Yeah, that sucks.
I need to hear these stories to remind me how great the people I work with are!

Keep looking! You can find that shop!

I will note, that honestly I do not regret turning my back on the automotive repair world.
Great guys in the ditches, not so much in the management areas :(

I spent many a day with someone screaming and bitching about some damned broken part on the other end of the car from where I had worked the day before! Management 80+% of the time would take care of it and leave me holding the bag.

No thank you.

May you to find the right place to spend your days!

I actually got written up last week for "spending too much time with a customer"! Can you believe that BS? Our micro-manager (referring both to his brain and stature) was with 1 customer during the same period of time, yet I also answered the phone 5 times, took orders and played cashier for several others. 2 other front counter people couldn't seem to work up their giveadam enough to handle anything other than putting parts away. The manager got really p!$$ed when I pointed out my sales were higher than anyone else's, both in numbers and $$. Then I got the "It's a team effort" speech and I couldn't stand it anymore, so I went to lunch.
   When I got back I got the "just think how good your sales would be if you really applied yourself" speech and I looked at him and said "I'm not paint. Spread me too thin, I show what ticks me off".
