Antiwork

I was hired at an awful autoshop. Really small staff. Awful managers. All the techs are quitting.

So I got hired at a shop as an entry level tire/lube tech and I'm paid a flat rate/hourly hybrid. If the jobs I do for the week aren't more than my $14/hourly, then I just get $14/hour. Problem is, we're a really slow shop. Some days I've only done 2 oil changes. But from inspections, I've been able to get work in and help them make thousands. I seem to be the only one able to easily do truck tires without much issue, so they have me do all of them. Because of this, I said I'd really like a raise. Now the fucked up thing? The other 2 techs aren't guaranteed as high of an hourly rate as me, they get $12. But I still wanted a raise. Ive pointed out several times, and my boss has even said it himself, that it's unlikely I will ever hit…

The other 2 techs aren't guaranteed as high of an hourly rate as me, they get $12. But I still wanted a raise.

Ive pointed out several times, and my boss has even said it himself, that it's unlikely I will ever hit my flat rate. So for my raise, he makes my flat rate higher. I think he's lying, but he claimed he did. So I went and interviewed for a job. Got the job. Put my notice in. He's upset I didn't ask for more hourly instead. I really didn't think it was that hard to know I'd want an hourly raise, considering we've said multiple times I will never hit flat rate. Now he's trying to offer me more, and I turned him down.

The other techs don't want to have to do heavy truck tires and oil changes once I leave, so they're also leaving.

I've posted here a few times about this boss. Here's one thing he did: He took the new girls face and put it on the 1 white girl (piper Perri) with 5 black guys surrounding her. He sent it to the group chat for store managers. He proudly showed her. He told everyone Infront of her she loves BBC.

I didn't want to post an additional massive wall of text about how awful they are, but wanted to share.
