When you are offered a job, you should know what its going to take to complete your tasks. If you don't think the pay is sufficient, then don't take the job. The last thing you should do is do crappy work because you don't think you are compensated correctly.
I'm surprised some of you actually have jobs with attitudes like this. This is the type of comments you hear coming from workers at Mcdonalds.
Redwing hit this right on the head. I used to work for a DNSC in CA. I quit about 1.5 years ago when DISH started to cut the pay. I understand that now a job I used to get 100$ for pays about 50-60$. Lets see.... Will everyone else take a pay cut of 30-40% in thier job and still do the same work at the same level and have a good attitude about it? When this came down I made the right choice and quit.
Yes alot of techs have the same kind of attitudes as those at McD's since in some cases you can make more money there then you can at DISH. The area I used to work in I was lucky to get 3 jobs completed to the 100% level in a 12hour day. I had ALOT of pole mounts and ALOT of customers that really wanted dish but would nix the only location where I could get signal due to trees. The routes i would drive really sucked. My worst day was 2 trouble calls and a 1rcvr install. For those 3 jobs I drove over 300 miles in one day. The best part was the install job wasn't home and I was there on time. So that day paid me about 40$. I could have done much better flipping burgers at In-N-Out for 10$\hr.
