On this week's episode of Grease the Wheels, we’re talking complainers and complaining and we’re going to separate the two of them and get to the root of the matter.We have all worked with complainers, some of them are completely validated and others are just insufferable. As mechanics though, depending on where you work there is a lot of completely justifiable stuff to complain about: service advisors not selling easy work, bringing in cars that should be in a junkyard, terrible working conditions, low pay, disgusting shops, and the list goes on and on. The main difference between the people who are insufferable and the ones who are justified are how they approach the endgame: are they offering some sort of solution to their complaints? Pay complaints will always be fairly valid because of the wide gulf between shop rates and what the mechanic gets paid, but the fastest way to increase your pay, especially in this climate, is to Grease the Wheels. Also, Uncle Jimmy says, “I’m not going to complain about complainers” about 4 times.This episode of Grease the Wheels is sponsored by toolheadzcrate.com.
