Glenn still got paid his salary - And his employer has to be happy it got done in one shift (or pieces of two) -

i look at it a couple ways - it probably ended up a wash, as the profit for the covered hours was lost to the other other hour.
it could have taken 12 hours. if it doesn't squeak when it is done, ya gotta call it success.

there are other areas to make money - just keep the customers coming back. In the end, $$$ will be made.

Key word is Salary.

I'm flat rate only get paid for what the the book says. Plus if no work, no pay.

GM dealers have no cash customers. We have effectively priced our cash customers to go somewhere else @$170.00 per hour. Only warranty, goodwill, or crybaby assistance. The good ol days of making time are gone.

Dealers don't want to pay for good techs. They figure anyone can be trained to turn a monkeywrench. Ads for employees go unanswered, nobody wants to do this for the crappy pay, lousy benefits, stupid hours, and no future.
 
1 minute = 1.66666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666 time units?
That's messed up even for Germany. But do they round up or down for fractional time units?
