Humble, TX | Re: Mac the BA DSL Guy Pardon my ignorance.
No, what I should say is "Help me reduce a part of my ignorance.
What is "BA"? I've assumed it was Bell Atlantic.
If so, why the office on Houston?
Personal requirements - such as availability, pay scale, etc? Other cost considerations? Hours?
Just curious. Thanks and good luck. |

Why Houston? If you want a good operational definition of the term "draconian", check out the State employment laws in both Texas & Virginia, especially those regarding the "Right To Work". |

Answer. BA outsourced the tech to Getronics/Wang, who in turn outsourced the staffing to a temp agency. Getronics/Wang is located in Houston, hench "Why Houston?".
I cannot give out my personal hours and days off (for privacy and retaliation from BA intrests), but there are three shifts. Day, Night, and Graveyard. All are 8 hours (8 1/2 with our measy 30 minute lunch). Payscale for techs starts at 10 an hour, which is not bad for this area of the world.
I hope that answers your question. |

Re: Mac the BA DSL Guy Well east coast wages are ALOT hire than in Texas most people in the south will work for 10hr where on the east coast u can't get them to work for less than 15hr with a 2k sign on bonus. Studies have shown that 1 out 3 Technical people on the east coast are truely good at what they do, that figure is more like 1 out of 10 in the south. |
