AETNA MEMORIES AS A CLAIMS ADJUSTER 1965-1977

I distinctly recall my first day teaching raw recruits in claims.
I cited an experience worth repeating.




I was assigned to settle matters with this ex-Marine.. He looked me in the eyes and gruffed the following "IT'S EITHER KILL OR BE KILLED!" My class of recruits laughed with approval. I was on my way working in the Home Office of Mother Aetna.I lasted 22 month then couldn't stand the heat in Corporate Politics. BINGO. I QUIT.


Harvey Mackay of "SWIM WITH THE SHARKS"  succinctly relayed to me WHEN SWIMING IN SHARK INFESTED WATERS ALWAYS TO BE READY TO TAKE THE FIRST BITE!" Harvey is my Main Man.




Vice President Dick Cheney said to me" Bob, The World Is a Bad Place out there.."
 So we have warnings but do we heed them? As I see it life is all about people. Are you an Introvert, an extrovert or an ambivert? look it up!


I think these chestnuts of wisdom can be their weight in gold...ahem.. I deal in gold! More importantly I deal in human nature. Be a friend and you are a friend.Be a bastard or a bitch and the world can read your signals.




It is close to Midnight yet I had to get this off my chest. NYTOL!


Sincerely yours,
ROBERT LOUIS POTVIN
