Concerns about my workplace
Hello, I apologize in advance for the structure as I don't post on reddit often, and also am on mobile, anyway.
For context
I have only been in the business for about 2 months, I landed an entry level GST position at a smaller shop, but still owned by a bigger company, about 7 locations throughout the state. Also, no one here is flat rate, from me, to my coworker who's worked here for over 20 years, we're all hourly.
Anyway, throughout my time here and especially my training, I've gained a few concerns.
1: pay is based on speed, instead of skill, instead of higher pay based on experience, or certifications etc, its based on how fast you can get cars out the door.
For example (I don't have exact numbers because no one will tell me) but, 2 of the senior techs here have complained many times based on how the other GST is getting paid, because he's the fastest, he's (in the other techs words) a few dollars short of what they are getting paid.
2:Due to number 1, there's an excess of shortcuts, skipping things on inspection, guessing some measurements based on a quick glance such as tire tread and brake pads(i know most experienced people can do it by eye, but I've gone behind and properly measured on multiple occasions, and it's sometimes wrong by 3 or more 32nds)
And just overall the "quantity over quality" mindset and this leads to a multitude of issues, such as comebacks, or complaints.
And I know its not okay with the company because anytime a bigger boss comes through, everyone complete flips their mentality, and will even through others (me included) under the bus to cover their ass.
3: the treatment towards me. After I was put out on my own, and was in my own bay, I decided to not cut those corners, and focus on quality, because I genuinely do love my job and cars in general, and would hate to screw someone over, even by negligence. And so, instead of being as quick as everyone else, I take a little longer. Usually I still get under or exactly 45 minutes (what they want us to aim for) but sometimes, especially if some things are hard to get to, or just not coming off (in Wisconsin, so rust is a big one lol) I take up to an hour on cars, which is the allowed time, and I've only been late twice.
But because of this, people are extremely annoying/hostile towards me, and i think the service manager believes im trying to milk the clock.
Such as random workers telling me to "hurry up" when they hand me a ticket, people randomly coming to check on me after 25 minutes, and usually walking back to the service mangers office. Repeatedly asking me whats taking so long in the middle of a job. Sometimes just standing there and watching, even when they have a car to work on (especially when im struggling with tires/flat repairs)
And I know, workplace banter and making fun of people is a part of the job, and I know and 100% accept that, I've worked in a kitchen/restaurant business almost all my life, always back of house, so I know workplace banter lol.
Anyway, the main point of this post is to ask if im overreacting at all because im so new of course.
And if im not how long should I stay at this location? I don't exactly know if anywhere else would hire me with just 2 months of experience and a toolbox to show for my skills.
Thank you
