join:2005-01-03 | Unnecessary I installed DirecTV for a few years. If you're in an urban or suburban area, you can find a convenience store. If you're in a rural area, you can find a tree to piss behind. It was never a problem for me, so why is it such a problem for Qwest's techs that they feel they need to implement such a solution? All people in all lines of work must find ways to use the bathroom when necessary, so it shouldn't be such a big deal for Qwest.
Here's a few other points:
Urinating in a small device/container can be messy. Does Qwest at least supply hand sanitizer, since there obviously isn't a sink in the truck to wash up? Because that's just what I want, a tech handling my telephone with urine on his hands.
Where are you supposed to use this? If you're in the truck, other people can probably see you. If you are in an area where nobody can see you, chances are you can just get out of the truck and pee on the ground anyway. And as was said above, can you imagine the uproar it would cause if someone DID happen to witness a tech using this?
Throwing away a container with urine in it is ILLEGAL, as it is a biohazard (not that you're likely to get caught by authorities, but usually if a waste company finds it in your garbage when they are removing it, they will tack a on a hefty fee to your bill - happened to Swift Trucking). So the time saved by peeing in the device is wasted finding a suitable and discrete location to empty it (although I like the suggestion above - leave it on the boss's desk).

There comes a point in your life when you get tired of fixing everything and wiping everyone's ass. But it’s not giving up. It’s realizing that you don’t need certain people and the bullshit and drama they bring to your life. |

Perhaps Qwest should implement this? | 
Ballmer's brother demonstrating the bag |
-Yes, it's for men and women
-Yes, there's another product for poop
-Yes, it's approved for disposal in normal trash (read the site to find out how)
-Yes, many people that work in the field already have them
-Yes, each one comes with a disinfecting wipe (which you probably don't have if you're pissing on trees and shrubs - nice way to represent your business, btw!)
-Yes, I'd like some for my car please
And for giggles, two snaps from their site...

Qwest is pushing jobs per day period. Let go thru voluntary separation as many as want with small package then rest maybe a layoff or not but do the work.
This manager drank the koolaid. His uppers may have pushed also but if any bad only this manager.
First levels must meet all quotas period also.Plus this story should not exist. If Qwest sent a Christmas or Easter card to employees it would say all confidential up to and including termination. |

I do not know about illegal as diapers for babies exist. But maybe ask the customer can I throw this in your trash.  I was saving my company money so you could pay less. Thanks so very much. (sarcasm)
Or not at a customers house and no stops as in time wasted throw it out the truck window. |

| Throwing it out the window will usually get you a ticket in most states for litering. Too many people with cell phones to call in your license plate.
I agree with the poster above. If your in the city then stop at a gas station or store. If in the country, pull over and park the truck. Thorw out a cone or two and go your business. How many copps are going to stop if they see you on the side of the road with cones out and/or lights on? They fly right by in my neck of the woods.
I for one NEVER let any telco or cable technician in the house to do anything. I do it myself. Half of these guys don't know what they are doing in the first place. The other half are in such a rush that they cut corners that I wind up having to fix later anyway. |

If half of the techs don't know how to fix your simple inside wiring issues, then that means that 99% of customers that think they can do it themselves, can't. Glad you're in the 1%. |
