Thread regarding Altice USA (Cablevision) layoffs

Altice makes employees come in during Blizzard

Makes allot of sense, Blizzard conditions and the make you burn a day. Ok let’s all “ work together
“ and risk employees lives and have them come to work during a blizzard. “ if you don’t feel safe you can use a PTO day”. How about using some common sense and shutting down. Ducking mo–ns!

Stop complaining blizzard storm you are not going to work on something that you deem unsafe it’s your choice you want to prove something and be a hero you’re choice do not ever let anyone pressure you if your afraid and do it, again it’s your choice just like when you signed over to Ats it was your choice a bad one but it was your choice and to the trolls that are on this site claiming their company is so great why are you on this site you left bye ✋ Felicia that choice was also yours #foh

Hey : @5nws+19c17Ql8

That run on sentence is nonsensical and you can't be taken seriously. 20 million people could die of whatever virus and you're the dope that will still believe it's a hoax. Your family could drop dead right in front of your face, and still you're dumb enough to believe it's a hoax. If this was Ebola and your insides were spilling out of your assshole, I bet you wouldn't be acting so cavalier. We all know that Covid is not s-xy enough for you, but it still k–ls. And hopefully it doesn't take one of your family members or co-workers or even, you.

Take the day off and go play in the snow with your kids. They are going to be around a lot longer than cable. Back to basics. It's just a job this place hasn't been a career in a long time.

For all you id–ts there’s no major utility company that sends their techs out on the field dead in the middle of a major blizzard. They wait until the blizzard is over you id–ts. What is the point of literary risking your life by doing pole work dead in the middle of a major blizzard. No service or installation is that you important that they can’t wait a few hours or a day until at least the storm is over. Is that too much to ask?does that make you lazy? Does that make you a pssy? Some of you are ignorant as fck. How can you not agree that it is not safe to do pole work dead in the middle of a major blizzard

If some of you are wondering why we are not unionized is because we have guys that would put up with anything, and to make it worse they shame the ones that speak up just look at these comments how about you man up and stand up for yourself how about you stop being a pssy and speak up or at least shut your dumb as up when real men speak up

Everyone now a days is just such a pu$$y , little bit of snow and they want the whole state to shut down, but if it was them waiting for service then internet is no longer a luxury but a necessity, man up and stop being so weak that’s why big tech is taking over all of you useless couch eating parasites wearing the same mask all weak thinking I’m safe mean while the mask is full of germs that get sick and die on contact from the id–ts that are wearing it ... poor COVID-19!

I’m sure that during the days of slavery there were people telling the slaves that complained about the conditions to stop whining, they literally put your life at risk and you tell someone who speaks up to stop whining, really? They shut it down at 11:30? Really?? People could have died by 11:30

Optimum s—s! To work on a snow day won’t change the c-appie service. They are a monopoly in many areas and they capitalize on this. No Optimum, No internet! In these times internet is no longer a luxury but a necessity. So Optimum’s word to customers like me is Some the internet is better than no internet. THATS WHY YOU S—!!!!!!

  • we are a utility company... that shuts down entirely whenever it’s cost effective. I.E holidays when everyone gets double and triple time think about that.... at least they can say no pole work on days like today and not treat it like a normal day

Allowing this company to convince you not to unionize, it’s like allowing a detective charging you with a crime to convince you that you don’t need a lawyer and that you are better of just dealing with him directly because he has your best interest at heart.

They actually treat days like today like if it’s a sunny day in June. You would think they would at least say no pole work

These people are ruthless and don’t care about our safety. There will always be self hate and people that glorify their abusers, it’s actually a syndrome that some of you should get treatment for.
