Hello guys and Gals,
Wanting to introduce my self. My name is RIck. I am a newbie to GM Parts. I have worked for NAPA Auto Parts for the past 12 years. Before that I was a Chrysler tech and filled in for Parts dept on Saturdays.
I came to work for GM last fall 3 days before the STRIKE as a Part Time Counter Guy at my dealership. Then In November Of last year I took over the Dept as Manager. It has been one heck of a first year for me. Dealing with the strike now all this COVID 19 stuff. So I feel If I can make it through my first year. I will have it made.
Anyway I may be on here asking a few questions from time to time. Hopefully you all can help me out.

Welcome Rick.
I started in parts in 1975, have been a manager since 1981 all GM stores. I've seen a lot of changes over the years. Like any job it has it's ups and downs, but it's been a good career for me. Life is evolving and change happens, try not to let too much negativity get to you. Not all change is bad, just find a way to make it fit for you. I'm not sure any of this makes sense but I'm just trying to say keep a positive attitude and things should be OK. This forum helps a lot. And with people like Zep33, you will get a chuckle once in a while.
