Steve Mutter Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 This Lady sounds like a joke ! Is the rest of the dealership this dumb or is it just this Lady. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Clayton Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 She is definitely fuckin with Alex. I bet she sits around at night laughing her ass off at his expense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Browning Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 She is definitely fuckin with Alex. I bet she sits around at night laughing her ass off at his expense. Now THAT I could believe. Otherwise if this is true then this person needs to be dealt with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mchan68 Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 Alex, is this going to make you re-evaluate your decision to remain at this dealer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieselD Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 I would be heading up the chain of command on that BS right there... ...or slash her tires at lunch better yet find a nice little sensor to unplug before she heads home for the day.....better if she drives a ford and you pull the job to repair it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Bruene Posted June 27, 2011 Author Share Posted June 27, 2011 Commmme onnnnnnn. You're making this up! I'm not creative enough to make that one up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Bruene Posted June 27, 2011 Author Share Posted June 27, 2011 Alex, is this going to make you re-evaluate your decision to remain at this dealer? No. The money is too good, even with her running interference. However, I have been re-evaluating my future with FOMCO as a whole. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aaron Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 Today's run-in... I charged to machine a set of rotors AND replaced them on the same RO, as they machined undersize. Her response (the best one of heard of yet)... "When Ford looks at the training you have, they'll say you should have been able to tell the rotors would have machined undersize by looking at them". Been there, done that. Eventually, the dealer began to pay me for cutting the rotors if they went undersize, because for awhile, they ALL needed rotors after I got hooped on this once - We had a lathe that'd take .030 off each side in ONE PASS. Didn't take much to kill a rotor with that thing. I'd swap 'em on, and when I had a stack of 6 or 8 rotors sitting under my bench, I'd spend 20 minutes or so making 300ft long strands of brake rotor material, .030 thick at a time.

mchan68 Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 Okay. Lesson learned. It's not all about the money! I see that you're back at Donway. Funny thing is, I've been offered a position at Yonge-Steeles Ford/Lincoln (the same Pakis that own East Court, Meadowvale and Freeway I think). I politely refused, due to "one of those feelings", and the fact that you're out of there only confirmed it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Bruene Posted March 26, 2012 Author Share Posted March 26, 2012 That dealer group has a completely different demographic than I am used to. It's all about 3 things... 1. Volume... 2. Volume... and 3. Volume. In the mix of that, customer and employee satisfaction seems to take the back seat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djmiller Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 Volume is worthless if the dollars aren't there. Fixing 10 truck a day is no good if you dont get paid anything to do it! YSFL was looking for a foreman in Jan. if i recall. Any idea who picked that up? I thought about applying, but too far to drive, and I'm pretty happy here.
