We have mechanics (technicians) ranging in age from probably 22-60. It doesn't matter how old they are, most of them will slack off if their supervisor is not around to crack the whip.
Sadly, I think some of our younger employees are not given the tools, training, and guidance they need to be successful.

It should be by job. "This job should take you 5 hours (I can do it in 3). Anything over 5, you don't get paid. Anything under 5, you still get paid for 5 hours of work.
Obviously you have to temper that with extraordinary situations which always come up, especially East Coast cars and rust. But a brake job (pads and rotors) on a 2007 Lexus in CA is at most a 1 hour per corner job and that's going very slowly.
