Hammond, IN | AT&T reminds me of When I was 16 (in 2001) , there was a medium sized steel redistribution company in South Chicago that used to pay me 20-40 bucks to fix their buildings network when it went down randomly. It was a company of about 40-50 employees and PC's, and 2 file servers . They did not want to hire a technician because of the cost.
for almost 6 years, I kept coming back to fix their network for cheap when it went down. Hoping to get hired from them some day, their CEO kept praising me and leading me on when I would fix his laptop for him.
then one day they called me and said they had a job for me.
But it was a labor job out in the yard for $9/per hour, I needed the money so I took the job.
and of course, when I was working their, they would call me in to fix things all the time. Then they would not pay me the 20-40 bucks anymore, and tried to say that I was already being paid on the clock ($9/hour).
At that point I told them.
"Sorry, my job description is a union laborer, if you want me to keep fixing things you are going to have to pay separately for it at a minimum of $20/hour" (Which I thought was fair)
They did not want to pay that, so they PAID A TECHNICIAN TO MOVE TO THE USA FROM CANADA!! AND HIRED HIM AS AN OFFICIAL TECHNICIAN.
I've never felt more disgruntled...
Moral of this story...well don't fix things for cheap to try to get hired. |
