Since some of you continue to bash the management side so hard on this board, I thought I’d spin it the other way and gripe about the union a little bit.
- Why do we pay union techs the absurd wage we do for them to be so ignorant using computers. I mean, is it too much to ask that they know how to capture and post a screenshot or turn a network adapter on/off? Or perhaps maybe have some basic typing skills? I mean, they can’t actually perform their jobs at all without using PC’s in Mobility, DEG, CO, Business, LNS…..
- Is it asking too much that they treat company property (vehicles, tools, test sets, PC’s, phones, plugins, etc) with at least some respect?
- Is it asking too much that they keep their vehicle and/or office space at least somewhat tidy? I mean some of these work spaces look downright disgusting. Like a bunch of pigs living in a trailer. I know they are technicians and all, but some basic housekeeping at a professional level would be great.
- I keep reading posts about how managers need to know all about what techs do. Maybe we should have techs learn about everything involved with management/leadership and call it even……Just a thought.
- Those “technicians” that are actually really great at there jobs are few and far between. The rest are absolute trash, but get paid the same and have the same benefits. Kinda the same thing you find in lower/line level management. Those techs posting nasty comments about management on this board should be cognizant of that.
