I think hbliam has a good point.  Open up down the block and the customers will run from him to you. 

[weemonster]

Hbliam  is right.
You've made all of us understand the situation and some of us a really slow ;o) . So have a go at telling him.
Tell him like it is but in a tactful way.
Knowing his intentions might help.
I've got pretty good at steering bosses in my direction. Just let them think its their idea.

With the economy the way it is right now home improvements isn't realy the game to be in as a company owner or self employed conrtactor.

Sorry to hear about this shitty turn of events BP, I realy hope you can make things work whichever way it blows.

Hey BP- my old man is(was) in the glass biz and got laid off in March. He was in sales. He is up against 135 other applicants to fill a glass sales job at a local manufacturer here in MN now. Just wanted to throw that out there to put things in perspective before you say anything to the boss man. My dad has 20+ years in the biz and is having a helluva time getting back in. Granted he is 60, but there just are not that many glass jobs out there.

BP, i'm sorry your job is going in the shitter - i know the feeling

hey man, sorry to hear this....



If it all comes crashing down, have you thought of hitting up some of the vendors for a job....if you've run a clean ship, one of them would probably be willing to bring you on.

I'll go to lunch with him today, and it'll be interesting to hear what he has to say.

He is known for being forgetfull, he makes up things, wants them implemented, then forgets about them.It's made for a very thick employee hand book.

At lunch, he'll be reminded that there are now, more pages in the handbook than employees.

Late yesterday, he brought over one of the parent company's employees, Tammy ( one of their salesmans assistants), she stated with the company before I was transferred over here. I see her almost daily, we've all been in the same room together many-o-times.  When she and he were here yesterday, he introduced me to her, as if he thought we've never met.  

He's the type of guy who's overly friendly and nice. It comes across as being fake (in a used car salesman kinda way), but once you get to know him, you see that he's actually nice, and not fake.... but it all still seems robotic. I personally think it's his way of dealing with everybody, because he does not "read" people well. He'll be reminded of that at lunch today (tactfully)

If I get demoted today, depending on how my pay is effected, I may walk.
If I get fired today, I'll shake his hand and wish him luck, then quietly explain to him why he'll need it. Then go down the street and tell my former competitor, expect to see a lot of business coming his way. I'll also contact my main supplier,tell them of my departure, and talk business. They run small satellite stores in Nevada and California, and have stayed out of Bakersfield as a consideration to my store. I'll let him know how my boss has been killing the business, and let him know I'll be more than happy run one of his stores here in town.

It's gonna be a fun day.

That sounds like a pretty solid plan.


Best of Luck!
