Very interesting reply Mr.Alures.Is your handle a reference to the old Zappa title? The only comment I have time for right now is this... The MSO's taking advantage of market conditions by cutting prices to contractors is not right. When advance services are made available customers are charged for the new services, and in many cases overall rates rise. The cost of doing business is steadily escalating while prices for doing work are steadily going down.I believe this is the underlying issue causing the problems which seem to be present on all projects across the country such as poor workmanship,fly by night subs and poorly managed Primes.The poor S.O.B's who post these tirades are really just victims of circumstances that are out of their control. Unfortunatley, Burger King is one of the few options available.
By the way, what do you do? Have a peach of a day.

SOLUTION - REDUCE YOUR COMPETITION! LOOK AT SOME OF TODAY'S BIG BOY VENDORS. THEY'VE GOBBLED UP MANY MEDIUM AND SMALLER COMPANIES TO CONSOLIDATE FOR BUSINESS REASONS.]
