Just went to get my car inspected, and the guy running the place says that he can’t schedule me until Saturday. I ask if I can leave my number in case someone before me cancels. He says that it won’t work, it’s a staffing issue, he doesn’t have enough people. Of course, he actually says “No one wants to work.” He says if I know anyone looking for a job, he’s hiring. I ask what the pay is and instead of giving a straight answer he talks about how there’s the possibility of 14% commission and how his employees are making between $900 and $1500 a week. If he can’t hold onto mechanics, and the pay is that low, it’s no wonder why he thinks “No one wants to work.” For example, the mechanic we bring all our major repairs to, his hourly labor rate is $90/hr, so I’m assuming his mechanics see at least $60/hr and $60/hr times 40 hours is $2400…. Even if he only gives his mechanics $45/hr out of the labor rate, that’s still $1800.
