Anyone got any estimates of what Subaru stated for the same job, just for comparison sake?

They didn't set them up to fail. They set them up to not make any money doing the job. If you can turn 60 hours a week why does it matter that you lost time on one or two jobs? If the shops were taking care of their techs they would let them punch on to available time once they hit the 12 hour warranty pay. At least make some money while you're losing your ass. It's pretty clear it isn't the tech's fault they can't hit the time, 12 hours seems really really low.
You win some you lose some. Young guys want to win on every single job and throw a fit when they can't. We have hourly guys that get pissed over it, makes zero sense to me. I've made 400 hours in a month, one time. I'm not mad I don't make that every month, I just smile and bust ass to make the next dollar.
