This reminds me of how things have changed, for the better in my opinion, in our industry. When I first started selling cars in 1978 I was told that I was on the "B" shift, you'll be here when we open and you'll be here when we close. Thats the way it was back then. The long hours and the grind of our biz was something that I learned at a very early age. That doesnt make it right. I still work more hours than I should. But just because I do it does not mean that I expect my sales staff to do it. Our guys are scheduled 45 hours a week, most work a bit more than that, but we do not guilt trip them for taking their time off. I feel I probably would not hire too many good people these days if the interview included the "B shift" speech that I got. So, Cheers to forward progress!
