Griffs Jobs

When I let go 2 of the sales staff members I inherited for legitimate
reasons including insubordination and brought in my replacements game
was on.
The staff who had been at Crestec a long time took it in a way saying
who is this new guy firing our colleagues which I believe led to my
demise. Management is a tough job and if you are not in sync with the
sales force who are bringing in the cash flow your days are numbered
which was my case. Unfortunately, my General Manager who I heard
passed away a year after I was let go turned on me and sided with the
sales force which led to my termination. My multiple stop printing
journey was over for the most part except for a few more brief rides. It
became pretty clear to me after this latest episode that I needed to run
my own show instead of being a cast member in a show with little or no
control of your future.
Not a Job - Independent Agent Century 21 Sparow Long Beach,
CA
After I was let go from Crestec I studied for my real estate license passed
the test and became an agent in my wife’s office. In my 1st year I was
named #7 out of 70 agents in the office. I must admit it was great to
have my wife help me learn the business and having her as a mentor that
helped me tremendously. It was great to be in a position where you were
no longer in a political match and watching your back. As an independent
real estate agent, you were your own boss pretty much. I thought
my printing job seeker days would be over after I set sail as a real estate
agent.
That was not the case. I was doing great in real estate but being on
straight commission I was tempted to get a bit more security what was I
thinking and saw an ad to be a Sales Manager in a Yahoo job posting. I
thought okay why not. Yep I got hired at the interview and put my real
estate license on hold to take a job again. I was like an old ballplayer
placed on waivers and then being picked up again. I had been to this
rodeo before.
“By trusting Christ with our future, we can better deal with our past and live a more productive
present. It is unhealthy to harbor unrealistic dreams living in a future that will never come
about. But it is very healthy for us to anchor our new life and recovery from jobs, relationships
that went sideways in the certainty that Christ is coming again. The best laid plans for careers
sometimes don’t always work out but your faith is everlasting.
