I think is great how rumors come out and grow on the bar.
Everytime someone doesn't get paid, than the company they are working for are crooks whether the company is a contractor or MSO and if they were a sub of sub then it still might be the MSO has no money, I contracted for 20+ years and 99 times out of 100 that someone did not get paid it was do to work that was not worth paying for or paperwork that was not correct or turned in on time. I project managed 100's of projects as a prime contractor for almost ever Cable and phone and phone company out there as well as 20-30 that no longer exist and I can say in 20 years I never had a problem getting paid what was owed to me as long as I did the work and correctly and had the paperwork to back it up, and my subs were paid every week as long as they did the work correctly and turned in the paperwork to back it up on time. I notice most of the Old Dawgs never seem to say much about not getting paid, it seems it is always the newer younger guys who have the problem. I have subs like that now that work for me they think just because they show up every day they should get paid no mater how much it cost in time and man power to clean up the messes the leave behind....
Bottom line if you do the job you are being paid and turn in the correct completed paperwork you to will find 99 times out of 100 you will be paid what is owed you and on time. Just some woods of wisdom from someone who has been out there 20+ years. Do what you want with it.
