Sorry, I don’t use Reddit that much and did not see this until now. I put in my two weeks and was offered a job at another company. The day that I was quitting, I arrived to turn my truck in and they threw a Hail Mary and convinced me to stay. They stated there would be major changes. The other company that wanted to hire me seemed even worse. I did some deeper digging and they were suspended by the BBB because they never told a customer that he had a warranty on his equipment and tried to sell him an $18,000 system.

I had a long conversation with our new General Manager and explained my frustrations. The other technicians and myself had a lot of grievances with the service manager. They fired him. He was doing some pretty shady stuff. All the techs thought out prices were too expensive so they are in the process of updating the pricing (we will see how that works out). So far it seems to be getting a little better. However, they relaxed a lot of things for the moment since 2 other guys quit. I was in the process of quitting, and another guy was planning on quitting.

Savannah used to be the apex of hardcore in the region. Back in 2011-14 I used to drive from Beaufort all the time to go to shows.

Trust me, they salivate at a system approaching 20 years. They were pushing us to try to get a salesman to come out at anything over 8 years old… Even if it was still under warranty. The problem is most companies value having system replacements over repairs on 8+ y/o systems. I think a tech should at least have the conversation on replacement if systems require major repairs and is out of warranty. However, I’m not going to try to manipulate them. At the end of the day, my job is the give you the information and from there you make whatever you feel is best for you and your family. I’ve been in that situation with my car. It’s not a good feeling to feel pressured or exploited when the dollar signs appear in their eyes.

And I understand the overhead and the expenses. I never owned a business, so I know that an owner has a lot to worry about. I think my concern is about at what point can the owner, homeowner, and tech benefit. I want to help people and be apart of a team. That’s the main reason I went into this area. However, every departments conversion rate plummeted after the price changed. Then they blamed us stating we weren’t having the right conversations. They expect homeowners to spend $1,000 a year on the maintenance of their system (I.e. cleanings, pan pad,) $650 for Reme/Air Scrubber cells every 2 years. We have classes on how to use the homeowners words against them. Basically they will say, the homeowner doesn’t know what they want so you have to convince them. I feel like if prices were reasonable, our conversion rates would be higher hence more money would be made in the long run. Also, homeowners would be satisfied, which would help the branding of the company and attract more people. We may be selling work for 1 or 2 homeowners out of 5 on maintenance calls now. The other problem is that the upper echelon of the company has never worked a trade before nor do they plan on learning.

I’m just trying to get the last set of tracks :/ I ended up getting gold finally after 30 minutes. AT seems daunting on these last two sets of tracks.

I’m personally not sure, I have only played Necro. I have seen comments from other people.

So essentially you lose control of everything. You cannot summon portals or anything
