hi all long time since i posted anything,for those of you that have had enough of the FTel promises ,MAP are back on the scene installing TiVO boxes for Virgin, i hear they are on the look out for people dont know rates or hours,

JayJay · 22-11-2011, 13:37

All seems to be a bit of a mess with these contractors flying around doesnt it!

install_tech · 22-11-2011, 14:11

ftel promises alot but never delivered nothing, a don't think they know what it involved and how hard it would be as they have never done install side of virgin

JayJay · 22-11-2011, 14:23

McNic and all the sites I have been to is, at the moment, awful. Moral is drastically low, staff going sick with stress, quality of work down so low. The amount of tivo work is crazy and alot of guys dont bother with talk through's because they dont have the time. Dare I say it, im not enjoying my job anymore.

install_tech · 22-11-2011, 14:52

jayjay are u from England or Scotland? mcnic only have London contract as far as I no and av never heard nothing about map, we are doing 5 to 6 tivos a day and the work load we get is far to much its always late nights start at 8 and don't get home till about 8 or 9. I am doing 2mans myself and that includes pulling in the drops but managers don't care because they are in there house looking at all the jobs from there

JayJay · 22-11-2011, 15:16

England mate. McNic's have the whole South of England. Wales across to london and down!

Tivo's id say its around 6/7 a day, mainly migrate relocates or tivo quads, so time consuming.

Doing 2 mans on your own? Seriously? Not a chance on my watch mate! How are they getting away with you doing that? I agree with the manager situation, it happens down this end of the country to.

install_tech · 22-11-2011, 16:16

yup I get paid the two man rate but do it myself and of the digs are big I might get a help but it's hard grafting, I was working in London for 5 weeks birmingham for 3 weeks and got agued when they kept asking me to work away all the time. jayjay how come u never moved to Kelly's when they went to bt?

JayJay · 22-11-2011, 16:37

I never worked for Kellys, I worked for Avonline before. If I did, I would of gone right to BT.

At least you get paid 2 man rate but you must work like a train!

martin292 · 22-11-2011, 19:33

install tech tried that number again today twice just rang out, have you spoke to penny yet or know of any start dates?
