Episode 57: We Got FIRED… And It Was TREMENDOUS for Our Careers – Fixed Ops Focus with Dave Rogers and Steve Shaw
It happens to the best of us. In Episode 57 of Fixed Ops Focus, Steve Shaw and Dave Rogers crack open one of the most honest — and weirdly hilarious — topics in this business: getting fired.
It starts with a friend of Steve’s who just got let go. That one story sends Dave and Steve straight into the Wayback Machine, where they relive the times THEY got fired from the dealership, what those moments taught them, and how they came back stronger. Then they flip
the script to the other side of the desk — the associates they’ve had to let go — and the part nobody likes to talk about: what happens to the whole organization when a manager gets fired.
It’s raw, it’s funny, and it’s loaded with leadership lessons every dealer, GM, and fixed ops leader needs to hear. Because how you handle a firing — on either side of it — says everything about your culture.
