Who ever wrote this message (DM) you are obviously jealous that you are about 1/8 of the person that he is. This manager has overcome more things in his life than anyone I know and this will just be another story that he can show everone about how to deal with adversity and last time I checked we are all human and do make mistakes.

I wish that I could take credit for the “Skeletor” comment but I certainly know better than to write comments like that can be traced back to me. Besides considering that I was fired, who am I to criticize anyone else still at ERAC?
I only worked for Andy for a few months, but liked him and still do. I enjoyed working for Andy as well as I did hanging out with him the few times I saw him outside of work. I think that I had more success getting cars out or Andy’s area than any other. JS was the guy I could never get cars from. I have never worked with Jeff (and barely know him), but heard nothing but good things about him. I think that he was royally screwed when he was promoted to the AM spot and then pushed back down to BM. I feel that what someone does in their personal life is just that, personal. I don’t know exactly what it was that Jeff was doing, nor do I care, but I do think that he should have been allowed to take the promotion based on his credentials - his performance. And when it comes to Skip and a public forum I know to keep my mouth shut. I think that his retention and several other factors say more about him than anything I’d say in print.
Since I am signing this there are a few other things that I would like to say… I really did enjoy working for ERAC with the only exception being while at G2. I had a terrific assistant and MT that helped me turn G2’s numbers around 100%. Unfortunately we got so burned out working 6:30am-8:00pm with a hour commute each way we fixed everything but our ESQi. The little help personnel help that we did received was too little to late. 160 cars is just too much for 3 people. I’m not even bitter about being fired, the unemployment was enough to keep me from ever having to take money out of my savings. When Brad came in to fire me my bags had been packed for 2 months. After loading my things in the car I walked back in specifically to shake Brad’s hand and thank him for an awesome 4 years. If you ask him he’d tell you that I was smiling and joking when the ax fell. From what I hear Brad is throwing for KK’s old spot. I wish him the best and hope that he gets it. I’m sure that he will miss the beach and be missed.
To all my friends still working those long days, enjoy the triplicate we finally sold a car, and “The Origin National Oyster Shucking Day” emails. I hope it makes the day go by just a little faster.
