Correct. No building maintenance unless it's a head shed where the L3 boys are sitting or they bring large customers to shmooze. Our buildings look horrible inside and out. Janitorial services clean once a month. Trash cans overflow onto floors in reporting centers and COs until they show up to clean or the guys get tired of the smell and take it out and use their own trash bags from home. Toilet paper from home and hand soap.
Air conditioning on offices down for months if not years. Rather than replace or fix them, pay a CO guy OT to open doors till things cool off enough to clear the alarms. Shut doors and repeat again. Major hosts without AC. We might have to fix them when summer comes, we will see is the answer. Even the building mechanics are frustrated.
And offices with dead batteries that go down evey time the power is out. No money for batteries either. You get trouble tickets Monday from the weekend and call the customer. Yeah, we came back when the power came on. Our phones go dead every time the power goes out. Been happening for years.
Fiber trailers that you are afraid to tow because the lights don't work and who knows about the brakes cause they haven't been inspected for years. Generators the same thing and lucky if they run or produce electric when you do take them out.
And then there is the no spare cards thing. Customers out of service for who knows how long cause the geniuses took all our spares that we didn't hide from them so we could try to keep the poor remaining customers in service. We won't even talk about piss poor cable or all the temporary hanging or laying around.
Then there is technician morale. It goes on and on. Techs at other companies think you are lying when you tell them how this circus is run. We are doomed. Everyone knows it and upper management thinks we don't realize how done we really are.
