Breaking NEWS - GammaMotors Terminated SAM

FPenvy · 10-05-2015, 01:12 PM

sooooooo can I make a quick poll?

who here thinks they actually brought him in, used him for a bit of knowledge, and then fired him?

and who thinks someone (maybe one of the faithful who still preach the GTM name here) mentioned the other thread and hatred over Sam's presence and "Gamma" went and "fired" him right then and there to maybe draw some customers back thinking that the cancer is gone.....

personally i'm purely business minded and option B seems to be what really happened.

I think they did before they handed him off. It makes sense. It was bad PR for them especially last week from this forum and MyG37.com. No bueno!

I honestly think it was both. They brought him into the company to finish the v3 although knowing it would provide some rough feedback, but would make everyone in the communities take a breath and be like okay now that Sam's been fired for whatever reason it makes their company look responsible and that it will conduct none of the same actions that Sam has in the past.

That is the look that it gives anyway and its honestly a genius marketing scheme, because they get the whole new version of the TT system, but seem like they are a great company for Canning Sam

As to comment on FP's last post, it is sad to have the burden of Sam and GTM's screw up but honestly with the fact that they got the new technology out of Sam and all the customers that are unhappy, I see that incentive to buy the v3 kit for a bit more is going to come up. It gives them an opportunity to prove their worth and product to people of whom have been wronged.

It's true.

Dear Todd,

I am the owner and CEO of Gamma Motors. I was made aware of your contributions on the community’s forum and I appreciate your standing up for what is right.

You may have already heard, due to the issues the community has with Sam we decided, for the best interest of the business, to terminate Sam’s employment with the company. that was tough decision due to his knowledge and experience of our product line. We may use his services on an as needed basis, again for the best interest of our customers for continuity’s sake.

I appreciate you guys giving Gamma an opportunity. We have ready kits to ship including SuperCharger Stage 2 kits.

Regards,
Amin

If anything he will just be brought in as a consultant as needed, far far away from any business operations with Gamma.

soooo this is like saying they may stick it in you raw.......

but might may actually spit on it first?

SouthArk370Z · 10-05-2015, 01:54 PM

I'd give it at least a few months before spending any money on their products. I'd let others test the waters and see what their reviews look like. Caveat emptor and all that rot. But I've gotten pretty cynical in my old age, so YMMV.

GZ3 · 10-05-2015, 02:01 PM

I applaud GAMMA, this was a smart move and a JUST move. The community is strong when we stand together and having "SAM the SCAM" employed there made for bad business image. That alone would steer business away... Im certain that this thread made it to their eyes.

jaytirbhaw · 10-05-2015, 02:03 PM

Almost feel bad for him but then I remember the hundreds of people out thousands of dollars. Well nonetheless, hope he learns from his mistakes.

Now, let's see what Gamma can do.

vividracing · 10-05-2015, 02:25 PM

Working out the deal Sam was giving us to make sure it holds true with the new CEO. Who knows if what Sam offered us off on the next 6 kits was approved by Amin.

I'll update my sales thread as soon as I know anything.

vividracing · 10-05-2015, 03:28 PM

Update. My discount on the next 6 kits are authorized. Waiting on a new price sheet and then I should be all ready to give out estimates.

I also addressed the warranty on the current supercharger kit I have in stock and will confirm it will come with the same warranty as the V3 kits available now for anyone interested.

Thank you for your patience everyone.

birdman71 · 10-05-2015, 03:44 PM

Very Nice Todd!
Wish I had the extra

right now because I would love to honestly have one of those twin supercharger kits if still available.

batboyvaj · 10-05-2015, 03:54 PM

Not sure if I can believe this. I would be more willing to hand over cash if Gamma can make all the people who have paid up front for the V3 and other parts that are owed whole again.

Everyone has a right to protest. However I think the company needs to start making money in order to negotiate with those who are outed.

For the rest of you, if you didn't catch my posts in the other thread:

For anything not immediately ready to ship I will only require a deposit. Otherwise payment can come via PayPal, Debit or Credit card paid to Vivid Racing, not Gamma.

Just waiting on the price sheet and will then start replying to PMs requesting pricing.

Rusty · 10-05-2015, 04:22 PM

So, officially Sam is gone. But will retain his services as a consultant.

Hmmmm sounds like what I'm going to do next spring when I retire.
