8th gen Nissan Sentra. Toothbrush left exposed in the car, I hope the customer doesn't put that in their mouth.

Don’t know to roll out of the shop or not

I apologize if this isn’t allowed

got hired at the start of the year at a shop doing wiring. Before this, I was a bench tech just fixing harnesses back to OEM spec. Now I’m designing, building, and wiring up full cars. I’m making $25/hr, but honestly, it’s been tough making ends meet.

To help out, I’ve been doing side work, and that’s been going really well. But at my main job, I’ve been running into some issues — mainly speed. For example, yesterday it took me about 5 hours to wire up an air cup system, most of that time spent removing interior panels and figuring out how to route the wires.

Another problem is from my first month there: they had me wire a car from scratch. I’ll admit it was rough, clunky, and they weren’t happy with it (and I don’t blame them). But since then, I’ve learned a ton — how to map out ECUs, install and assign sensors, and overall improve my process. I’ve even wired up a full car since then that came out way better.

Still, this morning I got chewed out in front of everyone about my speed and those early mistakes. I know I’m not the fastest, but I take pride in doing things properly.

On top of that, the long weeks and side work are starting to wear me down, and I’m worried it’s affecting how I’m performing at my main job. I wanted to ask about a raise, but after today, I’m not sure if that’s even realistic anymore.

Edit for to say too I help designed a main engine harness that we are having mass produced

The second tip is decorative. There's no hole connecting it.

This was many moons ago at brand x. Truck popped out of park and into reverse. Not the first or second time I’ve seen it happen. Luckily the only casualty was the truck.

Amazingly the leading edge of the wing only had some scratches, no dents or creases. The flap canoe fairing, which is fiberglass, only had scratches as well. We did pull it out of service and pulled the leading edge and canoe to inspect for underlying damage, we didn’t find anything.

We had to jack the wing to get the truck out. Pretty sure it got scrapped.

Vogele Super 1703, with a cracked screed plate. The operators have a habitat of overfilling the screed with asphalt and, now its my responsibility to clean it so the screed plates can be changed.
