Guns For Hire

Yesterday was very interesting - I've built up some energy and decided to get back to my crusade of making a positive difference in the human resources section of the Canadian auto collision industry.

Not even sure why I'm so passionate about making a difference - I should do like most techs with years of experience and operate a Bodyshop, close my eyes to the vast human resource issues facing techs and the industry. However, I've never been willing or able to compromise my integrity long-term to own a Bodyshop... especially now that I'm older. Bodyshop owners/managers are an unique set of individuals functioning and surviving in an industry wilder than the wild wild west of yesteryear's - that honors and rewards guns for hire.

I'm not willing to pick up a gun and start blazing away at consumers, insurers, suppliers and techs because I decided to operate in an industry that lacks structure so, I can save off a few percentage points on my bottom line.

Techs are you willing to become a hired gun and operate your own Bodyshop business or is that not fair to say?

Lacks Structure
