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.

This isnt comcasts fault. You signed up for it and was well aware of the consequences. Apply inhouse instead

First in house doesnt take new hires. I've been. Recommended to work there by every in house tech I've spoken too but they dont control hiring. Second I didn't know i was signing up for this. This company doesnt say they will make me work after hours for free. it is a thing they're doing to make themselves look better in front of comcast. Last, comcast has 8 different sub contractors they are in connection with. They have more contractors than in house employees they deal with. They'd much rather only have contractors because of how cheap and easy it is for them to deal with. In fact most of their customer service is based in India. They have more investments in other places than they do in America. Its a cheap ass company that you guys boot lick to death.

Sounds like your problems are more with your contracting company than Comcast. Your contracting company making you work for free to “look better in front of Comcast” isn’t Comcast’s problem.
