I work for a small business started by two people who had no experience in this industry in a rural area of Texas. I was unemployed at the time I got this job, but it was in the industry I was experienced in.
They constantly make shit business decisions. Case in point. They have been looking for a sales manager for pretty much the year and a half I have been here. They finally found someone with experience who had done this sort of work in a larger market. He comes in and blows it up, gets them money left and right like they DESPERATELY wanted.
Now fast forward a month or so into this and they want to get rid of the guy because he's "too big city" for them. So they're now going to go back to not getting advertising for this business again with an inexperienced person because he doesn't fit their "image" of being a rural little business.
WTF?
They try to sell this as a "caring/community" business, but bottom line as they have stated many times - it's about MAKING money and they're making more than they have made since I started with this sales guy and they are going to dump him ....
Needed to vent. If I could find another job today, I would. I need to just get into a new industry, this one blows after being in it for years. Have been looking forever because these idiots are going to run this thing into the ground sooner or later.
