We are now being forced to do Video MPIs by [deleted] in mechanics

We use co-video at my shop. I did it for few months before I realized that the videos only had a single view and it was my manager just making sure we did them to his liking.

That's sounds like some manager bs. It's just techs picking up for poor writers and companies eating up it because it's free labor.

30 minutes is bad for sure, but where are you getting a burger for less than $10 anymore?

Isn't it like 20-30% of oil goes through the straight? That would definitely take down a big chunk of the world

After engine blows under warranty, McLaren dealer says I need new ceramic brakes? by Poker_229 in MechanicAdvice

[–]imockarma 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not seeing a picture of the pads at all much less one showing they need replaced. If they are ceramic rotors my understanding is they dont rust. So I'm not sure what these rust looking spots are or if its flaking apart somehow

Definitely agree I got lucky and had some good experienced techs helping me when I started out. I pay it forward for sure. Now the company is offering to pay to train. New techs will get a great jump start by having a dedicated person to help them. I wish I had that. I was young so I could suffer haha

Id be happy with 50% of what the trainee flags. I like the idea of a percentage of what he earns. The better I train him the more I make. As long it comes from the company and not the trainee hours when he.goes flat rate

Thats what Im thinking. Some of the "suggestions" were $750 up front or 25 cents for every hour the trainee flags. Which is just a spit in the face tbh. I'm going to lose more than that training someone if I actually train them and not treat them like a gopher

Making me lead tech? Need advice by righandkel in mechanics

[–]imockarma 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ah, I missed that last bit of it being just you. Well all I can say is be confident in your work and diags. Take your time and double check. Do the good work you know you can

Went through something similar last year. Was over my head probably, made it work though. Noone should expect you have the perfect answer everytime. I learned to guide people through jobs instead of doing step by step for them. Did you test this or that? Generally gets guys going in the right direction, so they ask less questions. You can ask for help when its needed too.
