What is going on!
I started working for a mechanic shop 2 months ago working Monday thru Friday 9-5 for a set amount every Friday. All the sudden the boss changed his mind and asked me if not only would I take 100 dollars less a week for a few weeks because we're slow but also work half day Saturdays. That is only a little over 6 dollars an hour and there is no way I'm doing that. I'm married with 2 kids and my wife is unable to work. The only thing saving us is that our house is payed off. I've been putting apps and resumes in like a mad man. I put in 63 over this past weekend on indeed and linkedin. I really don't know what to do anymore!
Look for warehouse jobs most of them have no weekends but pay pretty good
Hey I'm working at O'Reilly Auto parts too, and I'm looking for a warehouse job with no weekends just Monday thru Friday only. I k what your going through, it's happening at my job now
Find a job pay better
I don't think sub minimum wage is not aloud in most states check with your local eeoc
This is a huge problem with independent autoshop. My suggestion would be go dealership or invest in your own side business where you could be a mobile technician with a specialty such as electrical, brakes, tire rotation & repair, fluid and filter changes. If you are good and quick people love Mobile Service and no one likes to waste a day at a shop. This as well can give you the opportunity to sell jobs to certain maintenance shops where you offer your services to say for example a Transmission Repair shop and come to an agreement with the owner or manager where you agree on a commission % for every customer you bring in. The thing is you do need a business license but when you are good at what you do then take a risk. Don’t deny jobs because you don’t know how to do it because a technician will find a way to make a customer happy as well as shop owners as you would basically be prospecting for them. Don’t settle!
Keep on going. Stay up on doing the good work. I say, start applying at the jobs.. Talk to them. Go in these job ask for web site to apply. Ask the mangers and there names. Keep it simple. Things will start to flow ur way.
That sucks I'm sorry to hear that. It sounds like he low-balled you so he can make money off of your sweat. I just gave up putting applications in. for over 30 years I've been self-employed now I know why. I've never fired myself I've never laid myself off and I've never given myself a cut in pay. The buck stops here
Yeah find a warehouse job they work Monday through Friday only. I work in an auto parts store now and I'm looking for a warehouse job with no weekends.
If you have tools and mechanical experience finding a job should be easy , good luck
Idk where you at but that don't sound legal man.
