I finally got into HVAC as an *apprentice*, even though I know literally everything about it anyway.
We do residences.
This scumfuck company is using broken equipment to diagnose people's shit. It always comes back bad so they show it to the customer and the customer obviously says "yes, replace the entire thing." Like a switch will be off and instead of flipping the motherfucker, they lie and sell a $3500 unit. Apparently this is the industry standard. Every HVAC company does this. They lie and use broken garbage to take advantage of stupid people's ignorance.
No other company would hire me. It's literally this or nothing. Furthermore, I have brought this up to people in my life. They're reaction is to act like I'm insane for having a fucking conscious. I'd blow my chance to get into HVAC because I don't want to scam people out of thousands of dollars, therefore I'm a idiot fuckup.
This country and these people are utterly lost. I nearly despise them all but I love them more than anything in this world. Even though I hate these people with every inch of my soul, I will not scam them or wrong them.
I'm going to lose this job because I'm supposed to be a salesman and my numbers aren't going to be up to standard. I failed as a business owner because I don't scam people. I failed as a writer and artist because I don't sign my work and therefore people steal it.
What else is left? What would Jesus do?
*Maybe.*
>Are they saying that, or did other companies do it in your own experience?
I've been dealing with HVAC companies for years. Things are starting to add up now. Before I just thought HVAC guys were all retarded.
