The little guy

[FSS3Cert.CorpTECH]

If you think about getting a new job working for Dish Network sounds good. Then you find out that its all a lie. I have worked for the corporate world of Dish for three year and was promised a two dollar per hour raise and a 10% raise for every FSS test I was to pass.
I started out at 10dollars an hour. Three years later I am only making 11.26 per hour. They refused to give me the two dollars that was promised if I was to relocate to a different state. They would not give me the 10% raise for the FSS 1 test that I passed. They gave me the 10% raise for the FSS 2 Test but never did give me a 10% FSS 3 raise. We are also promised a once a year percentage raise but in three years I have only received 1yearly raise; if I had received all the raises that was promised to me I would be making around 15 dollars an hour but since I am the little guy I only make 11.26 an hour
And I have worked every one of my birthdays, thanksgivings, Christmas, etc. since I have worked for this company. I have worked a minimum 10 hours to 22 hours a day for this company and this is how they thank me. When I start to complain about my pay and working like a slave the corporate world decides that I need to be fired. You want to know more.
Just ask, I have three years of Dish Networks secrets that I will let people know.

Doesn't sound very good, but why complain. If you don't like the job move on. I doubt that you have many secrets that we don't already know around here

Did they threaten to fire you or have you already been fired?

 

[ndyclrk]

my family wants me to sue and they are big business owners that said i can use their lawyers fully funded

 

[lakebum431]

Do you have anything in writing? If it is just your word against theirs I don't see you having much of a case.

Good deal... be sure to keep us informed on the things you can talk about during the case.

Are you going to work for your family now?

 

[tsduke]

Why do many resort to law suits whenever they feel the slightest bit wronged?

As digiblur said "Dust off the resume' and start looking!"

 

[tawhite]

Sorry, but you would have to be a complete idiot to work 22 hours a day for anybody!!!

 

[lakebum431]

Well, it is obvious that his 22 hrs a day was not true and totally unrealistic. I find it hard to believe that any customers would allow installs from 10PM-7AM so that leaves only 15 possible hours that he could work in a given day. My guess is there is more to the story but whatever. You ready to share your "secrets" with everyone yet?

 

[gadgtfreek]

Ill tell you the same thing I tell anyone who complains about how bad a job is.

Its a free country, quit and find something else.

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

I would say watch what you say, as when you started working you signed a bunch of documents which could limit what you could talk about in regards to the company.

Remember while we do keep things private here, if Dish got a warrent for your information we would be required to pass along your information. (We don't want to do that)

I worked for them before but they wanted me to go out on my own and learn wat it was like in the real world so i can start my own business
I know now that the little guy gets sh*t on to make the big guy richer

You would be suprised i have hade customers that have night jobs that sleep buring the day and want the tech out there when they dont work on their day off

 

[KE4EST]

Well keep us posted and we shall see where this goes.

its not that it is a bad job, it was a good job untill the management started treating the techs bad to make themselfs look better

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 their is such a high turnover rate
and when you need money they seem to get you to work insane hours
