Re: What gets me..

Mastec will get dinged by the FTC for lying. They will lose the labor relations and whistle-blower case. And more than likely DirecTV will end their contract to install DirecTV equipment. Whoever owns Mastec is going to lose a lot of money over this. It serves them right.

Their financials stink. No wonder they are cutting corners and chiseling.

Mastec is not wrong!!

These Techs are LAZY, COMPLACENT, babies I mean workers. You can't even call them workers. They have no class and should do their jobs, make money, and go home with their families. That's the way my Fathers' generation did it. I'm so sick and tired of people complaining about EVERYTHING that's wrong with their jobs!! If it's so bad then just start your own multi-million dollar company. I'm sure you'll have no problem with that. Haha.

I personally know that Mastec Technicians have the opportunity to make over 60k/year, drive a company vehicle, GAS is paid for!!, Benefits, Discounted Directv etc...I guess it's never enough?

And by the way GEORGE BUSH SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You sir are mistaken. I work for mastec, we do not make 60k a year, we pay to drive those vehicles and benefits you have to be kidding. Those technicians work their butts off. If you call your local phone company and request a quote for phone jack installation the cost is at least $70.00 in most markets.
Mastec would like techs to run as many phone lines as needed for free. We are essentially employed contractors. How would you like to work for free. This is only the tip of the iceberg. Your opinion has no basis in fact.

To Mr.Freeman
I have to tell a couple of things about us techs that got fired from Mastec...
1. Who have no idea what kind of workers we are
2. How do you know if we have class or not? Do you know us?
What kind of worker's do you think we are?
3. Who made you king so that you can put us down without even knowing what kind of people we are..Do you think we made this up? We spoke to everyone we needed to speak to about this and what did we get in return? Charge backs anywhere from $200. to $800. dollors.. SO now how should we let them kill our pay like that?
What you dont have a family?
4.You know nothing about what this company does to their employee's .. I have been with them for nine months and it has been the worst nine months of my life.
Before you talk all that junk you said about us maybe you should watch the news more closely. You think that local6 dont do their homework before it goes on air?
5.I think and truly feel that you are just talking all of this cause you have nothing better to do and also because your one of them...

Mastech has contacted me for employment. I went down and sat thru an interview and they offered me a job after I pass drug and background checks.

I have had my own installation company for the last 10 years and it seems Mastech is now sucking up all the work. They are telling me
$40 to $60 thousand a year. I asked to have a price schedule I would get paid per job and they skirted the question. Seemed fishy to me. I have been in this industry way to long to know contracts don't last forever and there are allot of people getting rich of the installers. I am reluctant to make a move without all the information on pay etc. What can you tell me. Why do they seem so secretive in this area when asked? How and what do they pay?

Thanks for any input
