amailloux Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 Well, I just had a week off and a great vacation with the family, and for the first time ever, I do not want to go back to work. The week before I left I filled out a vacation request for another week and it was denied. I said ok, I will take it without pay and go job hunting. I put 107 hours out that week, and was really on edge with the management, the dishonesty in the shop, and the complete lack of any support. Going to do some checking around, and see what is out there. I haven't had a good nights sleep in over a year, and have been dropping weight. They have no problems flying in people and handing out 5 k sign on bonuses, just to have them cost the shop and leave after a year. All I ask is for a little gratitude and respect. My attitude has gone way down hill seeing the theft from technicians and the quality of work going out the door. The money I am getting is the only thing keeping me there, and it is to the point that that is not worth losing sleep and the way I feel about the company. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 I just (October) moved to a real stress free job, and all the things you said about no sleep etc are gone and I get along with everyone at my workplace awesome. Sometimes a change is good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forddieseldoctor Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 I've never had it bad enough that I was loosing sleep. But I wasn't sad to say good-bye to my last dealership. And no matter what if you work with other people they will do stuff that pisses you off. I've been at my current dealer for 5 years and there's days when I want to kick my co-workers in the teeth. But I've started wearing ear plugs whenever I pick up a air tool or mount tires and I've noticed that if I can't hear them I'm much happier.

Aaron Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 You ever see some of those Aussie guys do burnouts? Fuckers lay the loud pedal to it until the tires are actually on fire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
