Freaky Good Man

LMAO, ok this is not a repost. It is true. I got my ass fired again.

What had happen was. The last few weeks at the dealership have been incredibly slow. The traffic had been down to a crawl. Everybody including myself was frustrated. On last Wednesday our finance manager was out, so my GM was going over files he wasn’t familiar with. He comes out of the finance office to the lobby area where all the sales guys were sitting and directly outside of my office and asks about a customer that happened to be mine.

The customer had been up to the dealership, but is wife was very pregnant. In fact she had their baby the next day. My GM asks me why hadn’t the customer been back up to purchase the car. I told him that he would come up once he and his wife got situated from having the baby. He replies that having a baby wasn’t a good reason for not being back up to the dealership. I calmly say, he will be back up; it’s no problem I already talked to him. Which I had. He goes on to say; well his wife isn’t paying the note so he should be back up here. At this point I am a little pissed and I tell him, stop tripping he will be back up here. He then says, well you need to call him and get him up here. Now I am pissed because he has asked me about this customer 3 times. So I tell him I already told you he will be back up here now leave it alone.

I guess he doesn’t like my tone. He asks me what is wrong with me am I having a bad day? I tell him that I was fine and that my day was going well. He says, well apparently not, do you want to go home for the day? At this point I am very pissed. So I say, I don’t give a fuck; we are not doing shit here anyway. As I am shutting down my laptop, he says it looks to me like you are having a bad day, I don’t know what your problem is. I promptly tell him, my problem is you are sitting here acting like a little bitch. You acted like a bitch on Monday and you are acting like a little bitch today.

He starts stuttering and says; well I can’t let you call me that in front of everybody we just need to end this today.

And that’s how I got fired, AGAIN. lol

Just to add more clarity to what happen. Two days before that had happened on Monday, the GM was having a bad day. It took a lot for me not to say anything to him on Monday. But, I bit my tongue and left it alone. I was off the next day and on Wednesday is when it all hit the fan.

Now my GM is a white guy originally from Australia and is normally a very jovial guy. So, his attitude was coming from frustration that we hadn’t been selling anything. Well my attitude came from the same thing. Most of the salesman had been rumbling about finding new employment and some had even started interviewing. It was not professional or appropriate for me to call him a bitch, but honestly I felt that’s how he had been acting the last two days we had to deal with each other. It was one of those things where you want to say it in your head or under your breath but it came out with such ease it was amazing.

I did call him and apologize, because I was wrong. We were able to part on good terms and I feel that if I truly wanted to come back I could. At this point I don’t know if I want to deal with car sales anymore at that dealership or any other. Something about it brings out the hot head in me more than normal. This is the second manager I have cussed out in about 7 months. I have never done anything like that before in business. It may be that I was working there while I got the business to where it needs to be and I didn’t value the position much. I am not sure what to think, however, it felt so good. My only regret is that I didn’t have a clear exit strategy. It is very liberating to not have to take the shit of management if you don’t want to.

I am taking a few days to relax and get my thoughts together. We have a few things we need to get situated on the business front so I can stay busy. I have already secured an interview on Monday, so we shall see. I will keep you guys updated.

Yours truly,

Manager Cusser Outter
