Why My Mood Is

Sue the mother *******. If it is in your contract with them that they own the stuff, you are somewhat screwed. But, if not sue the bastards.

Apparently my clients are calling and canceling in droves!!....YAY...



They won the battle...they will not win th war!!

Things are looking a thousand times brigher today. I acecpted a postion with a large indenpendant firm today.



I am excited and the future again looks bright....



P.S. I wrote more about this in my blog both today and over the past few days....

yes it is!!!!

They gave me a BS reason....LOL



My opinion...this company has a reputation for not liking women to grow big agencies.

Thanks wacky...

Sorry about that.Its like being married to your job then getting a divorce, for know reason at all.

Ive had several suggest this could be just that findinme....I had become very comfortable in my agency. The company I wrote for is small potatoes in the insurance market. Am now takling with one of the biggest there is...perhaps it is an opportuntiy after all....

I know you're angry and hurting but I was just reading in a book called 'The Path To Transformation" and came across something that made me think of you and your situation. Here is the passage:

"It often takes a personal crisis of some kind to catalyze real change and growth in our lives. Looking back an event such as a death of a loved one,loss of relationship or loss of a job, ...has led to greater understanding and opportunities in your life. Times of chaos and uncertainty can lead to new doors opening especially when we are able to look for the growth opportunities in the situation rather than being overwhelmed by outside circumstances. It is the nature of the human soul to constantly move forward into greater challenge, expansion and awareness. We have simply outgrown an old way of relating to the world. An old way of being is dissolving, making way for a new more expanded, and more conscious way. So we may lose a job, or relationship because it is too limiting; it would not allow us to expand in the direction we need to go."

I hope this is the opening of a new door for you. Good luck in your transformation

This is horrible! If you're a believer in karma however, it's going to bite them in the butt and bad!



I hope the support you're receiving on EP is helping you through this though.

I'm sorry to hear that! :(

Im sorry too Lexus, what a betrayal :(

Strength to you in whatever you decide to do. Good always wins over evil.

Im really sorry Lexus that is quite disgusting of them to do to be honest, I mean how are people supposed to get ahead when you put your everything into something and they can just walk along and take it without a care in the world.



Again I am so sorry -hug-

that is what i have been hearing babyblueeyes....cetainly thinking im going to check into exactly how it might or might not apply to me

By the way, in most states, noncompetes do not hold up in court. Also in some states, if you are "fired" they cannot enforce a noncompete as you have to be able to earn a living. Go to the web....you may be suprised as to your rights.

Hire a lawyer.....make it ugly for them......maybe you can get some compensation for this. I am in the same business....sounds like a company that begins with "F".

they are here boxing up my frickin life...GRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

Just read the rest of the posts. Sounds like you are already on it:)

I'm not that familiar with the insurance world so this may be a dumb question but..... Can you attack as a free agent? Go to the people you have built relationships with and take back the business or do it through another insurance company. You must have built some pretty good relationships over your tenure.

Lost sleep over it!? Well, who cares if he lost sleep, you lost your whole career~

I can see why you weren't in the frame of mind to write about this immediately; it's a betrayal and theft that encompasses so much time and energy and effort.



Of course, knowing how hard it is to keep a good woman (on a horse) down, they may well live to regret their decision; there is little doubt in my mind that you brought specific and tangible quality to their business that only shows up in balance sheets when its gone.



More power to you Lexus!!

there are non-compete rules if you quit and go to another company.....not sure how or if it applies in my situation...



but..going to find out.

I say do what "searchingformeaning" say...u still go their contacts, sweep them back to ur new company...that is if u didn't sign a contract preventing u from doing that...u don't want to double ur trouble now!

Can you woo your (now Shelter's) clients back and set them up with another insurance company?

Lexus, I am breaking my leaving vow to come here and give you a hug. OMG, hun, I am so sorry...but that doesn't fix it. If there is anything your EP family can do let us know....Hugs and prayers, CMR

I am sooo sorry! I would be so mad!! I detest people that use others!

i hope he can't sleep. ever.

pretty much my sentiment msterling....LOL

One of the guys that came to steal my world talked about his sleepless nights over this.



Sorry dude...I could care less if you cant sleep....



Msterling....insurance companies on the whole yes pretty much suck. If in all truth it werent for the good hearted agents of the world it would be a lot worse...

The moral injustice of that is ******. Hope they can sleep at night.
