as hired labor. You probably just bowed and scraped and groveled at your BM's feet hoping that they would at a whim promote you and absolve you of all work and responsability. When that didn't happen you were so pissed off that you didn't bother to voice your concern to your boss but to come here and blow off all your steam only to crawl back to a job you hated with your tail between your legs. If you were so upset at how you were treated then why didn't you ever confront your boss. What's the worst the could have done? Fire you? You were going to quit anyway and if they fired you you would at least get severance. Or better yet, if they fired you wrongly you could sue them for discrimination. Did you ever stop to think that if you ever took some intiative to improve your station in life that things might improve?
You all agree that you work hard for 2 years then move on to bigger and better things where the rest of the business world respects your credentials, so what's the problem? The job isn't easy, but you prove your worth and use it as a stepping stone. I guarantee there is a lot more potential for advancement there than selling cell phones in a mall.
As for the 'debasement' of your personal image....how dare they ask you to sell your service to client...the humanity! Did you ever stop to think there are people in this country that suck shit out of port-a-johns for a living? You only felt degraded because you degraded yourself. ERAC didn't do that to you - you had an opportunity to overcome a challenge AND YOU LET IT OVERCOME YOU! And now you're here bitching about it.
Your moral character? Can anyone on here tell me exactly how ERAC compromised their moral fiber? By not having exactly the car available that the customer wanted? By making you wash cars? By asking that you reclaim the property of your organization from an individual who stole it? Or did they make it a policy to steal people's wallets and purses? The truth is that you were required to enforce policies and you didn't have the character to do it. Ever stop to think why every other major corporation respects your experience? Probably not, but I'll make it easy for you: ERAC is the same as any other business and they all want the same things in their management personnel.
Well you know what? I'm glad you quit. I'm glad to see that a management training program weeds out the self-serving snot-nosed punks that only think of themselves first and have no idea the kind of personal strength it takes to run an organization and lead people.
