[QUOTE="Bullitt1448, post: 17030360, member: 155102"] from my experience as a tech in the trade for 40ish years: It sounds like we are pretty similar actually. Good techs generally make poor managers, they put the work decisions ahead of the better business decisions. I went from the floor to management in the second largest truck leasing company. I found out during 11 years as a service manager that what they tell the folks on the floor and what is actually happening are often two different things. I won’t lie to my techs and to my knowledge never did. That led to some serious discussions with my bosses which in turn led me to leave on my own accord and I found work as a tech/Leadhand much more satisfying. I was headhunted by someone similar to what [USER=138337]@13COBRA[/USER] has offered you. Best decision I ever made. Way more money, much better work environment, I enjoyed that job and consider it the best job of my career. I retried from that company after 7 years because of health reasons not related to work. Never go into business with people that you know on a personal level, friends and money do not mix well. At one point in my career I interviewed with UPS, I declined the position, not saying you should. In your position, I would at least have a conversation with [USER=138337]@13COBRA[/USER]. [/QUOTE]
