Approx 11 to 13 Contractors In Austin Market - And No its Not the Contract Companies Cutting Pay to Kill the Contractor its TWC Corp or Regional. I've seen and Read the Paperwork. I by no means am Defending the Contract Co. Because You're Right they are killing the guy's with their 40 to 47% Pay out on the Already Hacked Down Prices. The Simple Fact of the Matter is, Its not going to Change for the Better. TWC - ( Things Will Change ) and yes You're Getting Screwed . . .
On Another Note a few Posts Up, Im not going to get into a B*tching Match but Gambithook... You are Crazy. I can count on One Had the number of "Good" In house techs in the Market im In and they have Quite a few Techs. As far as the number of quality Triple Play In house Guys, Hell thats like Big Foot, Everyone says they've seen emm but no one has Pictures.
Then again When you Roll past an Inhouse Job and See 4 Inhouse Techs there to "Get the Job Done" You laugh on your way back by after You've completed your quality Triple Play and they're still Talking about whos going up the ladder to "Tag" that chitty 59 Snubber Drop that they are'nt even going to think about replacing cause they know a Contractor has to replace it when We Roll the Job. So It'll get done in a day or so when a Contractor gos out to swap the High Dollar paperweight HD-DVR which is macro blocking cause of the 59 to which Said Contractor Now gets to bring the entire Job to Code or Risk getting charged back even though only being there for the Swap. 2 Hrs Later the In house Job has been ReDone. The Tech has Made 5 Phone Calls to get Bullshit Contract supervisor Approval to Replace Drop, Lines and Eliminate Cascading Splitters, Has been Questioned on the fact that he is calling for these Requests to replace these lines when "An" inhouse guy was there not 3 days ago and it "must be Right".
He finally got all the Approval Paperwork gets turned in and then the "Billing Specialist" Questions his Codes knocks off what she doesnt thing Qualifies Hits him for a $100 False billing Charge and that Contractor gets screwed once again.
Thanks In House Guy, You just Screwed another Contractor.
GAWD IM GLAD IM OUT OF THAT GAME.
