They Don't Own You, They Just Think They Do
Monday, 17 November, 2025
They don’t pay you enough to control you. They don’t own you. They just think they do.In this episode, we’re talking about side jobs, shop control, and the unspoken truth every tech knows: the dealer doesn’t get a say in what you do after you clock out. They want your time, your loyalty, your weekends, your silence… without paying you anything close to what that’s worth.So here it is.The reality behind why techs take side work.Why shops hate it but can’t stop it.Why the rules only exist when they benefit management.And why techs are done letting anyone dictate their lives outside the bay.This one is raw, direct, and aimed straight at every tech who’s tired of being treated like property instead of a skilled professional.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
