Well...just got back from the shop
And it wasnt in the 72. They started to work on it at 4pm today, and they close at 5. They called me up at 430, asking me questions about what needs to be done, so I head down there, and talk to the mechanic (who I used to work with) and the owner. They tell me that they wont be able to get it done today, because they close at 5. They arent open tomorrow, like it matters, so they wont be able to get it done, maybe, till Monday afternoon.
So...yeah. Im pissed, real pissed. This whole week feels like a waste of time.

Well, the shop was doing it on the side for me as they have good relations with my brothers shop. So we called them up, they said they could do it Firday before 7. Well, they never got to it because they had a lot of other work to do. So they told me they were gunna work on it first thing this morning...but didnt start till 4pm.
Im really pissed, and so is my brother since he now feels like an ass for sending me there.

I may have misunderstood something in another thread. I thought he said he couldn't use a lift.

I used to be able too, but now we have a Nazi store general manager, and on top of that, his bosses are down almost every day, wanting to know every single detail.
Yeah, the start of this month, they made it manditory that you have to work 6 days a week. Thats not gunna fly when it comes to school time. I might have to take a demotion, or look for a new job.
And correct, we dont have a welder so it wouldnt matter.

You need a new job. They guys I know in the car business say they cannot find good help.

Some might call that 'fringe benefits'. Benefits always need to be considered as part of the total compensation package, afterall....

Nope, Im salary. There are 2 options that I will leave in the hands of the store manager.
1- Cut the 6 day **** now, and put us back on 5 days a week so I can go to school
or
2- Find a new manager. Ill take a demotion and back to what my pay was before I was promoted.
Ive worked pretty hard at this job to have it thrown back in my face and force me to work 6 days a week.

If you aren't bonus eligible, the changes in the OT laws may require them to pay you OT.
