I was an on call fiber tech for the southcoast of ma. I got called to a cell tower outage at 1130pm one night. I arrived in a half hour, tested the fiber and it was fine so I went above and beyond. Went to hub and tested the jumper and laser that fed the tower and the laser was putting out low levels. Told the co ordinators by 1230 that they had a bad laser. They made us sit around till 430am as they changed everything but the laser. Then told us to go change the cwdm filters in the field sidecar. I stated that the filters were tested and working fine, but they insisted. So I changed them and of course that didn't fix the problem. They finally ok ed the headend tech to change the laser and Surprise... tower back online. We were then sent home at 530am. The next day they told my boss that I had refused to replace the cwdm filters and questioned everything they told me to do. Lies... I never refused anything. I did tell them several times that it was the laser that was bad though. I then got fired and blackballed by Comcasts and from working on Comcast plant. Well Fuck You. Sorry I have a fucking brain and know how to troubleshoot. You wasted 5 fucking hours on an outage and changed thousands of dollars worth of equipment out instead of listening to the on call tech w 15 years experience. Even their headend tech was in agreement with me. These two faced fuckers cannot be trusted. Throw me under the bus as their scapegoat because of their own incompetence. Fuck you I blackball you. I will never work for them again even if they begged and paid me a fotune. Never trust these liars.
