I used to recently work for Bluegreens marketing department. I saw firsthand lots of things in the company under the wire. First those airline tickets are sometimes a "fat chance".... A presentation is normally involved and people are not informed of this fact. The attorney general had a right to file suit. The company just recently received an award from the Better Business Bureau. Did someone not do their homework? More importantly is the recent company news. John Maloney (CEO) has relinquished info. that about half of the companies sales centers are shutting down... I'm sure employees are thrilled! Thousands out of a job for the betterment of the company? I'm sure severence pay is out of the question... LMAO!! I'm not a biter employee just know some interesting things....

I worked for Bluegreen as well on the resort end. We had a nice resort that was part of a group of resorts that Bluegreen took over management of when they purchased Resort Destinations International(RDI) not to be confused with RCI. Our owners were happy with the way things were going at the time. Suddenly we had Sales reps in trying to talk our owners into converting their units for points which would open up space for the vacation club owners who had points. I had many owners who regretted makning that decision because although they were told they could usee the points any time they wanted and go wherever they wanted many of the people I spoke to could not get a reservation when they wanted one. Point owners were also lead to believe that all Bluegreen properties were of the same quality; but they had many high end resorts and also older resorts that points owners were totally unhappy with after spending many thousands of dollars to get the points. I truly feel for all of my friends at the resort that are still dealing with the reprecussions of poor sales practices. Good Luck to them and the owners

Daily Horoscope for June 19

Taurus

If you're a typical Taurean you enjoy a steady routine, but this is one of those days when you really benefit from living in a more spontaneous way. So forget about your usual schedule and try to ring the changes. Even some small departures from your usual routine will make a big difference to your mood, so don't imagine that it has to be all or nothing.
