And as for who he has talked to about what they're making, he has spoken directly to some of the guys he worked with, and they are not happy with where they are or what they are making. Maybe "your" particular guys are working in a different state. And lucky you if you get paid every Friday. Perhaps each branch of Orius works differently.

Real Contractors have enough money to carry the "hired help". Anybody can get a contract and not pay for 45 DAYS. SO MAN PLEASE give us a break on the B.S.

> > > I don't know who all you guys are talking to but I know my in-house guys are making damn good money with Orius on footage. When you buy as many companies as Orius did, it takes time to get everything rolling the way it should. I have been with them since they bought Channel Communications and my check has always been in my hand on Fridays. Furthermore, I know my subs on this job do not have any complaints about the 45 days out on checks.
