I hope that everyone had a great Thanksgiving. I will skip the subject all together.
I am working on my Christmas card list and talked to a GF that lives in OK. Well, we got onto the subject of a place that we used to work at in Tulsa called CFS. It was a debt collection company and it was an absolutely awesome place to work. The training we got was extensive and hard as hell. The job was a good one, there were tons of perks. The hours were awesome, there were company trips, he flew the WHOLE company and their families to FL, Insurance was $1 a month for the WHOLE family, there was free child care for the people that worked there. It was too good to be true, and in the end thats the way it ended up being. Everyone got laid off and supposedly the VP was doing naughty things. I do not quite understand all the details just remember us all losing our jobs. In the end I just did not care, we ended up in TX so really my life was not impacted too much. There were quite a few lawsuits and I guess we were all automatically involved and ended up with like $300. Which was nice since I did nothing for it. Then a couple of years ago I got a check for like $2 which was rather funny. Anyways, the reason I mention all this is I really think that the guy that owned the company was behind it all. My girlfriend and I were talkin about it and now he is a MOTIVATIONAL speaker... he was acquited on 57 accts of whatever. Again, I do not remember all the details I did not keep up with it. You can have him come speak at your business for like $15,000 for an hour and a half and he is now a BILLIONAIRE. Amazing, all of it if you ask me. HERE is his website. Oh, well, no biggy to me either way. Just amazing how things turn out. HERE is another story that was in INC about him. And HERE is an article on the verdict on what happened. Here is one last article.
