The little guy

Good luck suing Dish! Keep in mind that DISH Network will spend $100,000 defending a $10,000 lawsuit on principal alone.

The Legal Fees, appeals and Bullsh!t required to file a lawsuit with Dish aint worth it!
that is why i didnt want to do it but my family wants me to do it and they said they will pay
 
Here's my suggestion, that you'll most likely ignore. Instead of spending $100k tilting at windmills (this means that I'm comparing an unlawful termination lawsuit against EchoStar to a Quixotic quest), spend $8-10k on community college. Talk to an advisor. Take English and business classes. Make yourself valuable. If you're in a position where you'll get off the couch for $11.26 an hour, you're simply a commodity.
 
If you enjoyed what you were doing with dish try to find a sub contractor in your area to work for. You will make alot more per hour (I average $30-35) but you will have to provide your own van, materials, tools, etc. I love what I am doing and love my checks every two weeks.

I will second that
You will be better paid with less hours to sacrifice your family.

See, now you are a smart business person. It is obvious that there is money to be made here and you prove that. And you give good advice to the OP.
 
here comes bad news,

you cannot sue dish, when you started to work for dish you signed paper saying that you will use arbitrator...
 
Sorry, but you would have to be a complete idiot to work 22 hours a day for anybody!!!

C'mon now... I worked a job about 10 years ago where I once pulled a 36 hour shift with only stopping to eat... about 70% hard-labor, 25% technical know how type of job. It was a regular thing to put 20-24 hours on my time card for the day and turn in 4000-7000 miles a month on the company vehicle. ;)
 
hmm

Im sure there are plenty of ways around it
i am not going to sue but i told my uncle if he wants to look into it go for it
 
Its sad

It’s sad! I already have a teaching degree; the problem is dish pays better than teachers get paid. I love the advice though.
 
i know a couple

I have to weight six months.

That is subject to where you teach. The school district I live in has an average teacher salary of $85k/yr with the highest salary being $115k. But they only take Masters Degrees.

For those teachers that want a job check out District 211 in Hoffman Estates, IL.

That is somewhat surprising. Have you actually checked? My wife is a teacher and gets paid a pretty darn good amount considering she gets 3 months off a year between Summer, Christmas, Fall and Spring breaks. At 11.26 per hour if you are working 60 hour weeks (and I'm assuming that you are getting time plus 1/2 for everything over 40) then you pull in just under 41k per year. The first year my wife was teaching she pulled in several thousand more than that and she only worked 40 hr weeks 9 mths a year.

A first year teacher in Iowa doesn't break $30k if I remember right. They did get a raise passed this year but I don't remember what it was.
 
Average $85K? I would hate to see your taxes... either way, starting salary around Dayton, Ohio for a public school teacher is ~$30K (just under). Most max out at around $65-70K with a masters + lots of hours + 25 or more years on the job.
