my guess is that this company somewhat churns and burns through under thirty year old sales people like wacky. wacky-how old and how long had people with the same position as you, been with the company? i also remember wacky talking about some people being fired right after he showed up so my hunch is that might not be that uncommon of a thing there. it just happens there.
i also agree that it was a horrible job of hiring, if in five months in they suddenly became surprised with what they were getting out of our guy. if there is one person in the world that is an open book, it's wacky. he'll land on his feet though and this was a good experience for him in general.
