WOTPod 017 w/ Eric (@SerratedMobius⁩)

In this episode, we sit down with Eric, better known as @SerratedMobius, to have one of the most honest conversations we’ve had yet about flat rate, technician burnout, pay transparency, and what happens when passion runs head-first into a broken system.Eric shares his journey through multiple dealerships, becoming a Mercedes master technician, and how flat rate, warranty times, and management culture can quietly drain motivation and mental health. We talk about what it feels like to give maximum effort and still fall behind, why so many skilled technicians feel trapped, and what actually brings motivation back when money, stress, and workload collide.This episode isn’t about complaining. It’s about telling the truth, understanding your value, and pushing the industry toward better systems that keep good technicians in the trade instead of burning them out.If you’ve ever questioned flat rate, struggled with slow weeks, or felt like your effort wasn’t matching your paycheck, this conversation will hit home.Eric on YT- @SerratedMobiusEric on Instagram-https://www.instagram.com/serratedmobius/Also check out Eric’s show: https://linktr.ee/flagtimepodcast
