**IntegraXTR** · 06-23-2006, 12:49 PM

yeh this sucks, they gave us a 2 week notice like thats enough time to find another job, its like droppin a huge bomb. But the unemployment idea doesn't sound bad, but I prefer to spend my time working.

**IntegraXTR** · 06-23-2006, 12:50 PM

looks like we may be having our last wendy's meal together.

**IntegraXTR** · 06-23-2006, 12:55 PM

^^^ and 1 of the best/realest managers I've worked for so far. And of course chris too.

**BABY J** · 06-23-2006, 01:09 PM

Funny that Da Kidd mentions Summit, which is the reason they're closing that store anyway. Summit hurt every1 when they rolled into town. People are literally driving up from FL to shop/see the new store. Got some friends @ Godfather who are getting the pink slip too. Good luk bro.

**IntegraXTR** · 06-23-2006, 01:19 PM

not sure if its summit but this does totally blows, anyone hiring?

**v3rd1g0** · 06-23-2006, 01:27 PM

lol bite the bullet and go to starbucks. Great company to work for. benifits, easy promotions(i've been working 1 month and I just got promoted to a supervisor. usually takes 6 months tho). lots of hours, and you can work at many locations. i've worked at 5 locations in one month from picking up shifts.

**IntegraXTR** · 06-23-2006, 01:34 PM

I know this is not professional but whats the pay rate? I have a family to support dude.

**Scrilla** · 06-23-2006, 02:30 PM

Damn, Smyrna closing before Norcross?

**BLk92DA** · 06-23-2006, 02:34 PM

**Julio** · 06-23-2006, 03:36 PM

I dont know about summit killing business, I think this has been an old rumour, nopi closing stores to go to online ordering or some crap like that. I mean they have been closing stores for the last couple of years or so, Alteast it seems like.

**IntegraXTR** · 06-23-2006, 03:41 PM

whatever the reason is, it sucks, only a 2 week notice to find a new job

**SPOOLIN** · 06-23-2006, 03:57 PM

LOL

**JDMBeau** · 06-23-2006, 03:54 PM

damn that sucks, IMO i think it hurts the north side. at least for me, cause i dont like to order shit off the net, it is nice to roll in somewhere and just pick something up. and im not gonna drive to savannah or norcross, i guess there always is forrest park.

i can hook yall up with pest control jobs here in rome LOL

**Vteckidd** · 06-23-2006, 04:25 PM

Nopi has been going downhill for A LONG TIME. the writing has been on the wall for YEARS. THey are too far behind the times.

They have no idea what is popular, what sells, what is the "hot items". They were more interested in selling taiwan #1 intakes than GROWING their business. Thats why i left. I used to sell the shit out of Rocket Motorsports, Omni, Kteller, CP etc when i worked AT NOPI. Customers wanted something , and if we didnt have it, id reccomend somwhere else or they would buy from me privately.

NOPI needs to aggresively market themselves, this demographic changes RAPIDLY, and they are too slow to keep up. If they arent making 20%, they dont want to carry it. My philosophy has always been, sell everything you can, becuase you never know what the customer is going to buy next.

IE Sell Omnipower. so what you may not make 20% , but youll make SOMETHING. Lets say that customer goes "wow, they gave me a good deal, and i can get this suspension locally". then lets say 4 weeks later he decides he wants a Competition CLutch. He remembers NOPI carries it, and he wants to come get it, we sell it, an NOPI gets another sale WAY OVER 20% markup (cause i know what they pay for them)

this business is about VOLUME. sell 100 items an make 1$. dont sell 1 Item an try to make $100.

thats why i left. Besides, the parts business is DEAD. LABOR is where the money will ALWAYS be

**RUFFIAN** · 06-23-2006, 06:50 PM

that sux ass. are you guys looking for just parts jobs or anything to get by? I deliver to a lot of dealerships . if anyone is hiring, I will post it next week. by law you should be elligable for unemployment.

By law? I wouldnt really say that, You have to meet certain requirements though. If you don't, More then likely you won't get any. Is really a catch 22.

Anyways, Try to hustle for the next 2 weeks to find a job, I know is hard, but is not impossible.
Dont settle for Un-employment, Thats not really the answer.

But def good luck..
