Assumed I still live at home with my parents because I’m choosing to be in the car business instead of doing something directly tied to my degree. What the fuck gives people the right to say shit like that? She about shit a brick when she found out I have a nice townhouse in NoVa and have been married for 4 years now.

Some people are just assholes. Nothing you can do other than kindly suggest they crawl into said asshole and then go about your day.

Let me guess: Baby boomer.

They think we’re all stupid, feckless, incompetent, lazy, losers. I hate their constant disrespect. They failed as parents in most cases and now blame us for that.

Strangely, it has grown worse over the years. When I was just starting out (I’m a very early Millennial that did very well for himself early on), they were far more accepting and treated us far better than they do now...

I lived with my parents for a few months, with a paid for M3 sitting in the driveway. I’m not sure if that makes it better or not.

It’s even worse if you’re not following their desired path. If I was still trying to make my way using my degree making half what I make now, they’d love me. Mostly because I’d still be their dancing monkey.

The Boomers had everything handed to them on a platter, we had the world’s highest standard of living, strong unions, schools, affordable housing, social mobility. Everything.*

But we are the lazy ones for wanting the same things and opportunities. Yet they continue to deny us any advantage while they are still in charge.

*Unless you were black, a woman, or anything other than a white male. Hmm... sounds vaguely familiar for some reason.

I also have a degree but have a career that has little to do with it. Some people aren’t impressed with what I do, but the only feedback I need is the number on my paystub.

That’s a really weird assumption. I can’t even follow the “logic” on that one.

To be fair, I wouldn’t be able to stay in the car business if I didnt move back in with my parents.

Also two of my coworkers have had their leases repossesed in the past 2 months.

People would lose their minds if they knew what I made in the car business

The X1 is staying for sure. I’m thinking about transferring out of my 430

Rick Hendrick anything sucks dude.

Also they stole everybody’s commission check this month. They just claimed minimum wage subsidies, wiped out your check, and are refusing to show the accounting records.

Every Hendrick dealership plays fast and loose with their accounting as far as paying sales staff. Your salary, commission, spiffs, and bonuses are all heavily intertwined so that you always owe back anything you make over your base bi-weekly $650. Earn a bonus? An equal amount is deducted from your salary for the month. Work more than 40 hours a week? They pay you such that you ge equivalent minimum wage hourly, but anything over 40 gets taken out of your commission check at the end- usually about $300 a month. Except this month, they just took everything from about 6 people.

I sell about 6-8 cars a month because we have no traffic, and I’m lucky if $1,700 winds up in my bank account.
