Randolph Depo is a JOKE
I guess the money is starting to run out. We have no white cable to give out and all are routers have no power cords. Sounds like we are contractors to me buying are own cable. What a joke of a shop.
Take a poll
What is most depressing? Reading this site. Reading the Facebook cablevision friends site seeing how many people are really leaving. Just walking in every day knowing it could potentially be your last.

Cablevision employees are targeted for layoffs
I hate what Altice is doing to hard working decent people that have spent 20, 30 plus years there when it was Cablevision. I started out with a wonderful group of people in 1986 when it was still TKR and worked there until 1997. When Cablevision... — read more

Don't be surprised when they announce ATS is moving towards "piece" work
