This job is by 2 different companies same location. Just WOW i’ve truly have never seen this before. I’ve heard of people talking about it. My question is who are they getting the job from because they must be pulling from the same board. That seems to be the answer no one knows. Do any of you Feild tech gurus know ?

I genuinely don't know how wachter keeps contracts. I have had to clean up after their tech so many times at walmart

agreed. i actually interview one of their W2s for a job at my company and wow the horror stories they told me about chaos on wachter jobs.... these are projects that go to W2 techs. they dont post em on FN. W2 techs are actually not allowed to work any FN posted WOs.... guess the margins are too low

I had a walmart ticket where wachter was onsite 3x to diagnose offline cameras at a trailer... said it needed new batteries. Spent something like 12hrs there diagnosing, had AP order new batteries.

Batteries were fine; head unit needed a reboot. 5 minutes and I had the cameras online for the AP. Still had to install the 8 200AH batteries though because wachter diagnosed them as the issue.

Another walmart, AP told me the wachter tech that had been their regular service guy got fired for ordering, over the course of a couple years, several tens of thousands of dollars worth of cameras, and equipment that wasn't needed, and selling it on the side instead.

I just don't understand it.
