Why Your Techs Leave for LESS Money

And so over the years we've learned to pack the hourly rate with, you know, because we'd, we'd literally lost technicians that were going to go take a job making less because they didn't understand their effective hourly rate. So like, let's say they're making $27, but their effective is $35 with all the bonuses. They would take a job for $30 thinking they were making more money. Which is odd. It doesn't, it doesn't make any logical sense, but it's reality. And so when, you know, when a technician is putting their head down on the pillow at night, oftentimes that hourly rate that they actually are making per hour, less bonuses, is the number they think they're getting paid.
