What is going on with todays new job force?? I work as a GM mechanic in a shop in the Midwest And have been doing so for 12 years as I just turned 30. I m not old by anymeans, but these new guys in the shop don"t respect tools, time or older (experienced) mechanics. When I was starting out, I busted my butt around older techs learning as much as i could. I always brought back tools i barrowed cleaner than when i barrowed them and made a point to buy that tool. When a older tech yelled at me, I took it constructively and tryed to learn from it, and I did. These new guys don"t know how to work. Are we babying our youthful work force too much?? I think so. I learned my work ethic from my grandpa. "Show up early, stay if needed, and if your gonna take the time to do it, do it right and with pride, your name is on that repair when your finished."
