  1. Vacation days are 10000000000% NOT mandatory to pay in Ohio. Source: nearly 10 years in higher level HR at Fortune 500 companies.

     

    Read your handbook. If it's not outlined there, you have no grounds outside of just trying to get your boss to be a good person.

     

    If your new company is better and you're going to have a better life there, then honestly man, the juice may not be worth the squeeze. Just say fuck it and move on.

     

     

    That's a great source you're quoting.

     

    You are absolutely granted accrued vacation time in the state of ohio, unless a clear change has been provided by the employer.

    You got it! Thank you, it was a pleasure to meet you.

     

     

    Never saw that coming... :gabe:

    I had a lady call me today from CSCC asking for some info about referring students to me. We couldn't seem to connect, so I'll try again tomorrow. Is there a student outlet for this kind of thing?

  3. A lot of truth here, but I disagree a little.

     

    I can match paint to 99% with tinting if necessary. But that's if its necessary. Most of the time we have variances that get us to where the color needs to be. Metal and plastic show paint different because of how they cure. As stated the way paint is sprayed, ambient temperature and panel temperature can all affect the way paint lays and cures. The amount of reducer can change it. There is a lot more that will change it too, but I could go on forever.

     

    Blending clear is one of the easiest things I do almost every other day. If done correctly there is no visible detection after the fact.

     

    You need to get ahold of Sevan, Wasco, or Ohio Auto Color. Probably in that order. They can do a prophet on the paint and get a match. A prophetic match uses a camera look at the paint from multiple angles, and comes up with a good match.

  4. True Performance is a production shop. Just like the other 90% of the shops in Columbus. I am not. I have 13 cars that were dropped for this week. Production shops have 40-50 dropped for the week. Obviously, we're all here to make a living and the faster they go out the faster we get paid. But a production shop (I was trained in one) has one purpose, and that's to turn cars. I put out the best work I can given what is brought to me and what the customer wants to do and pay for. I try to run my shop efficiently. For example, I have a job that could have been completed today if the insurance company would have come out to write the car. The customer dropped today, I already had parts ordered Friday (bumper cover, rebar, absorber) and painted today. Could have installed after lunch and told the customer to pick up at end of the day.

     

    A TRUE story...

  5. Rife's on Westerville has done me wrong. Achbach has done mistakes that I noticed on a friend's. Auto Body Collision and Glass in Lewis Center has done mistakes too. None of the body shops I have dealt with had done a decent job. Just pick one, chances are you would be dealing with one mistake or another.

     

     

    No one is perfect. Had a guy work for me for 5 years, that was from Achbach. After having fixed their work from members here, and a combination of his stories, I wouldn't recommend them if I was booked 3 months out.

  6. I thought about this years ago. I would set a shop up for its individual Bay access. If you are not done with your vehicle and it's not gone you get charged another day. I leased out space the two other businesses a few years ago. The question is what would somebody be willing to pay for shop space and a lift? Most people that wrench on their own cars have tools oh, they just might not have the space. To alleviate stolen or broken tools just create a rental tool program like advance and AutoZone.
