Can a technician that was involved in a union vote and lost under "USA" and is now "ATS" try to organize another election and not have to wait a full year since they are now technically another company?
Last week for the ServiceDesk at Bethpage
Please make sure that if you speak to the ServiceDesk full timers this week, to say good bye. Friday is their last day in NY. We will miss everyone leaving.
Hiring
The company is hiring people that are not qualified for the jobs on purpose to lay them off. I know one of my friends who has no experience in the field, he was hired at a senior level position without any real checks.

If/When Altice goes Bankrupt. Do you think severance will continue to be paid?
I think NOT. There is your reason they did not pay lump sum and instead chose to stretch out payments over 1-2 years. Its possible they will be out of money long before that. Good luck out there. Don't forget... Keep buying Newsday and watching the... — read more

The layoffs
Is this sham of a company giving retirement packages to people with a lot of time with the company? How about the people who've only been there for a few years? Is there a severance package? Unemployment doesn't pay people enough to live.
Bye Bye RCC
It was announced today that RCC/Dispatch Dept. is being laid off. Last day June 29th.
The name game.
So it would seem in an effort to mask turning cablevision in-house techs into contractors the new name is "associate".
Altice out right lieing to their customers.....
In the last month I have witnessed this company lie through their teeth to reschedule work due to no man power. Twice, I have had a scenario where a job has been pulled from my route and then given back to me later in the week. The customer states... — read more

How is ATS treating you techs
Just curious of how the scam artist is treating there employees through the footprint. Spoke to 2 different shops and they are not pleased at ALL.
Fudge
Fudging fiber footage to get Altice USA to pay ATS bills. Crews are hanging fiber and not lashing per company orders. If a contractor were to do this they would A) not be paid B) never hired again.

NY area is in no shortage of IT jobs!
Why should a person who is being mistreated by their employer always has to be the one to fold/leave? The reason that unions were enforced for so long was because of that mentality. I understand that the employer is only responsible for paying you... — read more

Censorship
Apparently the thread " special announcement" was deleted. It had a lot of post from employees. Makes you think if this site is really anonymous? Altice has a new brand that will reunite the company worldwide? How does this benefit the employees? We... — read more
