PhilosipherStoned Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 (edited) There's a 6 month contract in my area for it that pays 13/hr and I'm wanting to apply, but I honestly don't know that's done.Someone's explained it too me before, and I didn't think it was that complicated, but I'd like to know more since I feel likethis company is just screwing me over. The extension ladder I was given catches every time causing it to only extend further when I try to retract it, and it was ancient when I got it. This causes safety concerns I'm not sure you can get from that, but I feel like I'm doing the right thing not using that piece of shit. I should be working, but I already told my supervisor and I was told the same thing I was when I was hired pretty much. That they don't know how to get a ladder to me to even though I was told multiple times I would be provided with one. I still wouldn't have one if the guy that trained didn't quit afterwards, and basically give me the faulty one I've been using.

PhilosipherStoned Posted December 14, 2017 Author Share Posted December 14, 2017 Sorry for a tl; dr but my list of grievances is honeslty ten times bigger than that. I feel bad I'm not trying to get any work done because there's things I could be doing today still, but I'm not making enough to mess with this. This company is an LLC that is contracted to work along side my local cable company, and they do not communicate at all.. Should the fact that this is an LLC be a dead give away these guys suck? I'm feeling a bit over my head, but I'm not even trying to rant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilosipherStoned Posted December 14, 2017 Author Share Posted December 14, 2017 (edited) Oh well I have no set schedule with it and I guess they may not fire me since they suck so bad, and everyone locally can probably see that just based on watching me work. This is what I had to do honestly to get that ladder off of the cable tap since the catch didn't DISengage... I had to drive my truck under the ladder, and get on top of the cab to manually stop the catches / brakes from getting stuck on every rung on the bottom half of the ladder as it went down.

My area just has yet to get with that program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only company that actually reads in my neighborhood is consumers energy I mean DTE energy used to do it but then they went digital same with my water meter until the antenna box was giving false readings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhilosipherStoned Posted December 15, 2017 Author Share Posted December 15, 2017 (edited) I can't even think about this dumb crap any more. Just a bogus job that I need to get rid of.. I'm probably going to take a hiatus from here until I get this shit straight. I honestly didn't sleep last night because of the discord, but I spent most of the morning before I started thinking about how ridiculous this company really is. It's possible to make good money, but it's definitley not dependant on you at least no where near as much as they want you to believe. not that every help wanted ad doesn't try to make a job sound more glamourous then it really is.

Ginguy Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 You should get out of a job that gives you faulty equipment (major OHSA violation btw) as a general rule. I'd get that meter job if you can, hell you might be able to find something else from that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
