I’m feeling especially beside myself today because of a slow day at work…
The Phone Repair Industry is dying. The sales industry has a chokehold on the repair industry because they’re convincing people it’s better to spend $600-$700 on new phones rather than getting them fixed.
So they get looped into this contract with insurance that gets voided if they bring it to someone else for repair. I fear that I won’t have a job in another year…
I’ve been sitting at work for almost 3 hours without a single customer. 2 summers ago, this place had a line out the door… my hours have gotten cut and my weekends were taken away so there goes overtime and weekend commissions which were 1.5x normal commission rates.
I hate just sitting here on my ass doing nothing but scrolling on my phone and cleaning the store.
I hope this Electricians apprenticeship works out… I hate being a grunt for a million dollar business and being treated like a peasant when I’m the only one who can fix Apple Watches.. but every time I ask for a raise I’m told to sell more refurbs and fix more devices.
Bro HOW WHEN THERES NO CUSTOMERS.
