Ending my employment at Great America

by **greatamerica2003** on April 26th, 2007, 9:58 am

After seven seasons, three of them as a full-time employee, I have chosen to end my employment with Six Flags. I will be starting a career in the railroad industry.

Most of you know that I was an employee, and some of you even knew who I was.

The park was very good to me, and I have much respect for it and the employees there.

Adios, Great America

The Great America Scenic Railway will never be the same.

I didn't know who you were, but i'm sure you were a great employee! Good luck with the new career!

Now maybe the railroad will run.... :lol:

by **RagingBullFan** on April 26th, 2007, 4:42 pm

Yeah it'll run since YOU aren't touching it anymore! (Runs and hides at Go-Karts)

Damn straight... Hopefully my new baby will run like a champ!!!

It sounds like you had a great seven year. Three years as a full time. That's awsome! Have fun, and good luck in the railroad industry. Amtrak is awsome.

Wise choice, good luck with your new career!

Heh, The railroad valleyed because of you. Go hide in your shack.

As a send off could you send the Scenic Railway to Eau Claire and pick me up for opening day so I don't have to drive?

I would be the coolest dork (yay oxymoron) riding into the park on the scenic railway.

The trains from the Santa Clara park are for sale in Florida for around $400,000 if I remember correctly. That might be a better option.

great now u will be makin more than $0.50 under the current minimum wage, which is a violation of that new liberal law

by **RagingBullFan** on July 19th, 2007, 7:57 am

Sorry, but your post makes little sense.

As a Full-Time Employee he was making around $15/hr.

The minimum wage rules in Illinois is $7.50/hr, which SFGAm does abide by. They can pay under that amount if you are under 18 or are on a 100 hour probationary period.

well i worked more than 100hrs and was gettin only $7 an hr

by **batcave** on July 19th, 2007, 5:25 pm

The minimum wage was only 6.50 untill just recently.

Ah I found the caveat in the state law....

Quoting directly from the law....

New employees (first 90 days of employment) and
employees under age 18 may be paid up to 50 cents
less per hour.

So if you worked less than 90 days, they can pay $7.00 still.

If you don't like it, find employment elsewhere.
