My AM was going thru one of my desk drawers at the dealership and found a job ad paper. He comes up to me and says hey whats this? and throws the paper down. Before you know it Im in the office with him and my city mngr. City asks me, what do you really want to do whats your dream job? I told him I wanted to raise horses. He said why would you want to do that?! I said because horses dont talk back.
He went on to tell me about how he laughs out loud due to joy when he sees how much his paycheck is. My AM was over in the corner like a toad just smiling, like he was absorbing all the glory and wisdom the city mngr was spewing out. Yeah, the city mngr was canned 6 months later.
I got an interview and bought a new suit. I made the mistake of telling the owner of the store that I worked for erac and I had an interview. When I got back from interviewing, the next day my AM asked if my new suit got me the job. The owner of the shop knew my AM from an erac golf outing and told him I had been there! Of course this also meant another talk about "rough patch", and "night is darkest before the dawn" blah, blah, bs,bs, and more bs.
Basically, erac does watch you.
