Corporate 

The company I work for is Corporate owned. Over the last couple weeks there have been some major shifts in staffing, they are "Right Sizing" the company, again at the headquarters and all their stores although for the last 3 quarters have been very profitable and they let us all know this. 

Profit 

We have worked very hard this year and 44% net and a 104.2% customer satisfaction isn't cutting it, they now want me up towards 50% net . I will lose 1 key staff member because some pencil pusher looking at the bottom line instead of people and performance. With this person gone they will save money on wages thus increasing my net but the rest of my team and customers will suffer because of this.

My Position 

Why am I telling you guys this? Because my staff was cut down by 4 years ago and we made it work but we can't continue to work this way. I MUST focus on what I am doing here and work my ass off to get out of this daytime 7am to 5pm (if I'm lucky) job. With the help of WA I need to button down and really ramp it up because I may not have my current job for another year and I can't afford to lose the income.

Timeline 

I am giving myself 6 months to kill my daytime job and with the help I get here and a lot of determination I can do it. These corporately owned companies and the fat cats are just getting fatter and I cannot and will not continue to work for them whether it is on my own accord or not. I have been in the Automotive Service business for over 20 years and I can see it is now time to leave it.
