Stress
How do you fellas and felletes deal with the stress of this job?
Been a service writer at a few different dealers over the last 6ish years. The current place i am at is like a revolving door for service writers. I have been loyal here for 4 years. Every six months a service writer either quits or is fired. We have 3 service writing desks and seems to always be an empty one at some point. I have "trained" about 5 service writers since starting here. Ive lost my patience with training new hires. I barely have time to write and take care of the customers. I usually write between 20-30 repair orders a day. And a fellow writer that writes about 8-12. While only being in the game for about 3 months. He does his best but hes older and slow. . Im burnt out beyond stressed and sick of being treated like a dog. Im not sure how management thinks this is okay. Ive laid out hints that im struggling and running out of mental capacity to keep this up. I dont know what to do. I get paid well because of the volume I do but im wearing so many hats. I do my own warranty claims, schedule and put customers in loaners. We don't have porters. So I pull cars around for customers, bag and tag vehicles myself. I also schedule appointments, answer the phone when paged. All while nearly always trying to train someone new. Any tips, advice from seasoned vets? Thanks in advance. Just a young man trying tk save for a house.
