GP32admin:

You must love being a customer service rep with a college degree. Will you clean my car one day? More power to you. You wrote about one of those ERAC urban legends. Now how about some facts about how crappy ERAC really does treat it's employees:

1. My first months on the job, my buddy in GP32 loss control received a fat check due to ERAC losing a class action suit for cheating it's employees out of hard-earned money. It must've been a rough year for the Taylor's. They suffered barely making 8 figures.

2. As a BM, ERAC, surprise, was in another class action suit. This time it was for cheating assistant managers on well-deserved OT pay. Every ass. man. in the region had to attend an emergency meeting to sign a form saying they would not join in the suit. My assistant called me from the meeting, telling me what was happening. I told him do what he feels is right. I also told him the truth. I said wouldn't sign it, if I were him. He was the only ass. man. not to sign the stupid black mail pledge that day. My ARM and City MNGR lit me up for that. He ended up signing cuz he felt he had to to save my job. Demoralizing? You bet. I quit within two weeks. My entire branch quit within the next two weeks. Funny thing was. I had 100% retention before that.

BTW, I was not one of sorry, self-pitying MT's who never produced like you described. I became a BM after a year and a half in Group 32. You know how hard that is in GP32. As an MT, I sold Dub in the 70s at insurance branches where my colleagues were selling in the 40s.
