On any given day on the job for AT&T @Home, they would send us out without fittings or splitters... with bad modems... no software.... no network cards... and for three weeks straight, no fucking cable! I know... I had the same question: How the hell am I supposed to run cable if I don't have any? Their answer? "Don't worry about it. Just make it work". Every day we were missing something. And these are not convenience items... that stuff is absolutely necessary to getting it done. They couldn't afford to keep supplies in the warehouse, and the techs ended up stealing shit from each others trucks when no one was looking. Pretty bad when you are forced to become a thief just to do your job. Then they cut everyone's pay. I eventually quit because I was working twelve hours a day and going home with $25 in my pocket.
There is no doubt that change is in the wind for them. The only question is what will will that change be and when?
