typically speaking, verizon phone guys are NOT permitted to work in the electric zone, which is where he was.
ReplyDeleteWhere's the electric conductor? Looks to be a communication pole with no electric on it.
DeleteYou are correct 5:06
Deletetypically speaking if everyone didn't feel the need to broadcast every moment of the day no one would have know and he would have a job and the cat would be alive.
ReplyDeleteAmen.
DeleteDitto!
DeleteNo wonder Verizon has such a time finding good personnel. They fire the ones with an ounce of humanity,
ReplyDeleteThe power company said that they'd be there in a couple of days.
ReplyDeletepause the video from the start.
ReplyDeletethe electric wire(s) are the ones above the street light. street light is powered by 120V lights typically. you can see the black covered conductor going down to the light. most of your 120/240 volt wires are covered wire now, those have not been bare copper wire since the 70s.
the communications wires are under the light as they are in nearly all cases (except for these new cell towers on poles like in OC - and soon to be Salisbury)
I have one question for all you tear jerking liberals, have you ever seen s dead cat in a tree,pole, or high height? Let them get tired, they’ll come down.
ReplyDeleteJust one more reason to not use facebook
ReplyDeleteI have seen cat skeletons in trees and on utility poles all over town, so glad the guy got this poor kitty down.
ReplyDeleteCat skeletons in trees are as rare as smart democrats!
For what the union demands that they pay those guys, Verizon can demand the employees follow their rules. When you break the rules, no grievance procedure is going to save you from punishment. Lesson to all you union workers out there.
ReplyDeleteI'm starting to think you might have tried to be a Union member way back but couldn't do the job, got sour, and now all you do bash Union workers sbj
DeleteHas nothing to do with being a union worker idiot
DeleteThere was a dog napping case a few years back and the owners number was on the collar. They called the owner and were audibly torturing the dog on the phone and demanding a ransom. Verizon refused to cooperate with law enforcement and help track the number. The final call came and they told the owner their little dog was PIT BAIT and he could hear the animal being torn to shreds. Real nice Verizon.
ReplyDeleteThey are stupid both of these events could have been turned into great free PR.
Verizon only knows how to over charge and never be available. If they used their heads they would realize this could have been good PR for them. There are more animal lovers out there than Verizon Executive good wishes. Stupid suspension.

ReplyDeleteIt has EVERYTHING to do with being a union worker. He broke the union book work rules.
There is no union work rules 4:12, only company rules

ReplyDeleteMy, isn't your comment, based on you knowing nothing about me, cute? Let me tell you something about me so you can be a little more educated with your comments. I have been a union driver for the teamsters which was the most money I ever made for the least work. Nope, didn't get fired, I had better more productive things to do with my life. Now I am a upper level manager (that you hate) that has a union labor force. I fire union workers that break the rules. The work rules say I can, as long as I am the one that follows the rules. You sound like some of my employees that think management can't fire them. It can be done, and I make it my cause to make sure that point gets across to the union about once a year. Too bad unions think their relationship with management has to be an adversarial one. Remember Dresser is Salisbury? Or Crown Cork & Seal? Yep, the unions "demanded" themselves right out of the highest paid jobs in Salisbury. I took a management job over the union job and never looked back. My job is not "classified" and spelled out what I have to do, and what I don't have to do, like yours. I'm brighter than that. I can make decisions for the company, something no union member is allowed to do. I got it. You hate me, because you figured out I am not a union person....duh.
And I bet you think you're not over paid either
DeleteI don't hate upper management 4:24, as long as they are fair, know their job and are an asset to the company. I am knowledgeable enough to know that if a company is not profitable that is one more place not paying wages. What I do hate is someone in upper management that doesn't know their job and has an agenda of firing an employee every year just to show authority. That must really swell your ego.
DeleteI wonder where all the union workers from Sears, K-mart, Penny's, etc, etc have gone, since they demanded themselves out of jobs too
DeleteMarch 28, 2019 at 2:08 PM;
ReplyDeleteYou do know that they couldn't suspend him if he didn't break the work rules don't you? Or are you the idiot? The union would never allow his suspension if he didn't break the rules. Oh wait a minute, you probably don't even know Verizon workers are unionized. In that case, you are excused for being an idiot.
March 27, 2019 at 4:46 PM;
ReplyDeleteVerizon hires the best, and most employees would never do anything that would jeopardize their pension. Certainly they do not intentionally break the work rules and risk losing the high paying job, or their pensions and medical benefits. Most retire without a blemish on their record. You don't think much of Verizon workers, do you? Verizon doesn't actively seek to fire it's highly trained and highly paid employees, but they don't tolerate open violations of the work rules that have been negotiated with the union that represents them.
March 28, 2019 at 9:11 AM:
ReplyDeleteWow, you sure got them to take the bait. Joe should thank you for all the knee jerk comments.
March 28, 2019 at 2:17 PM;
ReplyDeleteWork rules are for a reason, usually safety, and not PR. How about if the Verizon worker got electrocuted trying to save a kitty? How would you respond to that story? My guess is you would blame Verizon for that too. Yours is a stupid comment. The worker violated company work safety rules and was appropriately suspended. If Verizon didn't suspend or punish an employee that violates a work safety rule and another employee gets killed violating the same work rule, Verizon could be charged by OSHA for not enforcing the work rules, and be blamed whole, or in part, for the employee's death. You know little about the management of a company, and its legal responsibilities. Too bad you don't know the difference between an education, and a opinion.
2:11 I have no problem for someone being reprimanded or even fired if the worker makes an infraction that deserves it. The problem I have is with mr 9:11 leading readers to believe that only Union workers break company safety rules, when he states "lesson to all you union workers out there". Also, I wonder what kind of job he would have if there were no workers under him to "manage", you know the ones that are an asset actually making the company money, not a drain of profits or liability from over management. And yes I do know that Verizon is a Union company and that all tv cable companies in this area are all non-union "rat companies".
ReplyDeleteThere is no union work rules 4:12, only company rules
ReplyDeleteMarch 28, 2019 at 10:52 PM:
Semantics! That rule book is signed off and agreed to by the union, in return for the wages and benefits that the company offers. It is a contract. Break the rules, and there is a rule what the company can do to the union member. Its in the book too, and agreed to by the union members. Don't like the rules? Take it up with your union steward, and bring it up at the next contract renewal.

ReplyDeleteYeah, yeah, I'm sure all you are concerned about is "fairness." (SAR) And no union member is a "fair" judge of a good manager. You obviously cannot judge if a manager "knows his job" because you don't even KNOW what a manager's job is, or what it involves. I am not a supervisor, I am a manager. I manage the supervisors that supervise and hand out work assignments to the union personnel. I could tell you more, but it is not my "job" to teach you. People like you swell my ego and make my day, every day. You don't have a clue what it takes to manage a company. It's why you'll always remain in the trenches. There is no opportunity for advancement in a union, only more money for the same old job until you retire with your company provided pension. Nothing is a bigger self-esteem killer than that.
More money and a pension is what most people want idiot. That's what pays the bills. Never heard of someone paying a bill with a job title or swelled head.
DeleteKeep Cheering
This all started because simple-minded union sympathizers think Verizon was wrong to punish a Union worker for violating a very serious work rule to save a "kitty." There should be no defense for what he did (and there isn't, or he wouldn't be suspended). Thanks for the post Joe. It really brings out the lower class worker mentality that is so prevalent here on the shore. And I pull no punches with that comment. It is based on empirical evidence as witnessed everyday, from the workplace to Walmart.
ReplyDeleteHey wolf dog, you do know that the comment "lesson to all you union workers out there", was bait to get the cockroaches to come out of the woodwork, don't you? And you took the bait, hook line and sinker. That line was for no other purpose than to solicit responses from dyed in the wool union members, trying to defend the indefensible union worker's work rule violation. God, this is just too easy sometimes.
ReplyDeleteYes I do understand the bait scheme 1:43, and I used it for sbj. Now you're taking it too.
DeleteNarrow minded people are so easy. LOL
March 29, 2019 at 5:25 PM:
ReplyDeletePathetic. You are the cockroach that was being baited. Hurts, huh, when it was pointed out to you. Nobody is more narrow-minded than a union worker. Lock step socialists, every one. They will hound one of their own out of the union over doing something that is beneficial to the company. Talk about narrow minded! I'm thinking "wolf dog" might be an ex-Dresser employee. You have the mentality of one. Voted yourselves right out of a job.
Wow, 5:25, cockroach?? That really hurts. I must have tighten your face a little. How long have you been fuming ? And no, I'm not an ex Dresser employee. Wrong again. Do some more research. ROFLMAO
