Villanova, PA | I call BS It is not because they don't want FIOS to succeed, it is because they get paid the same whether they do 1 job a day or 10. A VZ tech was out last week to install phone, tv and internet service at my neighbor's house. He commented to me that he needed to figure out a way to stretch this install because it was Friday and it was 95 degrees out. Thus a 3-4 hour install took all day. |

| I have to agree. If your pay is not tied to your production they have not much incentive to move faster. They should required them an avg of at least 2 installations per day. If they cannot modify their pay then offer incentive to those that do exceed the avg. |

No union is all performance AND production.
And thinking that going fiber will equate to LESS manpower is insane. Resturcture the current levels sure, but they will never need LESS techs to work with technology and demand.
Union BS propaganda.

Dont know about then rest of the world, but here on Long Island, we havent gotten a raise in the past 10 years that even comes close to the cost of living in the area.
And I hope you get the guy who is on his "second Job" and cause he is shot from the first job in 100 degree heat, and with 5 tvs and 3 computers and nothing run and the customer telling him he dose not want to see any wire and, and , and. And then he drills in to your water pipe, or you electric main or better yet he hits the natural gas. All because he was in a rush to make his prick boss happy and get the job done quicker. |
