Default josh_trdsparks in no more

OK well after almost 4 years I am no longer an employee of Sparks Toyota or trdsparks.com. For some reason they have locked my original screen name so I had to create a new one. I'm still a Scion owner so it's still all good. Just thought I'd tell you guys what the deal was.

Got canned actually. It's a long story but the short version is I was getting the short end on pay and we had a meeting that didn't go very well. I kept getting the feeling I was being pushed to quit but I didn't. Then right after that someone was looking through my computer when I was at lunch and found a person conversation on my IM talking about the meeting and it went down hill from there. I'm kinda glad to be outta there.

I actually registered for classes at Tech this weekend and I may have a job lined up doing installs at Bestbuy. So it's all good.

Damn, Josh. That sucks.

We both want to thank you again for all of your help and that you have been great to us.

We hope your future is bright and and that the Toyota dealership lost a valuable asset.


Take care of yourself.

thats a shame dude...don't worry, just means it is time to move on to bigger and better things.

i hate it when bosses push people to quit by making them miserable instead of just being direct. my manager does that $h!t all the time with people at my job, i hate watching it happen.

Mcgeorge's? I was thinking the same thing... I remember they were about equal when I got my tC in 2005. It was the helpfulness and availability of Josh that put Sparks over Mcgeorge.

Dealers are dumb like that and don't know when they are pushing away a valuable asset. They did that to my friend at Clair Scion. Now that place is a dump, they don't sell any cars and my friend is selling 15 cars a month at another dealership.

Sorry to hear about that man. Wife and I bought our first Scion from you all down there. As for Best Buy, let me know who is working in car audio. I still got a bunch of friends down there that work at BB. IF I can I will try and pull a string or two
