[QUOTE="1wild-horse, post: 16065625, member: 84197"] Started my own shop of course! Not gonna lie, it's a challenge. And that 70-80 hours you used to flag turns into half that by the time you do paperwork, talk to customers, order parts and do it all. Money will be scarce right away trying to build an account, but I have found there is all sorts of work to be had. Since quitting, I have wore a lot of hats. Cook, farmer, construction, property manager but what the hell. It's been better than being stuck in the shop all day everyday. What's really strange is I've worked everyday doing something, but never felt that "I have a job" weight hanging on me. See, **** that place. Did the same 5 days and rotate Saturdays. 3 weeks off a year max. After the vacation was gone they wanted to harass you about being gone. Upper management has no idea what it takes to put up the numbers you do just to be close to that 6 figure goal you have, so they don't hold middle management's feet to the fire making them produce. And they don't give a shit about your money, they will **** off and let you down. With no support staff, or a shitty one at that, you can't reach your goals so might as well do it all yourself for all the profit. Damn I don't miss that situation. Not mention, techs are the first ones everyone in the industry comes hunting for when they need money. If it's not the dealer coming up with some new ingenious pay plan to rob you, the customer doesn't want to pay the book time because you did in less time than the 3 hrs it was supposed to take. Let's not forget about the manufacturers. Trying to save a few bucks on those 3 million recalled units by paying half of what their hotshot recall should pay... Dammit, think I'm going to have to drink all day today now to get over it again! Lol lol, j/k [/QUOTE]
