For example (for the 10th time). . . -I work on average less than 40 hours/week -Sometimes, I work a lot more, but generally 40 hours/week -I am compensated for my efforts in a monetary value. . .not just points for recognition -It's midnight right now and I'm not worried about not getting up in 4 hours to wash some rigs knowing in freezing weather. . .that's right, hoses will probably be frozen, too, tomorrow. . .Yeah!!! -When I bump into a past acquaintance and they ask "what are you doing for a living?" I don't have to explain to him/her that I run a "profit center" and rent rigs for ERAC! -my diet no longer consists of beer, pizza, appetizers, and fast food. -I don't have to give anyone a high five for selling "full boat" -I've made more money than I ever thought I was capable of making. Not trying to sound shallow, but when you are used to working 65 hours/week for 50 - 60k/year, it's truly an amazing feeling. -I no longer wash rigs. I could go on and on but I will stop here for now. Am I necessarily bitter about ERAC? Not really anymore, except for the fact that I let the company take many years out of my life. Who do I have to blame about that? Only myself. I know I was successful when I was working for your "wonderful" company and I too believed I was working for the greatest company out there. I then opened my eyes and saw that my non-college educated friends were more financially stable than myself. I finally admitted I was wrong and took a chance. Fortunately, that chance landed in my favor. Best of luck to you if you still want to work for this cult. I've got a good friend who I've been keeping in contact with who's an ARM on the East coast. Wanna guess his year to date? I don't think it's necessary, and he is finally starting to realize what a crock of shit this company is. By the way, I would love for you to tell me why ERAC is such a great company to work for and how it has provided such an excellent quality of life for you. I don't think anyone has answered that one yet. So please, do share. love always google :) | Scott C. is still lame!!! |
