I feel that a load has been lifted from me and that my stress level has decreased by 99%. On to bigger and better...a real job.

Congrats...it IS a good feeling, isn't it?

Fuck 'em, man. You're awesome!!!!

I totally agree, fuck enterprise, fuck everyone thats in it that sucked me into this huge pile of bullshit!!!!!! GOOD JOB MY FRIEND!!!! I tell ya after i leave I want to make a bunch of bullshit net reservations all over jsut to fuck with them!!!!!!!

You would be wrong. There is 1 (ONE) African-American female RVP in the entire company. Out of 200+ regions, there is 1 (and shocker that she won an Exceptional Achievement Award in Orlando this year -- "GASP, we let one in and she is successful... what to do???"). That's all. I don't know how many African-American males hold that position, but it is not many. It is a white person's company. 2 years ago, the level 4 corporate officers that were white and male was 94.6%. That was only 2 years ago, how much progress do you actually think they have made since then? Get serious. Why do you think one of the 'core values' is "Our Doors Are Open"? They are openly trying to promote any and all minorities so they don't get sued again like they did in '01. The problem is, the minorities rarely stick it out in the company and leave (because they see the track record of promotions, or lack thereof, and get the hell out -- and can you blame them?).

In '01 ERAC actually had a conference call for every African-American in the entire company to discuss the class-action lawsuit they settled out of court for racial discrimination. That was fun explaining that one to the other employees. It looked like a walkout had been staged when all the employees went on the conference call. And the best part was they sent an MS01 to only African-American employees to inform them of the call. How long do you think it took corporate to compile that distribution list? Who in their right mind thought it would be a good idea to have a conference call for just one type of employee in the company? Let's see.... set up a conference call that excludes a portion of the workforce in order to discuss racial discrimination! What an oxymoron! They only perpetuated the environment they were trying to minimize by having the call in the first place! Idiots! And the discrimination case? It was for discrimination in promotions among minorities.

Don't be nice and give them the benefit of the doubt about their promotion practices in regards to minorities and females. Their track record speaks for itself. And like they love to say in upper management, "Past performance is indicative of future behavior."

Here are some immature but gratifying stunts I did: About 2 months before I had to move, (military spouse) I showed up about half hour to 45 minutes late almost every day. I didn't show up on a Saturday. I used my personal days and burned through my vacation days. Sometimes after eating mexican food for lunch, I would fart in the cars just before giving them to the customers (really effective in very hot weather because then the customers had to roll down their windows!) I put an opened can of tuna fish in my branch managers office desk. I put non-smoking customers in unprepped smoked filled cars. I quit cash-qualifying customers altogether because they werent worth my effort. I quit collecting the fuel fee, which led to fireworks when they returned the cars to find out they "owed money".
I "accidentally soaked" the bitchy area HR rep lady while prepping a car (I could see right through that wet blouse!)
At an ERAC luncheon, I told a couple of State Farm Adjusters in an insulting manner that their client's concerns really didn't matter because they were "too pushy".
And before I left, I threw away all of the reservations for customers with specific requests (vans, cadillacs, trucks ect) and then mis-filed all the rest.
On my last day I took a few calls and answered as the BM (he was playing golf yet again with the "higher ups") quoting dirt cheap rates on everything for reservations but never filled anything out. I laughed out loud in a customers face and wished him good luck when he "demanded a new Maxima for his rental because he drove a 1987 Maxima" (when his insurance ALLSTATE would only pay $18.50 a day). I chitted out a two hour lunch to the tune of $66.00 under sales calls. My very last customer called at around 2 minutes before closing (see my other post on this one) but I never picked her up.
So you see you can have just a little fun before you leave. Good Luck to those who have left and are trying to leave-IF YOU PUT UP WITH ERAC, YOU WILL CERTAINLY SUCCEED IN ANYTHING YOU DO AFTER ERAC

wow you sound like a winner. I can't believe that the company let you go...I bet that YOU were just too good for US right? right.

sweetheart...I am sure that you have to tell her that because I hope that no female would be stupid enough to ever "pump" out your babies...ewww. I bet you can't even get it pumping in the first place bucko.

as for every female compaining about not getting promoted...yeah right. I am a female and have done very well in the company. We have as many female managers and we do male managers. Will I say that I use my good looks to get farther in the company? Of course, but I also know that I am damn good at my job and well respected. Work hard in life and get what you deserve. (and pray that you do not meet that guy...)

well at least you are mature and not bitter. I mean it would really suck to lose such a great, mature, responsible worker like you... I am sure that you are going to do very well wherever you go...I just wish that you would have stayed with us...you sound like a great worker and caring person, totally OUR lose.)

(yeah right...you sound like a jackass)

So basically you're calling yourself a whore. And I pump just fine sweetheart. By the sounds of things, I wouldn't be able to get it up if I took one look at you. Cook me my dinner cupcake and I'll let you watch the Home Shopping Network. Go do a male manager to get promoted since that will be the only way it's gonna happen. Whore!

enough said, thanks for confirming the slut factor

I love pulling AC fuses from the units out in summer time.

I am not suggesting this be done, but it sure would be funny. Some have been done but I will not say which ones.

1. Void all open tickets and clear callbacks. This would be very effective right before EOM. Could initiate legal action.. be careful.

2. MSO1 your Group VP all the good gossip about your Area Manager and above then turn in your resignation.

3. Send Andy Taylor a MSO1 asking for a pay raise.

4. Call all your reservations the night before you quit and tell them you are upgrading them at no charge to a larger vehicle.

5. Those of you who can take cars home at night.. Drive your car home and damage the hell out of it. Throw a party on the inside. The next morning have a friend pick you up at your branch well before the store opens. Write your letter of resignation, put it in the drivers seat with the keys, lock the car. Be sure to time and date your letter. The branch will have to eat the repair bill because you were still offically employeed by ERAC.

6. Shout obsenities to customers who piss you off and then quit dead in the middle of writing up a ticket.

7. Drive like a bat out of hell as you are on your way back from dropping off a 100% satisfied customer and pull into the parking lot, do some donuts and when they ask you what the hell you were doing. Tell them you were celebrating making the customer 100% happy on your last day.

8. Light up a cigar in your branch at 5pm on a Friday and tell everyone you are celbrating your promtion.. when they ask where, tell them anywhere but here.

9. Starting on Monday.. after you have had the weekend to work on this..
Get little baggies and fill them with baby powder, sugar, whatever looks like drugs and plant them under the seats of cars. When a customer comes back find the baggie and ask them if they ment to leave it in the car and then tell them you will need to call the police.

10. Slack off. Slack off. Slack off. Use all your vacation and sick days. Then on your last vacation day turn in your resignation.

Just some of the things I have seen done or even thought about doing.
