Are they gonna require the customers to be certified,since they are making them the installers now?
Contracts, contractors , contractors
and they want to qualify in-house techs.Put your resumes in life is too short.
The soup kitchen is where they plan on sending all remaining techs. Not to work, but to eat.
@10n+1jmg8x0rz, the senior VP and regional VP also came from a soup kitchen. So, yes they are all friends.
You want to hear something funny? The new director at the Raritan New Jersey shop in Piscataway, use to work in soup kitchen. The higher ups are trying to get rid of any traces of Cablevision. They are hiring people with no experience and some how making more than us. They are all friends or some s--t
The same people asking should be certified also
Adding to @ja+1jmg8x0rz. Are contractors gonna be held to the same standards?
To the positive comment posters (most likely management) or maybe one of those brown noses. If the company wanted qualified "industry standards" why did they stop supporting Scte when they came in? Cablevision paid my membership every year. They just looking to take people out. It's a clear as day.
They are announcing some non sense , progression etc SCTE .. we will see !!! Probably gonna make US pay 💰 and tell you about reimbursement!!!!!!!
Progression? What progression? There is no progression with this company OSP and construction is 90% contractors. Maybe even more than that
Fake news .. they said they gonna have the courses available if you want to progress … nothing in stone yet
Just another way for Altice to fu-k with in-house so, they can move towards only contractors.
When you have contractors or business partners doing the same job as osp for half the price and they don’t even speak English , is not hard to figured out that the real reason for these is to make it difficult for in-house osp and to make them retired . Hang in there and f these new reject Verizon managers . You su7k and everyone knows you are toxic and are looking for a scape goat . Losers
I mean if you can’t manage to study and take an industry standard test for a job that you’re already doing, what are you doing in that role? Just because someone taught you how to test a fuse, balance an amp and chase ingress, doesn’t mean you shouldn’t know anything else.
you can study on your dunkin break
One opportunity for retake. Announcement came in a staff meeting and apparently affecting all OSP technicians in the company.
Where did this happen?
when the heck did SCTE become a requirement for OSP??
what shop did this occur?
no opportunity to re-take exam?
was everyone else in department held to this same standard?
this sound fishy as fu@k
