It's all good, Chris didn't get as bad of a deal as he makes it sound. With the the benefits (401k, medical, dental etc, etc) he is making out pretty good. At least he gets to keep his job as a sales rep ( if he decides to stay). I am starting out with some low level position, and working up the ladder. I need to learn the ins and outs of the new techniques that have been developed, and let me tell you some of the stuff that we have been working on is going to change the industry.
Right now we are modifying that magnetic scraper to work with our own applications and will be designing our own version of it. I just got a shipment of 3 of them in yesterday and I already have them all taken apart so we should have a new and improved version of it for our own use pretty soon. We will not be making this tool for resale, sorry.
Along with this and the new chemical application technolgy that was recently developed, our competion will not stand a chance. Say what you will about us, but I know that all of you shop at Home Depot or step in to Starbucks for a coffee so if you are against large corporations, you are just a hypocrite.
By the way, we will be expanding in to your area very soon, so be ready.
