When I started at this company I intended for it to be the last one I worked for. The company as a whole was great to work for. Great benefits, one of the highest paid shops in the area, a CEO who seemed to genuinely care for his workers. 2 years in I couldn’t stand my boss. He tried to micromanage everything, got mad when I called in because of a family emergency, broke my company property while I was gone then lied to my face and upper management about it. They believed him over me since he’d been there 20 years of course. Our parts and sales department couldn’t stand him, he never did his job and tried to get everyone to do it for him. I decided I was done. Bought my own service truck, ran it on the side for awhile. During this a video surfaced of him destroying my company property, pictures of him sleeping on the job and more evidence of his lack of capacity to do the job and they fired him. I was so happy, but already committed to going into business for myself. A week after firing him I put my notice in. They tried like hell to get me to stay but I explained it was too late and I was committed due to already purchasing a service truck. They offered to buy it for what I paid if it meant I would stay and I declined. Best decision I’ve ever made. I took several customers with me when I left and business has been thriving. Months later they are still trying to dig themselves out of the hole he left. Thousands of dollars in warranty work unclaimed, revenue bills never sent to customers, tons of work orders written off because he didn’t want to deal with it. I feel sorry for the new service manager but I’m glad I’m out.
