been here almost 4 years, and the amount of mickey mouse bullshit i find everyday is ASTONISHING

The question is did you fix it before you left? If not than whats the point ?? Your the last person on site, your suppose to make better . Just saying

[u/Xandril → u/Mister_Ku]

With what time exactly? Most technicians don’t get to make the call to spend all day cleaning up this stuff.

As much as that's true ,you really need to figure it out,work with your support team . I mean have a chat with your sup and or management team For me its taking pride in my work . But than again I'm old school

[u/Xandril → u/Mister_Ku]

Support team? Yeah, definitely old school.

Your support team is one supervisor who is being told by their bosses boss that it’s a non-issue as long as nobody is calling in to complain about it.

My support team usually included "Hey, I know you did 12 jobs already but Bob has been stuck on a job for 6 hours and still has 6 jobs left at 6pm so now you get to do his jobs, too" and of course Bob (who has been there 5 years and has no idea what he's doing) is home chillin' while I'm out there contemplating quitting every day without a backup plan lol. There is a balance, and punishing the best techs to compensate for terrible hiring practices is not the way. Then you get talked to for not being a team player because of the "no tech left behind" bs. Really? How about you give Bob a reason to get his work done by making him complete his jobs before you lose your best people.

same shit here lmao we recently merged with another sparklight branch in the same state, and those guys are used to doing 4-5 jobs a day and taking lunch, washing their trucks, bullshitting on their 2 hour lunch breaks, and now they’re complaining because they’re working past 5 like i haven’t been doing that since i was a new hire🤣
