Of all the industries I've worked in, none have as many "gotcha's" as working in parts.
Post Body

It seems as if every single thing I do, day after day, has some sort of tiny unspoken mistake waiting for me around every corner. Just waiting to make me look like a jackass.

Everything seems to have it's own procedure that needs to be written down, memorized, and executed perfectly at lighting speed to keep up with the high volume we deal with.

Every single day I come in to some BS that happened a week prior because of some "gotcha" being missed.

What makes it laughable is that it's normally small differenceces that only pop up once in a blue moon that your supposed to remember for every little thing you do.

At my last dealership it took just about a year to be proficient and avoid these little jackass landmines. Naturally when I got to that level I was transferred to a different dealership and brand and have to start all over again.

At least my manager has plenty of time to blast me for every small thing that goes wrong. Unfortunately though he's just to darn busy with solitaire (If he bothers to show up that day) to show me how to do things right.

Pair that with asking any questions being an invitation to roast how stupid you are and we've got just the jolliest place to work.

My manager has been in this dealership for 26 to 27 years managing for about 2-3 ive been here a year come the beginning of this month. I still ask questions just to be sure and on things im not certain on i go through him and while hes usually busy af he still helps when he can. Hes a very active parts manager as opposed to some ive heard of. Im a little known for aski g shit when im uncertain because I dont like being wrong and the cause of a issue. Ill go out and double check shit with techs when they ask for quotes. Always ask questions to cover yourself IMO.
