Weapon Words

https://flatratetechpodcast.weebly.com/https://tech-shop.fourthwall.com/    MERCH!https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FK654G57  THE BOOK!Fixed Ops Managers that want to actually fix your shops emailflatrateconsulting@gmail.com This one’s all about the weapon words shops throw at us to squeeze more free labor. Mandatory. Budget. Efficiency.Opportunity. Team player. Professionalism. They make it sound like motivation, but every single one of those words is just a threat dressed up as leadership. You want videos? You want “flexibility”? You want us to hit budget? Then pay us. Because “mandatory” without a paycheck ain’t mandatory—it’s just bullshit.I break down the language they use, what it really means, and why techs keep getting played into working harder and longer for nothing. If you’ve ever been told to be a “team player” or “professional” while they cut your pay plan, this episode is for you.Support the showTHE BOOK https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FK654G57 Follow the Facebook pageFollow the instagram page-- Flatratetech_podcastCheck out the website Flatratetechpodcast.weebly.comFlatRateTechPodcast@gmail.comDon't Forget To Rate And Review!Thanks For Listening, and Thanks for your support!Tech

In this episode, I break down what really happens when a motivated tech walks into a dealership and gets thrown into the bay with no support, no communication, and nothing but lies from the interview. From foremen being left out of the process to shops expecting techs to train their own replacements for free, it’s no wonder guys walk out as fast as they walk in.We’ll talk about the lies, the egos, the NPC new hires, and why the system keeps eating its own. And yeah I’ll have some fun calling out the “top 1%” techs and the podcast clout-chasers too.This one’s for every tech who’s seen a new guy show up, sit at a toolbox all day, and disappear a week later.Support the showTHE BOOK https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FK654G57 Follow the Facebook pageFollow the instagram page-- Flatratetech_podcastCheck out the website Flatratetechpodcast.weebly.comFlatRateTechPodcast@gmail.comDon't Forget To Rate And Review!Thanks For Listening, and Thanks for your support!Tech

Shops keep scrambling to hire, but nobody’s asking why people are leaving in the first place. In this episode, we break down what’s driving techs out right now: unstable pay plans, broken promises, toxic management, and the burnout that comes with being treated like we’re disposable.It’s not just “a few bad shops.” This is a pattern across the industry, and it’s hitting harder every month.

And if you’re a manager who doesn’t get it yet—this is the reality your techs are living in.Support the showTHE BOOK https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FK654G57 Follow the Facebook pageFollow the instagram page-- Flatratetech_podcastCheck out the website Flatratetechpodcast.weebly.comFlatRateTechPodcast@gmail.comDon't Forget To Rate And Review!Thanks For Listening, and Thanks for your support!Tech
