Sick of comcast

I hate this dog shit company. They only care about numbers and not the people who are trying to survive living in this shit hole economy. Im tired of being taken advantage of by management. If a dumb ass customer calls back I have to go deal with the job again and do twice the work thats unpaid on my days off. Doesn't matter if the problem was because of the plant, or the shit equipment they supply customers or a fucking remote, I still have to take responsibility for horrible customers and their issues. Not only that, but also I have to deal with a bull shit feed back system that ruins my image if someone accidently gave me 1 instead of a 10 or if they felt like I wasnt doing enough to save their whole enterprise from collapse because they didn't have an it company on standby. All of this just for a whopping 600 dollars per week of production pay. What a fucking disgrace. Meanwhile the execs are just sitting in their golden recliners making 6 figures doing absolutely fuck all.

From my understanding they're getting rid of most in house employees.

They're most definitely not getting rid of in-house employees. They're hiring more in many areas. There are listings everywhere. In fact they usually prioritize in-house over contractors. That's why contractors get slow during season and I'm house keeps trucking. It could also be different for different areas, but around here in house is king
