[QUOTE="FJohnny, post: 16064866, member: 191643"] Have you thought of going on your own in the same business? Work is a lot more satisfying when you know your efforts are benefiting you and your family more than they benefit a couple of extremely weird brothers. From what you have described you would be very hard for them to replace (ie. fire or dismiss). I am not suggesting quitting cold turkey and starting a shop. The slower path is less risky (but longer hours). Get to know the customers if you don't already. If you have the ability and a place to do it, start to take on small jobs at an attractive price outside of regular work hours. Bring your tools and do jobs at the customer's house if you don't have a suitable place. People with vehicles that are beyond warranty love to 'have a guy' that's honest and competent. Word of mouth is a wonderful thing and you may just find your real path to job satisfaction working on your own. If you are really good, though, be warned that you might quickly become too busy. Be ready to up your hourly rate accordingly for new customers! When the customer base is big enough to justify it, time to start the shop! Here's hoping you find happiness. All the best to you and your family. [/QUOTE]
