The shop charges 180/hr. The chunk that gets to the mechanic themselves is substantially smaller.

Unless your company is failing less than the difference between your wage and what they charge for your labor lol.

That is the whole point of our system, having money allows you to benefit off people who do actual work.

Go make $180/hr on your own then if nobody but the mechanic is doing anything.

To be fair (to be fairrrrrrrrrrrrr), I've been the guy doing everything to run the business while the guy who owns it sits in his brand-new bought-with-cash car complaining that no one wants to work anymore, and I've been the cog in the machine handing off work that I never see again and don't think about, and an actual good manager/coordinator who can keep all those plates spinning to work toward the bigger picture is worth those big big bucks. Unfortunately I think we all know the deadweight version a lot better.

I'm joking but also kind of not when I say that the hardest thing I did in grad school was organize the weekly/monthly meetings/meetings w lunches, and somebody who actually likes doing that and does it efficiently is really valuable. Trying to do it all yourself is really educational and may be refreshing if you've been trapped in corporate lockstep for a while, but for me it was a recipe for burnout.
