They called me and said they would fire the other guy if I came back. I went back for a couple years and when they picked up another car line they hired another guy, so I quit for good.

At the last job they were very reluctant to let me have a vacation. One of the 11 managers I had there tried to call me in when I was on a 1 week vacation. I was out riding so he sent a porter to my house to leave a note on the door asking me to come to work.
