So most flat rate techs think they want to have the highest possible average efficiency rate. They’re wrong. What you really want is an average efficiency rate of 150%. Every tech with 200% or more efficiency will be taken for granted, abused, and exploited. Keep your average at 60 hours a week. Turn a 200%+ week no more frequently than once a month. Want/need more money? Don’t turn more hours. Ask for raises. I used to have an average of 250% efficiency. It did me no favors, made my job worse. At 150% things are way better.
