Where have all the line technicians gone?
Why don't Americans want to climb up the utility pole? Are they afraid of getting electrocuted or is it just not worth the bother?
Andrew Leonard [2007-11-08]

  • If the utilities are like my company

    The execs bathe themselves in pools of cash. Then they call up HR to pull more bogus stats out of their asses to demonstrate why the midpoint of your salary range has gone up for the 5th year in a row thereby disqualifying you for an increase. And oh - the 1 year performance of the stock is +18% (including this month's 18% decrease) but the 5 year performance is -25%. And did I mention 30,000 jobs went to India? And the benefits costs will rise 20% next year.

    I feel so fucking empowered I'm going to get a deer gun and a laser scope. Is it any wonder they put bollards around the front door?
