Well doesn't it feel good to write about the terrible embarrassment that I, along with others, let myself get swept up in.
We were all so clueless, because we were brainwashed. And everyday before leaving for the field they would run a meeting that would boost our spirits.
But, you ask... Why would they need to pump everyone up every single day?
For many reasons. The biggest reason was to get their employees to see past the fact that they couldn't even afford gas to get out to their territories - let alone pay rent or eat.
The whole thing about keeping from negging the new guys out by maintaining a happy face and a great attitude (#6 of the 8's) and asking them "How was your day" over and over again was just bullshit - as if we cared anyways... We don't make money off them. We were trained to keep them there so Sara Beth King (the redneck blood sucking no brained devil) could make her pathetic overrides that couldn't even buy her a living room.
Basically, we were lying to everyone outside of the office.
We were also lying to ourselves (not to mention our friends and family-the most important people).
Poor, poor people that let themselves get sucked in and become so pathetically intertwined that they cannot see the light. Don't they realize that even if they get their own office, they are going to spend their days screwing people over??? HELLO!
And we still have people caught up in the middle of it - friends that we once respected. Now we look at them and feel so sad... Everyone is so typical Alpha-personality, yet they are all lemmings, about to follow the leader off of the cliff.
And Sara Beth King has so much integrity. She is sleeping and newly living with her assistant manager, who was just recently promoted (he made the leap from the regular sex to ass sex apparently)
And how in the hell can you even read the paychecks? It's just another run around. It's the perfect set up for when people quit because the ex-employees want to forget the nightmare so badly that they don't do anything about chasing down their missing money.
Its not like they can go in the office and pick up their check... Sara Beth forbids that.
It was so sad when we watched our brainwashed friends one night, the best dressed guys in the restaurant, fight over who was going to pay what and who owes more for tip on a measly $50 check. No one else had any problems, and we were all ex employees.
It's all a lie. It's people playing dress-up... Pretending to be important. Pretending to have their businesses.
But you must think of yourself for what you really are: a number. A number who either gets put in the percentage of people who make it (to rip off people like themselves) or who don't make it (failing, as Sara Beth likes to call it).
And if you do become part of the percentage who stays, you are merely an override making robot, reporting for duty to your various owners who have dragged you all over the country looking for the cheapest rent.
Bottom Line: Just stay away, don't waste your time. You don't need some cookie cutter ass blueprint of how to run a business. If you have a degree and you are motivated, don't let them tell you that you need them to do it.
P.S. There's no better opportunity in Austin...
P.P.S. The grass is greener on the other side! Where you're standing, is where it's lacking in green.
