20MM burning to the ground

[dublinfire]

Word on the street is that 20mm had the highest 3 year turnover percent in the entire company; something like 80%. The vice president of the company I currently worked for told me that he got to where he is now by turning a struggling division of our company. He says that in his first year he fired everyone; he then replaced then hired a core group of superb managers to mold the rest of his employees to be successful. How is it that this region just continuously cleans house from top to bottom? It makes me sick that I have some of my former area managers and others from Gp20, resumes come accrossed my desk for consideration all the time. The jobs they did after leaving ERAC are a joke: manager @CVS, auto parts marketing for a failing parts supplyer, insurance sales, pyramid companies like Amway. I guess I'm glad that from the day I was hired in I did not buy into the crap they try and convince you of all the time; rather, I just waited for a better job opportunity to roll around after I got my 3-5 years "professional" experience that most jobs require.

--If you are quitting this place be smart and you can milk them for an extra 2 to 5 thousand dollars by presenting them with total hours worked as an Asst Mgr where you were not performing manager functions but merely working as an employee under a manager. It is against Michigan law to salary an employee and label them as a manager if they do not perform managerial duties. I think they got scared I might sue and just waived a check in my face as they have done with two other people I know.

Wow, when I saw "burning to the ground" and Detroit in the same sentence, I took it literally!

Sad to see what used to be a great region falling apart. I have to disagree (somewhat) with the previous post regarding what former eracers are doing now. There were some pretty damn good leaders (rvp, rrm, arms, and bms) who have gone on to bigger and better things. They were underappreciated at erac and are better off with their new careers. I would worry more for the idiots there now that have run what used to be a good region right into the ground...... They will probably get replaced; their replacements will clean house; the new team will ultimately struggle and get fired, and the erac merry go round will continue. All in the name of "advancement opportunities".
