RE: To start, I am the one who started this post, a female ... I'm getting grilled next week, so the homley MT title won't be mine anymore.

No - now you'll be a homely MA for the next six months doing the work of an MT with no additional pay or respect.

When you're selected for "the grill" the decision to promote is already a done deal. Going through "the grill" is just a formality. If you ever make Level III you'll find that out. Find one person who has failed the grill - or even the rumor of one failing - and you'll understand what I mean.

RE: You can stay in your corporate job, but while your making the same money over 50 years, and get fired when a new college grad takes your position.

Sorry sweetie (get used to that name) - that's how it is at ERAC not the "real" world. The real world doesn't use freshly minted college grads listing Domino's Pizza or Sear's Retail as experience to replace an experienced manager. Look around at your bank managers or even store managers at Publix - all in their 30's and 40's.

RE: I will be in some high corporate position at ERAC laughing it up. And even if I don't make it at ERAC, the experience I have learned will teach me to better at any job and make me a easily hired from any other company.

Sounds like a statement of self-defeat already - what makes you think you won't make it a ERAC - you don't swallow ?? Besides what possible experience learned at ERAC will be applicable in the real world - washing cars - cleaning bathrooms - emptying trash - giving head ?? Be more specific sweetie.

RE: Unlike you, I don't have time to fight on this board...

That's because you're working 55 - 60 hours a week and need every waking hour of off time to iron those spiffy white shirts (yours or your mgrs).

RE: as I will be going out with my coworkers tonight and laughing at you over a sex on the beach!

More like you're branch manager will be laughing with his fellow mgrs about having sex on the beach with you to see if you really are Asst Mgr material.

Drink Up !!! Your promotion is on a six-pack away ...
