Much has been said and written about the technician shortage - why techs are leaving the automotive industry, how to stop the bleeding, and the best way to retain techs. The conversation keeps starting up in the middle of the story. By the time a technician has left the industry for good, the story is halfway over. But things began far earlier. Before they quit working in automotive repair, they first had to quit their job working in a shop. They had to feel helpless about reaching the compensation and fulfillment they wanted and deserved in their job, and then seeing that same story playing out everywhere else they looked. This is why the story of the technician shortage isn't one of some grand failure needing a miraculous top-down resolution. Believe me, I've seen the outlandish solutions proposed by some. If your plan to fix an industry requires creating some ruling committee or governmental oversight, it missed the point entirely. |
