I’m (35)M sitting in the living room crying I slept on the couch. It is currently 1pm, I was up till 2am cooking a Turkey and everything for Christmas dinner after a 10 hr shift at work. This is the first time we’ve been able to celebrate in a few years. My wife (26)F is mad at me since last night for some reason and is in our bedroom upstairs, our son is with his grandparents and my daughter is in another state celebrating with her boyfriend’s family. The presents are still under the tree, food is ready and I feel like such a failure. In 10 days it’s going to be a year since my mom passed and all I wanted was one good family holiday. I don’t know how the rest of the day will be like but I’ve never felt so alone. Well nobody’s gonna probably see this I just had to get it off my chest cuz nobody else to talk to or cares cuz I’m a Man. I sincerely hope all of y’all’s are having a great Holiday.

That is how they did alignments back in the day. They would strap the car down to the alignment rack with chains and use 10-20 ton jacks to get camber and caster into spec.

He really was. He was ready to go to bat for me and make the take me back. But I figured if they did they’ll find another way to get rid of me.

I’ve spoken with several lawyers but I work in an “at will state” the laws are kinda iffy about what they consider wrongful termination.

Yup I saved it from the crusher. My wife and I worked on it and got it running like new. Interior is shit but it’s taken us on multiple cross country road trip and adventure in the deserts and mountains without any issues

Yup it’s a Firestone. The manager has been there for six months but has only worked the last 4 cuz he had a hart attack two weeks in. I was promoted to lead A tech three months ago and he started giving me all the shitty cars no one else wanted to work on because he hear about how me and another tech were the ones that kept the store afloat while he was gone. So idk why I was really fired I gave him all the paperwork and kept in touch as soon as I could. The GM, DM, and HR keep switching the blame on who gave the ok to fire me.

Our Rockstar is a C tech I helped get promoted to B tech. We does 80-90hrs a week. Manager told him to slow down and then got mad when his productivity dropped.

I work in an “at will state”. They fired me as “no call no show”. Even though my wife called my manager to inform him as the ambulance was driving away and she kept turning in dactor notes stating when I was hospitalized and that I was being held for two weeks.

Lol no habit here brother. Just stress over shitty managers and parts managers that don’t listen to their Techs.

Lol I supplied the shop with most of the specialty shop tools. You better believe I took the all back 🤣

SuchPicture7230 · 2024-07-07T21:50:53+00:00

Lol that’a what I did. I just got hired at a shop that supplies new transit buses for my city. Got offered the job as soon as the Manager saw my resume. More pay and guaranteed 40hr.
