Chapter Twelve: Workers' Consternation

Adam really starts to love his job. His customers appreciate him, and he appreciates them. Adam, Derrik, and Mike work hard together every day on more upscale moves. Many customers feel awe toward Adam because he can lift things they can't. One day in mid-November, Jed gets really angry at the workers. None of the men are trying hard enough to keep the customers' and the company's possessions from being damaged. He fires one guy, so Adam decides he wants to buckle down and do even a better job than he has been. Jed really only cares about making money. The previous manager, Sherman, truly cared about the movers and their well-being and happiness. Sherman made Fast Company fun and desirable. It isn't like that anymore. This goes to show that having the right attitude can change work ethic completely. Sherman motivated the movers, while Jed chastises them. Adam instantly feels accepted at Fast Company when the other movers tease him about his extremely short shorts. He finally feels like he belongs, which makes him want to work harder. He and Derrik throw Mike off their moving team and are now working together better than ever. Adam begins to search for a roommate and a new apartment so that he can move out of Mickey's house. He finds Bubble Gum, and his search is done.

This chapter again stresses the fact that a positive and determined attitude is the most important part of building success.
