GOT FIRED TODAY

Unless you have something else already lined up that you have to start sooner, I wouldn't worry about the last 2 weeks that much. Many times they won't even have you work them. If you do, it is the easiest 2 weeks you'll ever have to do there. No pressure to sell or go all crazy over customers and cars. Much easier to get through the days knowing the light at the end of the tunnel is in sight.

i suggest filing for unemployment, you'd have a strong case for collection...
if you were an MT or MA you'll qualify for around 26 weeks of aprox $680 twice a month...not bad as a cushion untill you find greener pastures.
plus it pisses erac off to have a lot of unemployment claims filed against them.
this is the route i took when i was let go from ERAC for "performance reasons"
they fought the claim viciously but i won and lol'ed at them

Anyone know if you can claim unemployment if you accept seveance pay?

It may differ from state to state but my understanding is that if you are offered and accept severance pay they make you sign something that says you won't file for unemployment.
But again, that may differ in each state and also may not be legal or binding anyways.

They fought it in GP53.

Also, should I be concerned about not reporting a speeding ticket to Admin/my area manager?

If getting fired can hurt my chances of employment elsewhere, I might want to quit before that happens. But, if I get fired, I don't have to work those painful final 2 weeks...what a conundrum!

Haha... two weeks notice? Enterprise doesn't do 2 weeks notice. You put in your notice and they'll tell you to go on home.

I dooubt they will make you work the 2 weeks once you say you are leaving. They wouldn't want you to contaminate the other brainwashed souls who are still afraid to leave.

I'm not even mentioning ERAC on my resume, or in an interview.. it's a fucking embarassment. The year that I spent there was spent instead as being self-employed - AND at the mini-mart where I spent 2 evenings a week and Sundays, just to help pay the bills. Those extra 16 hours a week of work really help.

ERAC is embarrassing - from what I've heard, most, if not the majority of potential employers look at ERAC on a resume and immediately throw it out.

Why hire someone that rented cars?

It's a fuckin embarassment. I can't wait for this corporation to go bankrupt, and everyone higher than ass man to starve in the streets.

I'm sure that will happen real soon. Ten Billion dollar companies don't go bankrupt. Companies that open a new office, on average, everyday stay in business. Why do you hate Enterprise? Is it possible that you did not give it your all and that is why you failed? Why does it have to be a companies fault that you feel like a failure? I'm sure you are good at something. Your just not capable of renting cars. As far as other companies, I work for one of the larger Drug companies, that is also family owned. We love ex-enterprise employees. In fact, we prefer that our sales people have at least 1-2years of Enterprise experience. I worked for Enterprise about 10 years ago. My sister works there now as a City Manager. She lives in a bigger house than me and drives a Porshe on the weekends. I come to this site to see what poor employees are talking about so when I interview them I know which ones will fail at my company and I know not to hire them either.
