Cordell Posted November 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2011 It's a lame ass response to a lame ass complaint. Make the money. I write service, and yet I still make the money I need. You do what you have to to make the money. If that shop doesnt make it for you, go somewhere else. A majority of my techs make at least 40 hours a week. The ones that want more make more. /thread P.S. Sorry about your wifes situation. I'll still get my 40 this week, I had 30 yesterday, again you missed the point. How fucked up the difference between being a hard working salaried employee versus being a hard working flat rate employee. Besides this was just a rant thread, and I wouldn't be happy until I'm over 50 hours because most weeks I get close to 60. I spent most of today standing around so i bitched about it, fuck off.

Cordell Posted November 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2011 Scott, have you ever thought about taking on any side work from your home garage? I don't do side work for a number of reasons, but mostly because I don't like working. I work when its time to work, and I enjoy my free time.

He's helped quite a number of us on car repairs in his spare time and never wants a penny for it. It says something that there is someone who works on cars all day and then doesn't hesitate to spend his evening/weekend working on somebody else's car (usually under crummy conditions and with inadequate tools) because they can't do it themselves, can't afford to take it to a shop, or just plain want Scott doing the work. There aren't many people willing to do that. CR's got more than our fair share and I'm thankful for that. Thanks, Scott! :thumbup: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe if I had a decent garage at home I'm do a little more, but I don't so I don't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why so serious? Didn't you see my post saying how I was standing around so I felt like bitching? I come to work motivated and don't like standing around. My writer is here today so i have stuff to do, thus I'm in a much better mood today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cordell Posted November 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2011 That drive is retarded. Plain and simple. No writer, no work? Seriously? I agree, we have 3 writers, writing for 3 teams. The other 2 are supposed to take the other techs into account when one of the writers isn't here, but that never happens, especially when its my writer because he only has 2 guys and the other one is our transmission guy. However when he's here I can't keep up with him most of the time so I almost always have work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patterson Posted November 12, 2011 Report Share Posted November 12, 2011 I find it so annoying that my wife is salaried, and is always slammed busy with work to do. I'm a flat rate paid technician, and I can't count on work from one day to another. Today is typical, the service advisor who writes all my work isn't here so I'm getting fucked, while my wife is at work getting stuck with more work because someone else quit. I'm so tired of double standards, and the pussy fuck butthurt way things keep going. I wish my wife would get paid for the work she does, we'd never have money problems. She's good at what she does, and always ends up fucked because of it. I'm good at what I do and like getting paid the way I do, because when there is work I turn more hours then the rest of the shop and it really shows that I know what I'm doing. Yet here I am not doing much because the butthurt fucks who can't keep up with me don't want to let me do much today since my service writer isn't here. Godamnbullshitfuck okay theres my rant, bite me if you don't like it. Tell her to look into Home Healthcare. While its aggrivating as any job out there, my wife enjoys it. The pay ain't all that bad.

thorne Posted November 12, 2011 Report Share Posted November 12, 2011 It depends on the job. My bonus makes up for the ass raping I take all year. +1 Allot of us IT folk are salaried but that 10-20% bonus every year makes up for it most of the time.

CHERRY Posted November 13, 2011 Report Share Posted November 13, 2011 I work as a Service Adviser and I love my job. What I don't like is that I have yet to find a dealership that is willing to pay for an Exceptional Adviser. MY CSI Scores average between 90 to 100 each month. In 2007 and 2009 I sold over $1,000,000.00 in parts and labor, each year. My best year was $1,037,433.01 in 2009. I averaged 2.29 tech hours for every customer pay ticket that I wrote. I wrote up 1,751 c/p tickets in 2009. My best month was June 2009 when I average $483.95 of customer pay on every ticket for the entire month. For the whole year I averaged $354.73 parts and labor for every c/p ticket that I wrote. Needless to say I am a gun for hire. I am NOT cheap I am working now at a KIA--Mitsubushi Dealership and I sold $16,310.20 in just labor within a two week time frame. That is 227.70 tech hours. I am doing this on a computer format that I have never seen until I took the job 6 weeks ago. But now I find out that my salary that we agreed on is now only half of what I asked for. Service Manager told me that the salary I was quoted was only good for the first month while I was in training. I know your pain Scott.

nurkvinny Posted November 13, 2011 Report Share Posted November 13, 2011 This would make my wife laugh, "bonus whats a bonus" she'd say. She's a systems analyst for medicare, been in medicare for 13 years, so if anyone knows where this experience would get her paid feel free to let me know. NCR, National Church Residence(sp?).

CHERRY Posted November 13, 2011 Report Share Posted November 13, 2011 So you got paid more in training? That is some wack ass shit. No, I had a guarantee for one month. Now I get half of that plus I get commission. But I will still be $17,000.00 less there per year than I made in 2009. Chuck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regards Chuck Dealerships dont want to pay shit for the mechanics or the service writers.. So anywhere you go, the service writer either blows, which most of mine do... Or if your a good service writer and bring in the work, the mechanics bitch and complain about being too busy... This week I started my new job at germain.. And its set up with 6 service writers, and one guy in the shop that is the dispatcher. It works well.. Service writers call in sick, or dont show up.. and you still get work.. The one thing I hate is all service writers do shit their own way. And when you switch it up, they get shitty if you dont have your paper work the right way.
