That fellow got a job, just in another shop. A skilled mechanic will always get a good job at high pay. (Wouldn't it be great if the same were true for skilled writers?)

My friend, the one who paid more attention to grammar than content was the real loser. By correcting the mechanic's CV instead of hiring him for his skills, he lost his company. The mechanic he eventually hired inspired no confidence in his customer base, therefore no word-of-mouth endorsements, which as most will agree, are the best advertising to be had, especially in a small city.
