Complaint Review: Bob Lanphere Enterprises - Beaverton Oregon

I'm putting this situation with Lanphere to rest. It's interesting how you see and understand your anger and feelings through a blog like this. It's also helps you realize how spilling info regardless of your feelings is probably not the best course of action. I had actually written the report only after weeks of non returned emails and calls from Lanphere. No one within the organization felt the need to communicate in any way about what was occurring. As in the first text, after years of service I actually felt almost part of the group in many ways and I guess assumed entitlement to certain courtesies. Regardless, I am a professional and understand business is business, but have always felt that business is nothing but personal. It's how you treat others and the respect it demands of you. Regardless, I do not make it a habit to badmouth anyone in my line of work and in hindsight, regardless of emotion or situation, I should have kept my feelings private. Anyone who has dealt with me personally or in business knows my character and who I am. If my view of the situation offended anyone within the Lanphere group I apologize for making it public. I do appreciate the communication we had this weekend.

I guess that's one way to look at it!The issue I have is not with you, but the way Lanphere handled the issue. You made your decision, influenced or not. However you justify it or explain it away to yourself is up to you. I had years of relations with Lanphere before you came along...I would not expect you to grasp this company's devotion to that organization. You have an interesting member name....Vengeance. Merriam Webster defines it as this...: punishment inflicted in retaliation for an injury or offense : Enough said?

I am one of the ex-employees of the "small business" that was mentioned earlier. I am writing this on my own free will without the Lanphere Organization's knowledge. Yes, I was approached by a couple of employees of the Lanphere organization in reference to employment with them. It is a common thing in my prior line of work. I was offered a position in just about every dealership that I serviced. I never even considered it until problems arose. The problems came from within the small business that I previously worked at. Internal struggles, conflicts with management, and lack of work is why three of the former employees left, not because we were swooned with lavish salaries and ballooned expectations. As a matter of fact, we went over with the same pay-plan as we had with the small company, but with the guarantee that we would have dealership inventory to work. Nothing more. In our line of work, that's all you want, is steady work.
