Re: CRAZY PAY?


Personally I like the 30 days out.It seems to weed out the cabletrash. If you have been in this business more than 2yrs and dont have enough bank to last 30 days on the road I suggest a career change

> The way I see it, they are going to 30 days out so they can keep 4 weeks of your money when you leave! It was bad enough when they kept 2 weeks everytime a job was finished and your work was QC'd 3 times before you left. I just finished a job in chicago for Ervin cable, three weeks ago, pay was suppose to be two weeks out and it was while I was there, but as soon as the job is over, well, screw you! I don't know if it is Erving Cable or the guy I worked for but I haven't seen a dime yet. Last year at Christmas time my wife was in the hospital fighting for her life, no Christmas for the kids, this year well if pay doesn't come soon I guess it will be a repeat performance. Damn I just love this job!!!Cussin

TELEPHONE # OR IF YOU DO GET THROUGH ON A # OR EMAIL NO ONE TAKES THE TIME OR HAS THE CONSIDERATION TO REPLY.I DONT KNOW HOW YOU FEEL ABOUT THIS, BUT WHEN A MAN OR WOMAN IS SERIOUSLY LOOKING FOR A JOB .... HE OR SHE DOES NOT HAVE TIME OR MONEY TO WASTE ON THIS CRAP.FURTHERMORE ...WHAT THE HELL IS UP WITH 30-45 DAYS OUT ON PAY? ALL CONTRACTORS(SUBS)ARE NOT PIECE-OF-CRAP ASSHOLES WHO LIVE IN THEIR BUCKET TRUCK OR HAVE NO HOME OR FAMILIES TO SUPPORT.IF YOU MIGHT THINK YOU ARE A PRIME, THEN CONSIDER ACTING LIKE ONE .HOLD BACK 2WKS PAY, TAKE 10% RETAINAGE TO PROTECT YOUR INTEREST, AND CONSIDER HAVING SOMEONE GET OFF THEIR ASS AND IN THE FIELD TO QC THE WORK .IF YOUVE GOT A HACK ON THE JOB THEY ARE EASY TO SPOT.BASICALLY, YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR AND HOW YOU PAY FOR IT.THINK ABOUT IT ... FUEL,HOTEL,FOOD,ETC....FOR 30-45 DAYS PLACING COMPLETE TRUST IN YOUR HONESTY AND INTEGRITY AS A PRIME TO PAY US AFTER THIS LONG . ITS CRAZY . IT SHOULD NOT MATTER HOW FAR OUT A PRIME IS PAID BY THE MSO TO BE THE BASIS ON HOW , IF , OR WHEN YOU PAY A SUB. THATS WHY YOU MAKE YOUR MONEY OFF OF SUBS OR A FEW IN HOUSE WORKERS.IF YOU WANT TO BE A PRIME THEN ACT THE PART OR GET OUT OF THE PICTURE AND BE A LOWLY SUB AND MAKE SOMEONE ELSE A PAYCHECK.THIS IS JUST MY OPINION .CABLE HAS TO GET BETTER.
