A lot of people would be a lot happier and more free if they took a little lesson from Aaron and his decision making. He’s doing what he loves and he’s doing it on his own terms. Richard has plenty of money he could just find another master mechanic to over work to meet his impossible deadlines lol. No boss cares about you. They only care about the money you make them.

      Not sure why this is so current when it happened years ago? Summed up really quick with Richards comments, “he worked for me for 14 years”, when it should have been they worked together for 14 years. Richard was the Sales guy, Aaron was the Shop guy, but it came down to one owner and not two. I’m sure that stung. But who knows, a lot scripted, a lot we the public don’t know. But I will say, bad business model; every leader has a strong right hand man, and Richard didn’t see it that way (apparently).

      Huge fan of the show, I agree, and in fairness, people need to evolve in their professional lives. Don't blame Kaufman for quitting, he did 14 years working in the same job. People need to move when they get itchy feet. Hindsight says that some of the deadlines for finishing those cars would have aggravated the purist in him. Perhaps if he had been offered a big chunk of business ownership then it might have swayed his opinion, but that's a moot point. In a small group there's always a potential banana skin if you're too reliant on one person and their presence is pretty much taken for granted.

    This can all be summed up very easily. Look at what Aaron drove off in. A regular mans work truck. But 100+ hours a week he had to build cars for Richards personal collection and customer cars. Richard made the money, reaped the major benefits, and Aaron just stayed humble and he saw how much Richard and the business changed around him and did what he had to do. Fast forward to today, Aaron is where he should be, highly respected and recognized by his own style.

Plus when you put in 14 years of work for the same boss and the 80-100 hours of work during every week, sleeping/napping in the garage next to the builds as you are on a deadline to finish the cars, while your boss makes huge money off of your work and you get a normal paycheck, i completely understand why Aaron left. Overwork your staff, underpay them and one day the cup will overflow and they'll leave and not even look back as they do so.
      Did this hurt the show in the end? I'd like to think so, as the show wasn't the same after he left, many stopped watching (including me) i don't even know if it's airing anymore? But yea, work burnout is a big thing and you don't want that to happen to your staff.

I told him and then took him out to lunch. I am not a pushy sales type person and I appreciated his style and so did the customers. My store closed down 1.5 years after they moved me out ( I got downgraded to assistant manage of a huge store so my income actually went up slightly ) as customers just stopped wanting to go to a pressure sales place to shop.( the sales people were all replaced by new pressure sales people ) I saw RS's demise coming years before it happened. Management stopped caring at all about the experience and just wanted sales. I can understand getting burned out. Many times the money doesn't matter if you are miserable. I left Radio Shack < a year after that, never to return. I have been self Employed since, I get to do it my way now.

It's easy to talk bullshit about richard, but in the end of the day, he's the one that has to think on how to keep moving foward, how to pay the bills, how to get promotions, magazine covers, how to keep moving foward.
      Guess that this doesn't even matter, Richard proved that Aaron is replacable (company wise, not show, he was great in the show and I do miss him) and kept making money, building new crazy cars and making a name on the car world.

    I got the chance to meet Aaron at Arclight in Dallas when they were in the process of moving to their new shop back in 2019. I'd never heard of him, but my wife was a huge fan and was geeking out. She kind of painted this image of a Hollywood superstar mechanic, and when we came to the shop, his assistant brought us back, and he was just standing there cleaning his tools and packing up. We talked for a while, got some photos, and helped them pack a little. He's a genuine and amazing guy, complete polar opposite of Rawlins.

    Aaron has hated Richard since the second year of the show. They are never on set together unless they are shooting. Richard is a complete jerk that did way too much coke and Aaron just hated it. I can't believe Aaron made it as long as he did. BTW, nearly everyone working on the show hated Richard.

    • @atrem7942
      @atrem7942 4 роки тому +5

      I believe you about Aaron & the other employees TV crew. He works them like they are his slaves, on his plantation. The coke claim can't be made without hard proof as I see it. And any amount of coke used is too much. It would not surprise me at all if he did, it fits his behaviour. But it also fits that of a narcissist who thinks he king of his own world. Maybe without the drugs he is a really nice guy, but that is hard to believe having watched the program from the beginning, he didn't change that much or at all over that time. From a viewers point a view I would have like to have seen the build up to the point where Aaron couldn't take it no more better captured on camera then choose to let us see.. Like discovery did do with OCC. They already did a spinoff with the old crew in his first shop so why not do it with Aaron too? Probably because Rawlings had put in the contract Aaron could not make a new show on the channel without rawlings being involved. Or it is a discovery decision or Aaron 's. But he does have a UA-cam channel with a car show so that would rule the last option out. I think he has also fired one of the painters who has been with the show for a long time. Also Sue is out of the picture. She even hated him on camera
