Greg,

Why make someone else's sloth or incompetence your problem? Vote with
your feet. After enough people cast their "ballots", management will
get the picture or natural selection will run its course.

Life is too short to tolerate this kind of nonsense.

Good luck.

Greg,
first decide who is salvageable and who is not. Some are easily led by
bad example and can be led by good example.
Second put an add fro their jobs in one or more local papers. specify
multiple openings.
You are going to need at least one certified A&P per shift and at least
one or more IA on staff.
Some will read the paper and get the hint. they should be the top of the
second wave of firings.
anyone who is left should fired on the spot they ae just sucking the
company dry.
You should have a manager for the shop. if you do advertise there job
too and firing them immediately.
Any of this other stuff they are doing should be done on lunch or after
hours.

Anyone here familiar with how to manage a repair shop?

Our flight school has 20 aircraft and a hangar full of mechanics, but
nothing much seems to get fixed. Instead, you'll often find the
mechanics working on lawn mowers, boat motors, and painting minivans.

I'm wondering how more professional shops manage the time of the
employees, measuring their productivity and controlling costs.

Thanks.
