Karma has a way of working out

[Guest Olfablade]

I got a call from my old boss (circa 1994) to tint cars for him. Seems he's tired of going through 50+ tinters since I left and became self employed. Ironically I follow in the steps of Phil Douglas who quit this shop 8 weeks ago. I get 70% commish with my film and my price list, and he gets 3 cars to my one scheduled. I can't sneeze at the work, and he bought a new building with a sweet tint bay set up. I'll post some pics as soon as it is all set up. This is a lesson to not burn your bridges. I only wish he called a year ago. I'm not too big in the ego dept to humble myself to do work for him. I have to chase the $ where it is. BTW I left and became self employed after he punched me in the face over a Saturn coupe rusting incident. I told him in front of customers that he didn't know what he was talking about, and that set him off. He insisted that it was a film issue, and I told him I could redo the car 10 times and it would still have the same issue. Some of you would have the same issue with the Mexican Beetles.

So I work for another shop 3+ days a week now

aint that true. I am actually doing a car this week for the place that fired me in december. I pushed hard to keep good with em but it always paid off in referrals.

Wow... punched in the face, yeah that'd get me to walk out too.

Glad I Could Help

Ya, it's nice to get calls from former employers, I got a call around the begining of the summer from the last dealer I worked @ before going on my own, they had 3 tinters in there, and they couldn't keep up with all the cars When I was there, I was by myself and the last 6 months there, I had finally gotten a prepper to help me out.

So now I go in a coupla days a month to help catch em up

I would of had him arrested for assault and then sued him...that way you would of got the money without having to work for it...lol

[Guest Olfablade]

I called the police after it happened. It took them 2 hours to respond. Everyone left after closing. By the time the police responded, everyone was gone. I went to Urgent care after to have Xrays done and handed him the bill the following morning. I was hoping he was gonna fire me, but he didn't. He had to pay the med bill, and I made plans to exit/

Cool story

It's also the first time I've heard getting punched out by your boss for telling him he doesn't know what he's talking about, referred to as a bridge without fire damage.
