CABL Forum - ATTENTION TO ALL COMPANIES(REGARDING TO chief491)ROB LAMB

I WASN'T GOING TO WASTE MY TIME ON RESPONDING TO THIS JOKER FROM MISSOURI BECAUSE I HAD 2 OTHER COMPANIES DO SO FOR ME(thanks david harkins(tacklebox)and you to kevin morgan(morgan electric),but i like to stand up for myself and speak what i believe and what's on my mind.if someone has something to say about me or my company and they are right i will be man enought to agree with them,but if they are wrong i damn sure will tell them so,and anyone else that wants to listen,so for all it worth to you fellow contractors here is the true story about mr rob lamb aka chief491.about 3 yrs ago he and a 3 man crew did an audit for us in wyoming.upon hiring him he told me he had been in the business for about 5 yrs at that time.he was working in reno nevada at that time and he told me he was getting jacked around on his pay,and also was being lied to from his employer.(i'm sure this is a pattern with this loser)i hired him on to help me out along with trying to help him out because he said he was broke and that he had a wife and kids and i took him for his word without checking his references(what a dumb-ass on my part)but sometimes we all have to take a gamble sometimes.i paid for his and 2 other motel rooms for atleast the first 30 days,and after that he was on his own,and if my memory serves me right i even advanced all of them money(anyone that has ever worked for us knows that i will go out of my way at all cost to help a man out in the field who is or has been struggling when he works for me or even if i just hired him and don't really know him(this is part of the gamble in this business and believe me i have lost money and been burnt several times,but that is part of the risk)rob was to supervise this job along with doing production himself.i was to compensate him with a bonus after completion of the job,no exact dollar amount was talked about,we just agreed to work it out after completion of the job,he thought that was fair due to the fact that i went out of my way to help him up front financially.his supervisor skills were terrible but i tried to coach him thru it because it was just a short term job.there was double billing among him and his men,and his paperwork and invoicing was always screwed up.when the job was completed he and his 3 other men went back home to missouri for about a week or two.i talked to rob one time while he was back home and iwas informed he was going in-house(best thing for him)i told him we would mail his last check to him along with a little bonus for overseeing the project,but there was no money discussed about his bonus,i wanted to make sure there were no quaility issues or billing problems before he got his last check along with a bonus,we are a net 14days on our invoiceso his last check wasn't even due yet.i was informed by blackstone cable out of soda springs idahoe that there were some problems.double billing,unledgeable paperwork,which is no good when it comes to an audit,how can the system input info into the database if they cannot read it.also they got drunk and tore up a motel room i was paying for.thhhhhey were also doing numerous disconnects in error,the area engineer called me up toward the end of the project and ask me where did these jokers come from?didn't they know how to read a greenbar.also to mention i paid them them thier first check 2 weeks early because they were broke(another dumb-ass mistake on my part)ssso when it was all said and donethe cable operator didn't want to use us again(can you blame them?i couldn't!the 3 other gus that rob had with him came to oklahoma and worked for us for about 6 months with the understanding they were going to be q.c.'ed 100%,along with being retrained.i informed them they had some back charges from there invoices that was screwed up,they seem to have no problem with any of the above(because they knew they were wrong)they followed all the rules from that point on,we spent a lot of time with them because they had great attitudes and wanted to be part of a good team.they actually turned out to be really good.there names were tim rummerfield,jeremy brown,and jeremy bond.in regards to mr cable god (rob lamd dumbass)i held his check waiting to talk to him about his back charges his last check was for $180.00 without any sort of bonus,but he never called me to discuss the issue.i did tell him at first i would mail his check to his house,but that was before the system got back with me.i beleive if i did not receive any monies that i thought i had coming to me i would be on the phone calling somebody,and even hiring an attorney if i felt i really had money owed to me.rob lamb contacted me about 3 to 4 weeks ago about some storm damage work here in oklahoma,and this is when he brought this up.i asked him why he waited three yrs to ask for money he thought he had coming to him(kind of stupid isn't it)i told him why he didn't get his last check,his response was do not worry about it(another goofy answer)i told him if he thought i owed him some money lets try to work a figure out(even after 3 yrs and a screwed up job of supervion of a project iwas willing to listen to him.(he told me again not to worry about it(go figure that one out)so after the 2nd or 3rd time of being told not to worry about it ,i stopped worrying about it.he proceeded on and said he was in desperate need of work and he had 3 other trucks,i told him iwould put him back to work in weatherford okla. doing storm damage and i would pay for all 4 motel rooms at $800.00 per week for 4 rooms.now here is the end of the story,he and the crew worked a week that i know of and never turned in any paperwork or invoices for payroll(maybe he had gotten worse after 3 yrs,hell who knows and who cares!i lost $800.00 on the lodgeing.he then called up the office and said if he did turn in the paperwork for payroll that he wanted paid right then and if i wouldn't do it he would turn in his work to another prime in the same area doing the storm damage in which he made a statement saying the other prime was paying more.i told him to stick his work up his and the other prime contractors ass that i would take my loss and go on down the road,that is when he started making threats about kicking my ass and also slamming me on the cable bar,and also contacting an attorney(what a big fucking stupid idot!)anyone that knows me,knows i do not like being threatened if you cannot back up what you say!especially from an idiot that doesn't have a clue or has empty space between the ears,so if any other fellow contractor is in need of non-quaility individual,who is a dead beat liar,and likes to have you do him favors and help him out when he is in trouble(i'm sure he lives in trouble)and then threatens you but cannot substantiate anything that comes out of his big mouth,from a big tough guy,you can call me for a reference onCHIEF491(ROB LAMB)AAAAAT 1-800-515-1872.ROB I WOULD LIKE TO LET YOU KNOW ONE LAST THING BEFORE I'M DONE IF YOU RESPOND WITH SOME MORE BULLSHIT I WILL TAKE THE APROPRIATE ACTION AGAINST YOU!I DO NOT CARE HOW MUCH MONEY I HAVE TO SPEND TO TAKE YOU DOWN.YOU ARE A DISGRACE TO THE CABLE INDUSTRY!
