I'm just venting basically. I live in a small town of maybe 10k and work as an automotive technician in a small shop. Just me and 3 other guys in the shop. Well, not really because 2 of them are brothers who own the business and do as little as possible and the most miserable people I've ever met. The other guy is a good parts changer, and that's about it. If it's a check engine light, he's screwed. So basically, a lot gets thrown on my back. Their all in their mid to late 50s and I'm 37. The 2 brothers are extremely weird. Never been married, no kids, girl friends, nothing. Lived with their parents until they died. The parts changer is a royal smart ass who thinks he knows all. All I hear everyday is "this car is known for this or bad about that". I've been in the trade for the last 10 years consistently and at the current shop for 6, but I'm about ready to get out of the trade all together. The only thing I keep holding on for is my wife and I are trying to buy a house the first of the year and without my length of employment, it won't happen. I'm grateful and blessed to have a job and 3 beautiful kids but I can't help but think it could be a little easier. Anyone else deal with similar experiences and if so how do you cope with the job ordeal? I've been biting my tongue for a while now, but damn it's getting hard.
