Fiber in Brooklyn?
There is no documented evidence that fiber is being deployed in Brooklyn according to the almighty dsl reports- does this mean we are selling the system?
An interesting turn of events:
The techs that just recently went union out of the Bethpage depot apparently DID NOT include the Construction Dept. Well, last week the Construction Dept filed to have an union election. Date to be announced. Perhaps they didn't wanna feel left out??... — read more
Why'd they remove the 'call center' thread?
It's a shame that employees try to communicate with each other and express their concerns in the workplace and it all gets censored by the powers that be. 😡😡😡😡😡

litchfield system
So outdated, literally built of string and rocks
Fake News. Brooklyn did not ask to decertify, and in fact just got a 4 year Deal
Always remember that Altice Management uses this website to disseminate false information that sounds true on the surface. They do this to create fear and confusion amongst the workers, so that they can keep you in line. If you want the truth go to... — read more
