I had managed an automotive glass shop and apparently increasing monthly sales by an average of 16% while getting paid far less than the manager I replaced is somehow considered 'insufficient performance'...

either way, if you know anyone looking for an infantry Marine reservist, married, two kids (#3 due in nov) with several years of automotive experience (sales, mechanical, and paint/body), customer service and people management, lemme know

Active Duty Marine Corps is an option... A wife, 2 children, 1 on the way.. No brainer!

Bummer. Wish I could help you out, but you're too far south. Good luck, man.

Unfortunate...Could you go through your chain of command in your reserve unit and request some AD days? (I am Retired Army)

Really sorry to hear about that man. But hey, there is usually a reason for things like this to happen. Try to stay positive and upbeat, and good things will come your way.........been there myself VERY recently.

BTW, I assume you live in or around College Station and probably want to stay there?

Yeah, grew up here, parents/in-laws are here... and my daughter is enrolled in school here too

One of the reasons I could never do sales full time. You could take this opportunity to go to school if you wanted to.

I feel your pain VinR1. I'm another jobless Marine with the same experience, and no one is hiring.

VinR1, v8sten, 01zoh6 thank you all for your service.

If you are not opposed to the oil &gas industry, may I suggest www.rigzone.com

They are always hiring.

Btw, firing someone like that, no notice, performing at 16% increase in Sales but insufficient performance is bs.e

Are you open to relocation? If so, shoot me a PM.

VinR1

iTrader: (17)

Relocating isnt an option at this time. my wife graduates in dec and has several $70k+ job offers already (RN, top of her class) and my severence plus savings should get us through then. In the meantime, I think I'll find something part time and enjoy our kids for a while...when my wife graduates, I can use my GI bill and finish school

Sorry to hear about that. If you were in Houston, I could send you to one of the top shops that is looking for a seasoned/highly experienced LS1 tech.
