re: I'm in real need of some advice please

Ok - I got you. Keep in mind people can get a job and then get older and do not want to be there anymore and you are locked in - and you have lost 10 years of contact building in Tenn.

Just something to keep in mind - people like to come home. Home field advantage helps down the road. Family members and good friends are important to some.

But enough of that I just wanted to toss that old man wisdom out there.

If that's the case tell them they can call you at home and honor you Feb commitment from Nashville

Eta don't take that as me telling you what to do that is something you have to decide but if you want an honest opinion from reading your posts here it sounds like you have made a decision and just can't pull the trigger. If that's the case do what you have to do and deal eith whatever comed from it. Again good luck

Bounce dawg.

If home is calling, go home and tidy things up with the lady, play it right and you won't have to spend the winter in MPLS, and you can get back rock solid with her and close deals with a bounce in your step.

One of my best buddies moved up there to MPLS for his baby mama this summer. It's easier for him to work remote and do his career than it was for her in Miami. She wanted to be back close to her family for help with the kiddo. I keep warning him to trade in his BMW and get a 4WD again and prepare to freeze his balls off. I think Mid December he's gonna understand.

If it's real deal true love, nothing trumps that.

Some solid advice in here.

I think I'm just gonna talk to my boss and be up front with him in that I'm not staying up here any longer than we agreed to, but that if there is no chance at getting a middle Tennessee territory, then I'm going to have to leave for another opportunity. I bet they figure something out in a hurry.

Thanks yall. CtotheV where you been man?

Here's my take, and take it with a grain of salt as I'm still somewhat bitter over being screwed in a similar situation.

They're the ones that bailed on your agreement, and then they didn't have the decency to tell you. You had to pry it out of them. To me, you no longer owe them honoring your commitment, though I would understand if you still feel obligated to do so.

My situation several years ago. First job out of college, and job was going great. They offer me a temporary assignment in a city I had no interest in permanently residing. They told me it would only be 2 months, so I agreed. One month in they told me things had changed and it would be a permanent assignment. 3 months later, they eliminated the position and I was laid off. My original position was not eliminated and had just been filled a few weeks prior. This was 15 years ago, and yes I'm still bitter. My advice is to look out for yourself and never fully trust your employer.

OP, you could come to NWA and work in real estate sales/leasing.

Sounds like you have options and a strong commitment with your SO. A much stronger commitment than you've received from your current employer.

I can't really disagree with this, but I guess I'm just jaded and cynical after being in the corporate business world for over 15 years now.

I get ya. I have just made almost all the mistakes and bad decisions one can make in my almost 50 years on the planet and just don't want others to go through some of the shite storms I caused myself to go through.

Update:

Talked to my district manager last night. He told me he doesn't see anything coming open even remotely close to Nashville in a minimum of a year.

So I emailed the agency that already offered me a position today asking to talk again in more detail. Plus I have a phone interview today too.

I'm gonna try to be home by Christmas. Turns out my manager was starting to look for metro territories in other states. Obviously her new job makes that impossible right now. And I've thought since day 1 that I was returning to Nashville. I wouldn't have accepted the position if they'd have told me Nashville was a 0% chance.

Thanks
