There are some sales contractors accused of screwing people out of their money too, its all over this forum, you can see on a search. There are also a lot sales people and techs that do unethical things, and end up hurting the company, client, and customer. There are always three sides to the story.
But ethics isn't about an industry, its about the individual, and we are all responsible for how this industry and the people involved are perceived.
Sales makes the world go round. Knocking on doors and selling strangers TV/phone/int is hard work, and as mentioned in CABLaddict's post above, the techs, installers, etc... wouldn't have any work if the salesdoggs weren't out there busting their asses all day long.
I would like to thank everyone here who takes pride in their work and makes it possible for people like me to have a job in this industry.
Thank you and Happy Holidays.
