Plant/construction work has been being contracted for several years.There are entire areas,albeit rural,that do not even have any in house ops.Bone up on fiber,hang w osp and learn as much as you can.Eventually that will be all that is valued in the field.

Sometimes you gotta leave them loose so service fixes the wiring at an install they just did.

Once you work in osp you see the amount of stupidity that comes from the field. I’ve seen techs who I thought were thorough and intelligent consistently making the same mistakes. It’s a shame the company doesn’t allow service techs see how the plant works so they became even better at what they do. Field service is so over worked I can’t blame the techs but at the same time when I get calls for water in the tap and your drop has the water in it I can’t let it go. 95% of the time if not more the water is coming from a customer drop.
