ford cant impose any criminal charges against anyone. that's why the 0 tolerance...they get the store, or the $!! i dont think we can go after him either...it's not really a criminal thing. it's violation of the dealer agreement (pretty standard stuff for all franchises. yes mick, even foriegn!! lol)
it just blows...these were good guy's mick, and they loose it all!! we was struggling enough as it was...this absolutley killed us. and we have no avenue. if time were good, we could go to an invester and get bailed out (like mel farr did many times) and just hand over a piece...but who wants to throw big $ in a dealership right now? exspecially a ford franchise!

TweetSorry to hear that bro. I hope you find something else that pays as much and that you enjoy doing!

thanks bro...i know i'll land another gig...i've got offers already. but, this was a job that i actually looked forward to getting up for!! it just blows...i'll move on...i'll be fine...i just didnt want to go to where i'm gonna have to go to get the $ i need...ya know? i didnt want to go back to 45-50hrs a week. i didnt want to go back to suits and ties...phuq

TweetJust hit it hard bro. We are in a tought area, but with your experience im sure you will find something decent. Just think of all the line workers that are phucked and the engine plants. I heard Diesel is supposed to permenantly layoff 400, if it already hasn't happened. Alot of these ppl have no real job skills, so they will either have to settle for much lower paying jobs, or loose their assets. Very hard times here...

TweetSorry to hear about that!

What about that place that was interested in hiring you before? Is that position still open? If so don't tell them why your leaving your job, tell them you wanted to take a chance and give their dealership a try.

Tweetcommercial equip leasing... work from home, and work the files and clients assigned in your area...

or own your own finance company.. (stated that this year)... brokerage.. find a source willing to work with you, and take it to the customers..

TweetSorry to hear dave...hope you find something..
Dont mean to sound like an ass, but the UAW ****ed themsevles....they have almost ran the domestic car companies out of business, by pricing themselves out of work...i saw their union contract, and it was way out of line.no wonder the company cant make a profit..same as the steel workers in the 70's and 80's...look where they are at now...there arent many...you think they would have learned by the steel workers mistakes.

TweetDAVE AND I'M SERIOUS HERE. WERE I LIVE MAN THERES A **** LOAD OF DEALERS INA 5 MILE RADIUS. PLUS I CAN SHOW YOU ALL OVER THE PLACE HERE WHERE DEALERS ARE LOCATED. CMON AND MOVE DOWN THIS WAY.
