[QUOTE="Makobra, post: 16569340, member: 193575"] I was once hired on as the IT guy for a shop called Racing Solutions. day 1 the new owner takes me out to lunch and tells me the president just gave his 2 weeks to go work for the competition (john hennessy). this was the beginning of john poaching all of our employees over the next few months while we were working tirelessly to revamp a shop with a lot of things going wrong. I was the last guys standing so the owner offered to let me try my hand at the wheel and move it up to the dfw area. anyhow, long story short, a year and a half later was around 2008ish? yeah, so the owner was doing renovations and a guy vaporized 4 years of my salary on a build. I was laid off. it was humiliating and I had a firesale but then i realized i was burnt out. I hated the gig. i love cars but i hated lying to guys trying to sell them superchargers for their fast as shit vipers when they probably couldn't drive it at its limits stock. anyhow, i turned down a job with higher pay to come home and work for some friends for a couple years. now i'm ten years into a career change (software engineer) and this is DEFINITELY my thing. i just had the best year of my life. some poor souls go their whole lives without a crisis that makes them really question why they do what they do. I consider myself blessed. [/QUOTE]
