kevbone Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 Fair enough. It use to be a good place to work at in the old days I was told. I just got in at the tail end of the good days. I started in 1996. It was the good old days, it was before big brother came and knocked on the door. They got over 300 applications a month and hired less than 1%. It was when it was cool to say i worked there. I left because I kept asking for a raise and I got the "its not in the budget" BS. I put my notice in and was called into the office that day and offered a whole $1 an hour more to stay. I told the manager "I thought it was not in the budget". She had no comment for that statement. That was 2004. Larry and I worked together for about a month. I feel your pain Lash...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I don't feel much pain no more because 'tincture of time' is the great healer, not to mention memory loss, and other things become more of a priority: like getting a job or making one up. Anyway, it seems there are a lot worse things going on in the world than working at REI, isn't there?
