I've had it with my current employment situation. The bullshit is just getting too deep.
The office is completely disorganized. I'm getting incomplete info to diagnose cars, I'm getting wrong parts or no parts. They're working so inefficiently that I have about 20 cars on my work sheet this week, but will probably be lucky to hit 25 hours because I wasted all week running back and forth doing inspections. 2 hours a car is NOT hard to accomplish so long as the workflow is managed semi-competently.
I'm sick of ten hour days with several hours a day wasted by office inefficiency. Hell, I'm just sick of ten hour days.
I'm really sick of Saturdays, even if they are only part days and are (supposed to be) only every other weekend. Especially since that's changed lately, before Saturdays were only "if you have something left over that needs finishing, but mostly for customers to pick cars up." Ok, I can spend 3 hours hanging out in case a customer's car has some odd issue when they pick it up. But now, there have to be two techs on for Saturday. Why!? Before, you'd work one Saturday a month. Now that's (at least) doubled. I may not have a life, but I'd like some goddamn free time to try and find myself one!
There is a lot more going on that I won't get into, but my boss is nuts, the office staff has a couple competent guys and a pair of useless morons (you know what they say about chains and weakest links) and I've just had it.
I'm ASE-certified (not that those useless pieces of paper mean anything) with my master cert, and I can fix just about anything mechanical. I do European cars - Porsche, Mercedes, BMW, VW/Audi, etc. I do Japanese cars and American cars (gravy compared to Euro stuff). Hell, I'll even fix motorcycles, jet skis, whatever...
