I think the brown ale is fine. Not the best I've ever had but it'll be sellable at least.

Quality, low-ish (2-3%) percentage brown ale is a beautiful thing that I rarely find. It's an excellent session beer imo.

I have worked for 2 companies that used slack. The first job sort of sucked, but they used the program sparingly and in a way that made actual sense. The second place it was a tool for the narcissist boss to bombard people with messages, sometimes at like 5 am.

It’s not at all uncommon for mechanics to have $50-100K worth of their own tools and toolboxes at their workplace.

Collateral Damage posted:Can I ask in what kind of helljob you've lended 40 grand worth of your own equipment to the company? Automotive Technician. I'm kind of on the low side for 10 years in, because I realized tool salesman are evil and skills and knowledge makes me more money than a tool does. There's also somebody with a mortage payment of a tool bill at 22% that probably has that tool I can borrow. One of the last tools I purchased from S(t)rap-On was a digital 1/2" drive torque wrench for $550. It's paid for by the couple dozen subaru head gasket jobs I've done in the last two years. I sort of had an epiphany after doing a pre-employment screening for my last employer(a Jag/Land Rover dealer) yesterday. I get paid by the hour by my current evil corporation employer, and do very little work. Going back to a dealer means going back to flat-rate pay, and a lot more physical labor. I'd essentially be going back to struggling for what basically will end up being the same money at the end of the year. There's a lot of pressure to be The Best in this industry, and I have at least 3 dealers in my pocket that would have me back tomorrow if I wanted, but none of them will step up and guarantee me a stable income, because they just can't stand the idea of paying someone to be there. Everything is pay scale, bonus, and survey driven. If I remind myself that I'm more than just a mechanic, and my life is more meaningful than what I do for a paycheck, I feel okay again. It's a daily struggle. Stuck at Carvana I guess. Don't blame me if you bought a turd from them, I'm farrrrr from the last person to sign off on cars.

Auto techs can make some serious swish. $40 an hour plus any efficiency bonuses. The toolbox stuff is very predatory though.

I've worked with techs that cleared over 6 figures for sure, but only one I've ever met was an actual diagnostic tech. There's always one tech in any shop that makes good money, but I promise you, that major service you paid for got done in an hour, and those little things on the maintenance sheet you received with your bill such as "lubricate door straps, clean out windshield cowl, check tire pressure sensor battery life, full control module fault scan" absolutely do not get done by that guy. Hell you're lucky if your tires get rotated or the tire pressure gets reset. Your spare tire is most definitely sitting at 18psi. There's an old saying: The more you know, the less you make. The veteran tech that stays sharp with technology gets all the warranty diagnosis cars. Big shocker: the manufacturer pays the bill on warranty jobs, and they don't pay dick, and are extremely quick to deny labor claims like "you can't claim .10 time units for a road test when you didn't need to drive the vehicle for a software update." Oh no did you brick that car due to faulty update file and spend a day trying to bring it back to life? Sucks, sorry. That guy making six figures in the shop does as much lying, cheating, and stealing a possible to make that paycheck, and doesn't matter his diag cars keep coming back, because he turns more hours than anyone in the shop, which means he makes the most money for the dealership, so what ends up happening is he gets all the easy gravy from dispatch. All the while, gets to walk around like his poo poo don't stink, but absolutely would not cut it at an independent shop. I grossed $86k in 2019, my best year, but for maximum work life balance, I'll be stuck around $70k for some time. The technician shortage will hopefully get worse so maybe things will change. I'd like to make 6 figures, but I'm comfortable with what I make now, and I take too much pride in my work to basically steal all the time interwhat fucked around with this message at 18:33 on Jan 29, 2022 |

It's a daily struggle. I hear you, I made a bunch of money when I had my own shop, but the constant grinding stress got to me and I sold out and worked flat rate for awhile, but I wasn’t getting any younger, so eventually I did well enough at several interviews to get a state job. The pay is only OK, but the benefits are very good and the stress is nearly non-existent. If takes an extra day to do something? No big deal, there’s no screaming customers and harried service writers, just a boring stream of generic fleetmobiles with easy-to-diagnose issues. Also, and you touched on this, but flat rate is loving evil, it poisons every facet of automotive service, and the only people that benefit are scumbag dealership owners and a few hot-poo poo techs that are buddy-buddy with the bosses. Everybody else gets hosed, the consumers get shittier service, the whole concept is a scam. When I had my own shop, I paid hourly wages to everybody, and when we had a good week, everybody got a $100 bill in addition to their paycheck. gently caress flat rate.

So the "I can't work from home unless you give me a desk" guy got a desk. And some monitors. And some adjustable monitor arms. But now he can't work from home because the monitors are causing "inflammation" and he refuses to come into the office because he has a mask exemption and the workplace has a policy right now that says you need to wear a mask because our organisation primarily deals with vulnerable people. He's in a customer-facing role. Someone higher up than me has advised that it's ok for him to come into work without a mask but he says he can't because he's going to be at risk because he's not wearing a mask.
