Waterbury, CT | As far as I'm concerned.. throw the bastards in jail for 10 years.
In my book..mistreating animals is akin to mistreating kids.
With that said however..this has what to do with Comcast?

| Rick, you need to check with the home office to get your new talking points.
The new tack is to accept responsibility for screw-ups like this. A tremendous leap forward, PR wise.
From the video:
"We are outraged, and deeply saddened by this incident. We are cooperating fully with the police and will take appropriate action once we have all the facts.
Ray Child
Comcast spokesperson"
That's a huge improvement from previous attempts to blame contractors, sub-contractors, anything to deflect blame.
The first step to recovery is to admit you've got a problem. |

To me, the real BroadbandReports story started when everyone starts arguing whether these were or were not Comcast employees. Now that debate speaks volumes!
In every way that matters to the community, these are Comcast employees. That they're outsourced doesn't matter to the public at all.
By the way, the Company PR guy did a great job here. He didn't deflect responsibility for supervising those working on their projects, and he didn't throw the contractors to the wolves en masse.

I agree. Why does their employer matter at all? |

I agree. Why does their employer matter at all? Comcast has been in the press for their employees are contractors and that is what people will see when they are on the job.
These idiots were working a job for Comcast at the time this happened, so that is why it matters.
