I suspect this is because I did not cause the new AD any problems but just moved on.

Right now I have more calls than I can play and how I got there was to simply move on and put my recruiting efforts in the new places being opened almost on a daily basis here. I too have several places I would not like to lose but I know it can happen and will adapt to whatever happens.


Deane......thanks for the additional letter of support. I agree with everything you say. Your way is the practical way. I have no problem moving on when I "lose" an account. There's enough pickings out there especially where I live.

But, I decided I'm NOT going to do it the Deane way or the pragmatic way all of you have advised me......I'm going to do it the "barbarian" way! I'm going to go to the head of administration and state my case. I have nothing to lose. She's not returning my calls, so I lost the account already. Can't get any worse telling the boss about her actions.

I worked for this woman for years in a previous location. And she did the same thing for years.......never returned calls.....humiliated me.....made me beg for a booking (which I eventually got). And it's not about they don't like my performance. I've been at that place for 21 years so disapproval doesn't even come into play here.

Some people just plain need to be told off so they don't do that to other people. I'm still ticked off about the whole thing. On Friday I'm going to drive to the location and confront her directly. If she's not there, I'll go to Administration and explain to them what's going on. People in the business world really need to grow up and do the job they were hired to do, and........do it CORRECTLY.

I'll keep you guys posted as to how it eventually turns out.
