Why I Chose Unity Over Division In The Tech Repair Industry And You Should Too
You've probably heard me talk a lot about industry unity because, quite frankly, the Tech Care Industry ( those in repair, support, reuse, and recycle ) are such an incredibly divided industry it's hurting everyone. I truly believe that if we could learn to work with each other ( unity without conformity ) then we could easily double the size of the industry. Let's start working on that now! This lack of unity hit me like a ton of bricks recently when I read a story about one shop owner that got caught robbing a competitors shop AND destroying repair equipment during the robbery. Yea, destroying repair equipment. Sacrilege!! And, Why?! Now both shops have been damaged and the industries reputation at the same time (negative news & talk just make us look bad). Think of this horrible incident in context of greater industrywide disunity. People in the industry spend a lot of their time trashing the competition in one way or another. We are hurting/worried about each other
