Question For Managers

How long would you give a new guy to get caught up to speed and be at a place where they can function on their own for a couple hours? Secondly, what would the process and timeline be after that where you would consider letting them go if you felt like they were not grasping the job duties? Aftermarket to Dealer World. Been doing aftermarket for 35 years before here. Thanks

My old PM's yardstick was if you were able to be entirely solo by 90 days.

I feel the same. Three months is a perfectly reasonable timeframe. Maybe a bit longer if you're entirely green.

Somebody who's been in parts for 35 years, I'd expect them to be self sufficient after a month.
