The point of working for a cable company is to move up. So many levels to this shit. Been with Time Warner/Spectrum for 13 years. I wake up and do my thing straight from the crib. Dont have to go into an office. Only see my boss like once a week. Unlimited OT because we pop in my area, so I get it in. Im a level 5 business class tech. Only level after that is fiber tech. Dont want that job or sup position though. No OT in it. Make more money than my supervisor by the end of the year, and can do this shit in my sleep. Personally I love it
There are different levels of fiber techs. You have an in house fiber tech that only deals with the inside of a business and setting up the fiber. Then you have a network tech who deals with fiber outside in the plant. The plant guys get cheese. Im assuming that's what you are referring to. White boys been keeping that position locked up for a while. But techs have been leaving Spectrum since TWC was bought out. They just dont treat us like Time Warner did. Hell Im one of few senior technicians in my office and have only been there for 13 years. All the old heads left. Got a bunch of dumb ass 18-25 year old dudes working for us now. Shit's a shame. If u pay attention to who you see driving around in certain company trucks, that gives u an idea. Half of the AT&T techs look older when I seen them. Our techs look like high schoolers. Shows you how a company is treating its people. Hell, AT&T techs even got a 20 percent pay increase for this virus shit. All we got was 3 extra weeks of vacation and a 25 dollar gift card once a week for a monthI don’t know if it’s the same but I used to mess with this chick who’s dad was a fiber tech for Verizon. He made like 100k+ a year. Is that the same with Comcast.
I work at Gojo...we make purell
I'm in Virginia ( Virginia Beach to be exact) Governor declared everyone stay home period. So my job gave me one of those papers to show the cops I'm permitted to be on the road coming and going to work
Who has been tested?
Because good lord...
Maybe the cure is worse than the disease.
Either I got it or the flu not sure yet but I just been chilling at the house trying not to spread whatever I got.

Yea I got one too.. Whole time I'm like my check is essential but.. Fuck all of yall... You Come deal wit the public during a pandemic then ask yourself how Much you should be paid for This.... Boss..
Update: a playa is feeling a lot better!
unfortunately my second job is damn near done for... sad to see so many grown people crying and unsure how they would handle things in the near future.
My main job more then likely will be just fine but we did have two folks who caught it. That doesn’t affect me though since I’ve been working from home.
I'd be way more concerned with getting the chest x-ray. Seems like the corona test is just to know whether or not you should quarantine. They going to have to treat you off how your lungs look with that chest x-ray.I get it but, to be real, it's worth it if your life is on the line.
What was your second job?
When i get off quarantine I'll get paid 80 hours weekly for working 40.
Also. Has anyone been losing weight during this? I've gone up one belt hole since shelter in place
