A few questions:

1. Is this the position Derek C. Watts used to have? Whatever happened to him?

Naw. At least when I was there, Lenny was higher up on the food chain than Derek. Lenny, at least when I was there, even owned a condo above the Folsom/3rd location. Don't know if he still does but you could probably ask the front desk. There was a Thai food place attached to the building. BTW, Derek is gone? Guess his music career must have taken off.

2. If Enterprise has 6,000 locations, and the guy who manages the five locations in S.F. gets to be called a "Vice President", does that mean Enterprise has something like 1,000 "Vice Presidents"? Does anyone else find that humorous?

ERAC and humor are pretty mutually exclusive topics.

3. Is "Len Almalech" one of the stiffs in the photograph? Hints: First guy is white, early 50's, mostly bald, wearing glasses, could lose a few pounds, white shirt with a dark tie, giving a dorky "thumbs up" sign. The second guy is African-American, early 30's, bald, wearing a white shirt with a dark tie, looks like he can't believe he has to put up with posing with this other guy and having to also give a dorky "thumbs up" sign.

Haven't seen the article but he probably is. When I was there, four years ago. He had glasses, mostly bald, a tad heavy but, relative to most ERAC employees, he was actually fairly lightweight.

4. While we're at it, can somebody tell me the hierarchy, including names and titles, from the branch manager here in S.F., going up the food chain?


Could have told you four years ago. Is Brooks Drysdale still the Area Manager. He took over for Bryan Wilson. I admit, I wasn't a huge fan of ERAC nor model employee, but I liked Brooks. He was actually a really good guy. Kinda like Tim Wakefield and the Red Sox, no matter what the issue or which higher-up, subordinate, or customer, was yelling at him, Brooks just went out there and did his job.
