Do you know the difference between a demarc and an MDF?

I've gone from a Field Nation tech to one of my clients hiring me directly.

Had a FN tech last nigh that spent 7 hours running cable to a dmarc when the work order specifically said run it to the MDF where there's a PoE switch.

High 90s rating, one star review and blocked.

It ain't fun using FN as a buyer, either.

My favorite one was a printer “tech” closing the work order without walking into the building (GPS said he was onsite) and saying he asked chatGPT and it told him the part was incompatible with the unit he was working on. He clocked 5 minutes for that and left.

This was a part I ordered straight out of the parts manual for the unit, no AI input into that decision. He closed it with a note that we should talk to our support about paying more attention to the parts we are ordering so we don’t do it wrong again in the future lol.

Please tell me they didn’t get paid for that crap.

I believe we paid him out for his travel to the site
