Episode 360: Pissing Match

from Grease The Wheels Podcast Hosted by Grease The Wheels

Send us Fan Mail On this week’s episode of Grease The Wheels, Uncle Jimmy starts a proper war on LinkedIn. We love LinkedIn, from the endless networking with people who want to sell us stuff, to some of the most ludicrous and overhyped job titles we have ever seen. Everyone is an expert, a guru, a wizard, or mogul - at least in their own head! What started as a post about not wanting to pay technicians for Video MultiPoint Inspections quickly became an entire week’s work for one of these self-ordained “Fixed Ops Leaders” who has spent more time as a service advisor and Gym Manager than he did in Fixed Ops Leadership. The results were very heartening as well, most people agreed with us in the idea that technicians should in some way be compensated for the time that the spend doing Video MPI’s if they are on the flat rate system. If you are salary or a hybrid hourly with a production bonus, you don’t really have much of a leg to stand on. This was a properly fun drubbing of someone who thinks they know best, but we want to heart from you! What do you think is a proper amount of compensation for a Video MPI as a flat rate technician? Also Erik takes a week off to try bourbons and beat the life out of race cars. This Episode of Grease the Wheels is brought to you in partnership with Surfwrench Digital!
