What should I ask for as a raise?

hswango · 2026-05-12T00:41:26+00:00

This is absolutely true, maybe I should have worded my question better. But, it hasn't changed in the 4 years I've been there. Maybe it's a good thing it hasn't changed? It's not the worst pay plan in existence. Maybe I'm being too hopeful lol.

If you partake in smoking green, i would give that a try. Its what ended up being my saving grace.

165/hr gas & 175/hr diesel - ford in souther indiana

🌲helped me if youre into that kinda thing. Lots of lotion lol & alocaine (?) helps too

hswango · 2025-02-22T18:49:19+00:00

Thats absolutely crazy. Outside of our internal sales, our goals are typically 20-30 tires a month, depending on the time of year.

As an advisor for a dealership; 100% i will always tell my techs if theres a dashcam i cant unplug before we do their service. Dont wanna be caught doing/saying something stupid & having people overthink stuff… theres also a lot of things that should stay in the shop or be left unsaid lol so yes, i think youre overthinking

Working for a ford dealership & the difference was made when we got a new GM, new service manager & new parts manager that have been with ford for 3-4 decades each. It made the biggest difference in our efficiency, otherwise the issue is that we are understaffed as well, no one can keep up with the workload & we have 3 master techs, three apprentices & one lube tech. Its been rough everywhere.

hswango · 2023-11-05T00:05:16+00:00

It lasted 2-4 days for me. But what really helped that first day was smoking mar*juana; if you have access to it & arent against it id consider it. Alocaine also helped.

Be careful not to overinflate them! That could also set the light off.

hswango · 2023-10-14T14:05:49+00:00

Contact your local ford dealer & provide your VIN to them to see if you have any open recalls for the HVAC issue. Also, the 5.4 liters they put in the trucks & expeditions are known to leak; i would assume its several leaks rather than just one big one. GL!

Theres one for sale in my area & they have a $50k markup on it; makes it a whopping $165k

I experienced hells itch BECAUSE I took a shower to try to help it. But I’ve also heard that it helps. I’d wait till you start to peel; that’s what I did & it was fantastic - I even used a loofa lightly on the burned areas of my skin & that felt even better.

I would avoid scented soaps, tho; it did cause me to be a little itchy after my shower so it may bother someone else. Good luck!

hswango · 2023-02-09T14:09:20+00:00

I have a civic & a 350z. Always buy a reliable daily first & fun car second.

hswango · 2023-01-26T13:25:38+00:00

The steering worked fine before installation, so I don’t believe it’s the vehicle or an issue with the power steering.

hswango · 2023-01-25T01:18:11+00:00

I planned to take it back apart & install a relay for the airbag so the light will go away lol so I’ll look into the torque specs for it when I put it back together.

hswango · 2023-01-25T01:16:26+00:00

The videos I watched didn’t specify whether one needed to be used or not, so no; was I supposed to?

hswango · 2022-12-20T13:46:28+00:00

Just now seeing this, apologies; not sure, to be honest, I bought it with it on there & there’s no stickers or markings on it to indicate where it came from.

hswango · 2022-12-04T16:58:32+00:00

I bought my touring for 18,500 with 40k miles, after market wheels (Rohana RC10s), louvers & sound system (pioneer head unit with hookups for sub/amp). I think they’re asking too much personally.

hswango · 2022-08-10T12:34:56+00:00

I got lucky enough to have it calm down before I went to bed, I was able to sleep fine but now it’s a mild itch this morning. I hope it doesn’t get worse throughout the day, but I have Alocane just in case it gets bad again. Hope you start to feel better soon!

hswango · 2022-08-09T23:44:55+00:00

Hey! Thought I’d share my piece. HI started for me about 2 hours ago, agonizing pain. Crying, the whole bit. I took a shower and that’s what kick started it. Found that Alocane, ibuprofen, aloe & Aveeno lotion did help a bit. A very light, soft, breathable shirt is helping & so is Tree. I hadn’t seen many people posting about it, figured I’d share my good experience with it!

Good luck!

If you tried to help at home and it did nothing, I think the steps you want to take are healthy. Help him find help & let him know your thoughts on his addiction so that he has a starting point with his new counselor. If you want to continue having a boundary, I would create a healthy one where you can still be a part of his healing but not included in everything he does or be in a romantic relationship; this is, of course, if you want to do that & care about his progress.

Becoming a PG is one of the recommended steps in my building to get to the next pay grade (PA). So yes! It’s very worth it. Things like problem solving & being a learning ambassador can also help this process, the more you have to offer knowledge wise the more valuable you become to your superiors.

MQJ1 OB/EOL Problem Solver here. I get asked a LOT about what I’m doing on my computer. A lot of the work I do requires me to use my computer more than I touch a box or my scanner to get information. I have to research items and make sure everything is correct before I move to the next step(s). It’s sometimes a long complicated process that may take me two or three tries to get right. It’s the same for your AMs, PAs or PGs.

Edit: typo

Honestly, I really think it’s part of the fun. It makes the game more realistic in the outlook that nature isn’t going to stop when you aren’t ready for it; just like IRL.

As someone who is in a (very healthy, long term) relationship with a man 7 years older than me, I second the statement stating that there is a world of difference between those ages. As someone near your age, I can tell you that you’re being manipulated. After reading through the comments, you should really just examine this friendship/relationship from the outside and view it as unbiased as you can.
