Monday, 16 March, 2026
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.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
