So I took the low paying job because I'm really new to this industry at 26 and realize I have little chance of any other auto shop taking me in. One shop owner assumed I'd bitch out because the job has you getting dirty a lot and kinda talked down to me the entire time about it.
So anyways, no one really gives a shit about this job. Even the highest paid guy who isn't a full service tech is paid what some other shops will start people at.
My manager is constantly complaining to me how no one gives a fuck, how people won't work together or are lazy. No one cleans anything up. We had one guy go on break and never come back on his first day. They just hired a guy who actually knows more than me but is paid an entire $1 less than me per hour.
Hilarious part is, he acknowledged they pay us low. He gave me and some other guy a talk.
“I know we pay you a bit low. But we have bonuses and can train you on everything.”
My bonus has been a whole $100 per month. Average that in to hourly pay (approx 170 hours a month), barely a $0.50 raise.
Probably deleting later Incase this blows up, but this shit has been annoying me and I wanted to vent without bothering my friend with the rant. Thanks for reading.
