    The Flat Rate Effect + Everything is the techs fault

    03/23/2026 | 11 mins.
    Today there is 2 episodes in one. I been pushing towards getting the YouTube channel going and the episodes have been shorter. I know that sucks for podcasts cause I listen to podcasts all day every day. So soon there will be longer episodes coming. I been working on a lot of for the podcast so hopefully we get back to normal. This episode is about the flat rate effect and how they blame everything on the technicians.

    “Sign This or You Don’t Work Here” The Truth About Shop Hiring

    03/16/2026 | 11 mins.
    Most shops will tell you there’s a technician shortage.
    But that’s not the truth.
    The real reason shops are always hiring is because techs keep leaving.
    In this episode I break down what’s really happening inside the bays. The revolving door of technicians, the broken flat rate system, the paperwork they make you sign just to get the job, and why so many experienced techs are walking away from the trade.
    This isn’t about people being lazy or not wanting to work.
    It’s about an industry that expects technicians to carry all the risk while management keeps the control.
    Techs are burning out.
    Techs are leaving.
    And the industry still refuses to admit why.
