Yep, and because of that it severely limits the extent of the work I'm allowed to do. Brakes? Forget that for an apprentice, it's gravy. Annual maintenance service? Gravy. Flushes? Gravy. Anything that would be an opportunity for a learning experience even though I diagnosed it and know how to do it? Nope, gravy. Greed runs straight flat shops.

im not a tech, nor plan on ever becoming one.
my issue is that im having a hard time moving to a different position in the dealership when most want to keep me as the tower/dispatcher, especially when it affects their paycheque.
lesson learned, the more you take on, the more ppl expect you to keep doing it. especially if it means they dont have to do it anymore...

Took me about a year to move into the shop, but that's considering I took a BCIT Foundation course to shore up some skills before making the move.
