    John Givens no longer at CC

    I called CC this morning to followup on an order. I was told John Givens no longer works there. What gives?

          Based upon PN information, could they be down to two or three in their Customer Service area. That is not very many for a company of their size, longevity, and international sells (G.Britain, Ireland, Canada, Japan, ...). It also depends on how the assorted tasks are distributed internally. Also, let us not forget their dealer network. Part of any dealer (retail establishment) responsibility is customer service. Corr Cr's network obviously played a MAJOR part in their 4th JD Power award. ER

            ER, thats an interesting point... one reason why I was wondering how many people are down there. Here's a question though, do the CC Customer Service people deal personally w/ the dealers and their "complaints" as well? While we were buying our boat and had some major (3rd party) issues, NOT OUR DEALER'S FAULT AT ALL, I felt it was Us and our Dealer vs. Orlando. I just think its interesting to see if the dealers talk to the same people we talk to when both of us are fighting for the same thing.... but thats just me...

              John's departure is bad news in my book. He, like Jeff Warner, is a great guy. I'll miss him. It's especially bad news for those of us that don't have a dealer in their area.

              Maybe I'll look at a Malibu.

                John Givens is gone%#@%?? I heard Damians not in charge of customer service any more -- whats goin on at CC??

                New people coming in left and right without a clue as to what CC's all about and the people that built CC are getting tossed out like garbage.

                I'm still ticked that my dealer tells me I can't buy a 2007 with a right hand prop cause they went to that brand new little vdrive which can only use a left hand prop. I don't want a left hand prop -- if I did I'd buy a Malibu !!

                Sooooo it looks like I'm going to have to leave the CC family and by a Centurion -- I called them and they'll build me a boat with a right hand prop.

                  Why is a right hand prop so important to you?

                      what gives?

                      John is just one of many whom have been axed recently. I am another. Why? We have no idea. I have the recent info that Terry McNew is going to go back to Sea Ray. Wonder why? I will say this. If you are going to axe someone you should provide them with adequete information as to the reason. Hopefully we all collect our "adequate" unemployment checks and know that they are not too much less if any, than our paychecks were.

                        Umm.. Hi, hello, welcome to the site... You just got "axed" as well. Are you admitting to have worked at CC? If so, that'd be a first for this site I think.... I'm not so sure how high CC would look on one their former employees just getting out and is now ranting on them... Not a good image IMHO.... then again, I've never gotten a high job at the greatest boat company, so take what I just said there with a grain of salt...

                          Hey I'm not even being ugly, they are the best boats ever. I love that company. They for some strange reason didnt like me after over a year of being a perfect employee. I am not out to bad mouth at all. Just to say that something strange is going on

                            Abundiga - Do you really think he cares what CC thinks at this point. He was fired without enough knowledge as to why.? Most people would be "ranting' much worse then that.

                              dba4life-honestly I wouldn't know how to react to being fired to a company I appreciate--I've never been in that position before, which is why I said "take it with a grain of salt."

                              Anyway, former, sorry if I game the wrong impression, I didn't mean to call you out, it just seemed a little weird, first post, dissapointment with the company, first one to admit a relationship with them, etc... sorry... What position did you have there?
