Maybe having 228 employees per dealership was part of his problem!
Maybe GMCSonoma or some other dealer guy in here can tell us if this is an excessive number of employees for a dealership... It sure sounds like it is!
I'm trying to add it up: say, receptionist, a dozen salesmen, a sales manager, F&I guy or two, warranty clerk, TTL clerk, two or three porters/washers, parts manager, two or three parts counter guys, a parts runner, service manager, two or three service writers, a dozen techs, two or three body/paint guys, half a dozen "girls in the office" and the G.M...
Seems like even an average-sized dealership would be seriously overstaffed once payroll hit 100 employees.
