Sad news from SCI

I don't know how many on here knew this, but I just found out this morning from another smartie, that Matt Burke is no longer with SCI. I am very sorry to hear this. Matt sold me my car. Not only was he a great salesman, but I considered him a friend as well. He will be missed. Evidently Matt's e-mails are being forwarded to Walter, he left me a voicemail last night wanting to talk to me about an e-mail I had sent. Have not had the opportunity to talk to him yet.

I got that email too, but from my understanding he just went to a different department and isn't the parts guy.

i heard about it last week as well. bummer......we really like Matt. i think the email said something to the affect he had been 'reassigned'(?). maybe he went to the MB store?

Matt was the one to take my wife on her test drive and also on my drive a couple weeks ago when i had a Friday off. we both really looked forward to dealing with him when our smart came in. now, WHO? Walter? Max?

we are bummed, for sure.

Matt has not left sci

I am friends with Matt on another networking site and sent him a message to see if I could get more info on his departure or job title and he replied. Here's the conversation:

ME: Are you still working @ scI? Someone posted in the forum that you're no longer there and I was under the understanding that you just got transferred to a different department.
Can you clear that up for us?

MATT: Yes Mace you guys are correct I'm still heavily involved in the operations of scI. However, I'm not involved with the customer interface anymore. Joe Taylor and I did switch departments for the betterment of the entire company. I hope this clears the air a little bit. Take it easy Mace!!

I'm still bummed that we won't get to deal with Matt, he is a blast to talk to, but I'm glad that he's still with scI.

ok, so exactly what IS Matt doing? Joe Taylor is the smart center "Parts Manager" according to their website, so does that mean that Matt is the Parts Manager at MB but still oversees Joe and the parts dept at SCI?
