Recent article regarding our industry and the current pandemic. The section pertaining to the teleconferenced call with management being more concerned with numbers than the affects of the virus hits hard. Think about that as some of you continue to fuel the fires of the ongoing battle being waged on here between field service and FTTH. Instead of attacking one another maybe one day you’ll realize you can do more if we unite forces. This isn’t about department vs department, this is about Us (the ones on the front lines keeping the system running) VS Them (The management team sitting safe and comfortably at home in their McMansions sending us directly into harms way)
We hold all the cards here, not them but as long as we continue to fight amongst each other they remain in control. Think about it.
