I AM FREE!!!

[ex cult member]

Hi there everyone,

I just wanted to express my jubilation at no longer being an E-drone.

No longer will I have to see my manager go red-faced as he barks at me to answer the phone and I ignore him.. (i'm ignoring him cos I'm actually dealing with a customer at the counter and in my experience its just FUCKING RUDE to treat the phone as priority over the person who is stood in front of you)

I will never have another customer say to me, "I could do with a nice little job like this; you know, just driving cars around all day!!!!" and have to reply, "Oh no, it's not all I do, there's so much more..it's a management training scheme....." and then change the subject because I know that when I get the customer back to the office I will have to frighten them into an upgrade or CDW and then I will have to wash the car for them as well.

Oh yeah...washing cars in a suit...that's really professional/ appropriate

I used to get really strange looks from customers washing cars in my suit and heels. Some of the slutty MTs in my area used to wear skirts on purpose as they thought that when the bent over to do the hoovering it would be a step towards that promotion...........

Which brings me onto the incest at ERAC.... Everyone is shagging each other...

BUT this is because nobody else outside the ERAC cult would understand them and they can talk about "sitting tight" together at home.........

Also ERACs management style is like something from the 80s. A wannabee boys' yuppie club. I'm sure they all just ring each others phones to make themselves look important and busy. If everyone just stopped ringing each other and actually got on with their job............oh yeah.......the job's RENTING CARS!!!!

The way the BLEED GREEN CREW go on about the company you would think that they were working on a cure for cancer and AIDS........

ITS RENTING CARS!!!! of which there were never any......

I was told when i first started to take every deal........ so i did!!

One day my manager left me in the office by myself so I took every deal i could...

"What's that sir...you want a transit van in the next 30 minutes?? Of course (said with a smile) that's no problem."

"No problem, Mrs. Smith. A large people carrier by 5 o'clock today. Of course!!"

You get the idea ha ha!!

Then I got totally bollocked by my manager..

"But I thought you said take every deal. Have a YES MENTALITY!! That's what I've done.........oh so now there's grey areas?? So I shouldn't take every deal?? I should?? Now i'm confused.....ok don't shout at me..it's not my fault we don't have enough cars..........don't fucking swear at me?? Ok don't cry......being a BM means you get great commission right???"

Oh and marketing.......what a waste of time!!!!

Pestering dealerships and bodyshops every week and being made to feel like a laughing stock because they all see ERAC as a BIG JOKE!!!

In the end I just used to go shopping and meet a friend for lunch....pop in to some of the accounts...have a coffee and then make up a load of stuff when i got back. The laughable thing is that corporate told me I was one of the best marketers they ever had ha ha ha!!!!

oh yeah and what's the deal with not having any cleaners!!! I now have my own small business and even I have cleaners..... The amount of customers that used to comment on how dirty the office was. I used to keep my desk area clean but drew the line on cleaning the loos. ( I worked in an office full of boys who thought it was hilarious to burp and fart all day long and then pat each other on the back whrn they had been for a huge shit and you could smell it right through the office!!!)

I could go on all day about the crapness of ERAC and I haven't even mentioned the crap hours and laughable pay but I hope anyone considering a "career" with ERAC reads this and reconsiders.

One soul saved from hell would be a start!!

Brilliant post. However you forgot about non-faulting a customer, getting them to sign a dodgy form so that you could charge them them the full amount 90 days later. When the Insurance company tell you to fuck off when you try to collect the money.

Oops yes I forgot that..... What's that Mr. Smith? You were hit in the rear and you drive a corsa?..... no problem we can upgrade you into a Land Rover and get the other insurance compny to pay for it because you move your four elderley grandparents across town to see Mr. Wonka at the chocolate factory once a year.......ok we'll just say you need it for "safety and comfort"

Superb thread, and true in every respect! Well done ex cult member!

But who is this knob-jockey posting something about Joely F? Just because you know this is Paul you have a dig? Completely irrelevant to the nature of this thread! Go back to mucking out the back of your transit in your Burton's suit and conning old ladies into buying 'piece of mind' then highfiving your fat American boss at the end of the day cos you made the company an extra fifty quid.

So please, stick to the nature of this thread... well done ex cult member!

The fact that

a. I do not work in a prison, but am happy to work in the public sector where there is such a thing as a work life balance. Love flexible working hours, and that does not mean the Enterprise, "if you work saturday you can go home at 1700 on a Wednesday"

b. The original post has refreshingly honest, accurate and to the point, and by sending the remarks you have sent, means that you agree with the statement.
