Roadrat cool ideal.I know some say you fire 12 then retrain then fire.You are overlooking the fact that only 1 or 2 terminated will affect the whole workforce.Almost every tech out there will admit they need more training.Online is ok class room what have you.In the fast pace times we live in we have 4 or more fuel systems out there 4 or more
electric controls.Then your working on other brands with the same.The one class I never seen offered to a road tech is a bussiness management class.Would it help?What about time management.Some of the people in the workforce think John Q Company is making millions so I dont have to do all that Ill let everyone else carry me.
I or Roadrat or anyone could start our own take all the risk
front all the capitol and watch p's and q's.But is that not why a lot of us are where we are? I dont want the risk
chances are my company will be here tomorrow.I just hate seeing it bleed dry.Im sure working conditions would improve if slackers were at least up to speed.More profit for company more for you.Tight times at work tight times for you.
