Accused me, as Parts Manager, of things that were not true, i.E., "all the salespersons hate you", and "all of the girls in the office say you are a smart aleck", and "L..., the office manager, says you never complete any of the projects she gives you." I asked all of these people if they hated me, thought I was a smart aleck, etc. They all said "No, I think you're a nice guy" and "you always helped us out when we needed it." L..., the office manager, told me, "We don't have much interaction and I've never given you a project. That's just the way Scott is."
He told me I hadn't accomplished a thing and that I was a moocher for taking my salary while I was there for 3 1/2 months. I reduced his idle inventory by $35,000 and increased his stock order efficiency by 100%!!! I held gross profit at 34% vs. A goal of 30%. The off the shelf fill rate jumped 50%! The technicians had literally no complaints as I was now stocking more of the fast moving parts.
I hired someone for my department on his approval and request to help grow the business. The pay plan he finally approved put the person at just over minimum wage. The person who had already been there only made $23,000 last year, vs., according to my telphone surveys of other dealers in the area, an average of $32-$36,000 per year for persons in the same position. And he wonders why he has high turnover!
Don't ever work for Scott Evans. He doesn't appreciate his employees.
