Went back to work today after being out for a week with some serious sicknesses and my employer informs me that they are terminating my department. So, I say well where are you gonna put me? No where, were not selling any cars and we're overstaffed for what we're doing. We can't afford to keep you. Sorry.

What a shot in the ass. Out sick for a week and I come back to that. NICE!
So I take my 2 weeks severence and I'm gone. God, I love the car business.

Well what can I say bro good luck with the new job hunt sucks it happened to you


P

damn bro, good luck with job searching

Damn bro, sorry to hear that! Well i guess you thought something like that may happen anyway so maybe it wasnt much of a surprise but still hurts.

that sucks bro. now is your chance to do the contracting thing in new orleans.

Sorry to hear that bro.Keep your head up.Your knowledge with credit,cars,stock,ect.You'll find somthing no problem.Come out west,business is bomming here,in any field you choose.Contractor in New Orleans isn't a bad idea though.lol

Don't let it get you down for even a second. You wanted out of that fucked up world anyway, and you know darn well that you were wayyyyyyyyyy better than that job.

Now go do something that you'll be proud of and make some real money!

Sorry Marty to hear that, but sometimes i'd like to think things happen for a reason. Hopefully a few years from now, this will be a blessing.

damn bro sorry to hear that, but you will do all right bro, i know you will find some thing better

Is the other opportunity still available that you had talked about?? You were considering leaving not long ago so like the guys said~could be the best thing to happen to you. Still sucks how it happened...would be much nicer on your own terms.

Yes, the corporate world is brutal, especially when you can't spell.

No-one said ya had to be smart for the car business....LOL

We got it all figured out. Just sucks the way it went down. thanks for the support all.

Good luck finding a new job, doubt you'll have much trouble knowing you:)

Good luck on the job hunt. That sucks.

So what's the plan, Marty?

It is sometimes hard to see ahead but it was just that kind of shit that pushed me into doing something for myself. I make 10 times what I did busting ass for someone else. Sometimes a kick in the balls is good motivation.

Well bro, I did just that. Registered the company name, got my license and I am fully insured. So I say, fuckem. I'm out on my own.

Does that mean you're selling cars on your own now?

HELL NO. Ya know, in the car business I made alot of money. And I met alot of crooked people. I don't believe in stealing from your employees and that's all I see anymore. More and more vets are getting out of the business because of all the bullshit around here and I decide to follow suit. So I went and got me a nice toolbox for my truck and I am getting back into commercial construction. Start my first gig on Monday.

The best part is, I'll be home for dinner every night. I'll get to spend more time with the family and I'll be able to lead a more normal life. It blows going in at 8 and not leaving til 10-11 at night. And then they get pissed because you won't come in on your day off because business is slow. So they play little games, like cut your advertising budget in half until either you leave or become a good little soldier. So, I'm out and on to better things.

SWEET! Even though I was hoping you could get me a Dodge Charger for dirt cheap I'm even more happy that you're going to have a real life.

Sorry to hear Marty but where one door closes another will always open. And by the looks of things the new door has swung open for you. Now you get more time to spend with the family, and get to eat as a family as well.........looks like a much better deal to me

sorry to hear that man....I wish you the best bro. hang in there!

Old - New lifestyle

Old. Up 7:00am Drop daughter off to school in my office by 8:00. Everyone else is alseep when I leave so I get to say goodbye to only my wife.

After a stressful job of bullshitting my way to making a few bucks. That is if I get to see a client. Home by 10:30pm, Everyone's in bed and asleep already.

New. Up at 5:30-6:00am. Working by 7ish. Break at 9:30. Back to work. Lunch at 12:00. Back to work 12:45ish. Wrap up 2:45 and packed up by 3:10. Home by 3:30ish.

Yes, I have taken a slight paycut. but when we boil it down to hours worked, I'm making much more. And the fact that I can actually see my family and watch my kids grow up is priceless. Been a great move thus far.

Thanks for all the support guys, even if it was to correct my spelling. LOL

thats awesome brother..........

It will all work out. I had a similiar incident happen to me a month ago. I start my new job this Monday. It may take some time but I know I will make more money and have more time for family in the long run!

Best of luck bro!!

Hey Marty I'm more or less just getting caught up on the old freakz board but I guess my thoughts are this, first you are much better off now than before from many different standpoints, second yes is does suck and thats a real kick in the nuts the way they did it and lastly I can honestly say that for every door that closes a new one opens and it seems in both of our cases its a much better door. All the best,
Rude

I feel your pain, I may be looking for work as well. Good luck with the hunt. Keep your chin up.

Glad to hear things are going well, Marty.

Very good to hear Marty, I'm happy for you. Money's not always as important as doing something that makes you happy:)
