Couldn't take it anymore. confronted my boss on her bullshit in front of her boss, the owner and the rest of the mid-level and higher people. It was, in retrospect, unprofessional, but I'd had it. She blatantly tried to throw me under the bus for her fuckup and I refused to sit there and take it.
Convo goes something like this (do not be alarmed at the profanity, this is a dealership and everyone talks to everyone like this, it's more of a tone and topic issue):
GeneralMgr: This customer is fucking pissed off at service and I want to know where the breakdown was, this happens too often.
ServiceMgr: Well, they said that they never got a call back, so if Harry had followed up this wouldn't be an issue. I went over this issue before with him.
Me: What?
Owner: Harry, that's not what happened?
GeneralMgr: Well now isn't the time to point fingers...
Me: Oh, hell no. Fuck that. Are you kidding me. She lies to my face and throws me out there as a fuck up, which I have a feeling is happening a lot behind closed doors when I'm not around and now we'll just leave that on the table and move on like some mystery has been solved. I don't think so. Let's put it all on the table right now.
(So by now I'm out of my seat and the parts manager is holding my hand and trying to get me to sit down).
Me: (to ServMgr) You're a liar, a shyster, and generally incompetent. I took your tests for certification thru the dealer network. I lie to customers for you because you haven't dispatched their cars for repair in over 48 hours since they dropped it off. I cover when you have your lovers spats with your man (Who just happens to be the general manager, so you can see my frustration. I was not told this after I was hired of course). Yeah, that's right. I know he was fucking around w/his exwife and then you keyed his Hummer. That's why he grabbed your ass around the throat that day I was leaving and walked the other way so you couldn't see me. You lie to customers. You sold a transmission flush and service to a lady w/a fucking clutch you bitch. You are everything wrong with this department and since you are fucking him (pointing to general manager). We'll never be free of you. You have completely ruined a career change for me to a job I thoroughly enjoyed. When you went on vacation everything was great. As soon as you came back all hell broke loose.
(SOOOOO, since I just called the mother of his children and his service manager a lying, incompetent, thieving, bitch basically the GM decided to step)
GM (general mgr): WHat the fuck are you doing you can't talk to her like that.
Me: Fuck you too. I saved your ass at least three times since I've been here from customers foaming at the mouth ready to fuck your shyster sales ass up. Your own salesmen left you with that ex-con last month and you were a shivering bitch then so don't swell up on me now.
Owner: STOP! Lets bring it down a notch. Some serious allegations have been thrown around and now we need some resolution.
GM: I want his ass out of here today!!
Me: No problem I'll take my ass and my notebook to the fucking labor board and see what they have to say. I haven't had more than one or two lunch breaks since I started and I keep GOOOOOOOD notes so you try it fucker. I'm gonna send your little brother to jail to. Yeah that's right I know he's fucking the little receptionist that just happens to be just turned 17. You fuck w/me.
So the meeting ended shortly after that. Later that day the company lawyer comes to see me and asks if I really have the notes that I say I do. I let him read the first two pages. He looks a little pale and says
Lawyer: So you obviously don't want to stay?
ME: nah, I'm pretty much done.
Lawyer: so where do we go from here.
Me: I need a couple of things and I'm good.
Lawyer: shoot
Me: I need to collect unemployment, a letter of recommendation from the owner, and some severance
Lawyer: Sounds reasonable, come back this afternoon and we'll talk.
Me: ok
At 4:45 I came back to the dealer and picked up a check for a months pay w/my commission averaged out over all the months I'd worked (so what I was basically projected to earn) and a termination document stating I was rehireable and basically the victim of a restructure and downsizing. I am to pick up the letter of rep on Monday.
On a side note I have an interview w/a dealer 10 min from my house tomorrow. I already had an initial interview and the guy said he was impressed w/me and I meet the head guy tomorrow. Wish me luck:tup2:
