thats why i dont like dealers. i worked for them along time. and they just want nice cars. they should take them to car washes. for them to detail. and then sell i whant ppl that love nice cars. and when they see a detail i whant there jaw to drop. i under stand that a company cannot pay a employee if the employee cannot pay for him self. whats the point. but just raise your price and show the diffrence. do a walk around the car before and afther. play they remember game and make sure the owner is happy.

As said earlier, I think the best strategy is to stay employed and look for a better job in the interim. It is best to not be seen as a quitter and an angry employer may just use it against you when talking to his friends.

In the end your reputation will be what is needed to secure future jobs and customers once you get out on your own.

I think Bunky summorized what everyone is saying. Don't misunderstand what I said; "sticking to your gun's" is relative to the position you are in. Find a good mentor who has "been there" and listen. This is a great place to start. It's not so simple to walk out and go on your own full time and make a year round income. You never know who your employer may know and right now his word trumps yours. A mentor of mine once told me when you work in a situation you don't like keep a journal of your likes, dislikes and how you will plan to correct problems. You then have a reference and can avoid "sounding off" and costing yourself a job till you find something else better.
