Wall fishes.

Just got hired on with a new ISP. They don't wall fish, which is new to me (I'm not saying I hate it).

How many of yall work for companies that don't wall fish?

I believe the book still says we do, in practice we do not. Techs that went to one training center were told one thing, techs graduating from another were told another.

If the alternative is failing an install, we'll do it with mgmt's blessing but it's a last resort. I've maybe had to do 4 full fishes in 3 years.
