The German breakdown

The german adventure is over. Employees quit, branch and admin-offices were shut down. It's over and out.

Thanx a lot american fellows for your lessons in "doing the us-way". It was a great pleasure for us to work for this company and we'll never forget.

Me as a german, I'm very proud to say that this company has no chance to grow in germany. The german public is not as stupid as I first thought. We don't want this High-Five-Twinkle-Dinkle-Culture here. That's really ridicolous. Wal-Mart was the best example and ERAC follows.

I can give you an advice my fellow americans:

First: learn more about the rest of the world and second: stay where you are.

bon voyage

PS: That's spanish and means: have a god trip

Bon voyage = French!!!!

I am German myself - but that was a good joke now which shows that - sad but true- some German people have to learn their lesson (or should I say "a language") as well.

Anyway - good that it's over because apart from what the person above me said = Americans still have to learn not to just think that it can always go "their way".

Adios! = Spanish.... and means goodbye!

American Culture doesn't work overseas, because its simply arrogant. Germans are know for their good work ethic, but not for this high five crap, nice job screwing the customer over. I am a fellow german, and worked in both countries. Yes in the US is the model perfectly fine, in Germany its a freaking joke.

Auf Wiedersehen ERAC = good bye ERAC (just for you americans, who are not speaking that second language)

Oh man, That's what I thought. Some German's don't use their head for thinking as well. This was irony, dumb-ass!

Was hat denn Zürich mit Erac zu tun ?

Wahrscheinlich wollten die Schweiz als nächstes in Angriff nehmen (sowie auch Österreich, Holland, etc. HAHA!) und nach Mission failed: Germany haben sie es aufegegeben.

Die werden einen Teufel tun und nach Schweiz, Holland oder sonstwo gehen.

War vor ungefähr 2 Jahren aber gross in Planung und wurde als "unoffiziell" in Meetings weitergegeben.

"Holland als nächstes und Spanien ist auch schon anvisiert, wir haben ja auch schon recruitment events da und Int. Trainees in den USA von dort"

Hat sich nach dem Erfolg von ERAC in D wohl ganz schnell geändert.

Es wurden ja auch schon Franzosen als IMT eingestellt (vor mehr als 5 Jahren), die man danach aber in England eingesetzt hat.
Dort sind sie seit einigen - mittlerweile - Jahren mit lokalen Autovermietungen im Gespräch zwecks Aufkauf... so far: nicht besonders erfolgreich. Tja, the success story goes on!!
