my job sucks

[Roach]

I do understand going on my own will be hard, but its got to be more rewarding than this.

You'd think it would be... and it might, but it's a hard struggle starting off. If that's what you decide to do, just make sure you think of EVERYTHING and count the costs before making the change. IF its going to work, then go for it. But make sure you have a backup plan as well in case rent is due and you have no money coming it.

Obviously it's doable... just be smart about it and you'll be all that more likely to have things work out for ya.

shoot for at least a % commission on your tinting. after you get that ask for an hourly raise for the rest of your labor.

or when I was at a shop years ago I made hourly and a smaller commission. I think it was $7.50 plus 5% commission. after a while I got it up to 12.5%. I didnt want to go full commission cuz I would hurt in the winter.

Just to answer and reply to some of your posts. I'm in the sandhills of NC.. I have asked for a raise several times. I am hourly. NO XMAS BOUNS!! The shop isnt just tint I have a whole load of other work to do instaling parts. I guess thats another big issue too,it feels like the whole buisness seems to hang on weather or not I come in and.....nothing.

A 40 to 60 hour work week doesnt bother me, its the 40+ hours a week making jack V's a little in my pocket.

is right on the money. So is 27tint4. We ALL did crappy work at first. I know I cringe when I think about what I let go out the door my first few years. But after 10 years, one gets the idea that OK just dont cut it. And there are more than a few on here qualified to call some work crappy. I do not bash others work. (I just smile and politely walk away as I snicker)

I never did crapy work

Dude, if your all that and a box of cracker jacks, then you'd have gotten a raise

Otherwise your boss doesn't see the potential in his/her employees, in which case you would be better off seeking another source of employment, only you know which one is right for your situation
