We've recently added the ability to change the width of this site to flow with the various widescreen monitor sizes. Currently we are at a fixed width that does not change and is the most commonly used, somewhere around 950px.

 

Now more than ever, widescreen desktop monitors and laptops allow for more viewing space. With that, we introduced a fluid with that will stretch the width of this site to fill your screen better, and allow for more room to view.

 

Currently our default is our fixed width, and we would like to know what you prefer. Our new fluid width will always be an option, but maybe it should be our new default?

 

How to change the style to check? Look to the bottom of the board, for a drop down selector (you will also see our mobile version in the drop down, for phones). Try out the fluid style, you can change it anytime.... I've attached a poll to this thread, please vote and add your comments.

I use a 22" monitor and I like the wide screen.

 

xrac, did you have it widescreen before I posted this thread? Just curious if you or anyone else found the selection drop down at the bottom of the site. There is no way forme to telll who uses what... :(

      It always amazes me when I hear about a technician who quits one repair shop to go work at another shop for less money. I know you have heard of this too, and you’ve probably asked yourself, “Can this be true? And Why?” The answer rests within the culture of the company. More specifically, the boss, manager, or a toxic work environment literally pushed the technician out the door.
      While money and benefits tend to attract people to a company, it won’t keep them there. When a technician begins to look over the fence for greener grass, that is usually a sign that something is wrong within the workplace. It also means that his or her heart is probably already gone. If the issue is not resolved, no amount of money will keep that technician for the long term. The heart is always the first to leave. The last thing that leaves is the technician’s toolbox.
      Shop owners: Focus more on employee retention than acquisition. This is not to say that you should not be constantly recruiting. You should. What it does means is that once you hire someone, your job isn’t over, that’s when it begins. Get to know your technicians. Build strong relationships. Have frequent one-on-ones. Engage in meaningful conversation. Find what truly motivates your technicians. You may be surprised that while money is a motivator, it’s usually not the prime motivator.
      One last thing; the cost of technician turnover can be financially devastating. It also affects shop morale. Do all you can to create a workplace where technicians feel they are respected, recognized, and know that their work contributes to the overall success of the company. This will lead to improved morale and team spirit. Remember, when you see a technician’s toolbox rolling out of the bay on its way to another shop, the heart was most likely gone long before that.
