[QUOTE="Crimson2v, post: 16316824, member: 85508"] That is great to hear! I would do sales if it was more stable, I love helping people find vehicles that suites them. Before our previous supervisor left he was training me after hours and whenever he was out or the lead tech was out he left me to run the shop by myself. I was responsible for keeping 6 guys and made sure they kept their productivity up and kept the shop flow rolling. I can appreciate that, the bad thing is that I do see when people are not doing their job and slacking but I can't do anything about it and it bothers me because our current supervisor does nothing about it. I would not have any problem cracking down on some folks because I can't stand it when people are getting paid by the hour and aren't pulling their weight. That makes sense and honestly that has crossed my mind. Having to fire someone would be tough but if it needed to be done to better the business then it has to be done. I have identified some inefficiencies at my current job but they don't listen, they don't take well to recommendations from us mechanics. Would you ask what traits they are looking for prior to the interview or during? That's probably what I will have to do unless I wait until the upper management retires but they already have their successors lined up. Thank you for you input, that is what I was thinking and this is the reason I went back to school to get my degree. I wanted a leg up on the competition if I ever wanted to get into management.
