So I saw a smart safe removal that I didn't think too much about it and figured it was on my way to something else, so easily done. Arrive early and go to change the time but obviously it's a problem because no one answers the support number that you're supposed to coordinate with even though the people doing the work order have already reached out to make sure you're on your way there.

I walk in and tell them what I'm there for, have paperwork in my hand and they show me the smart safe. It needs to be removed and they are kind of surprised because they have been putting money in the safe and no one from Garda has pulled the money out in a couple of weeks.

I call the people that were making sure that I'm on my way and explain everything and they tell me it will have to be rescheduled but then the company who's safe it actually is calls me and says they'll get back with me after I've been released. I check out and have left but now the people that managed the safe expect me to go back and do it anyway and just make sure the safe gets returned with the money in it. I have to tell you that's a hard no in my particular instance. They were not happy.

After all the work I've done for financial institutions and retail places that take cash handling very seriously, there is no way that I am pulling a safe apart that's full of cash.

Imagine what could go wrong... How much support would you get from the platform on that one?

They needed someone to do an alignment of a sat dish. Asked them all the appropriate questions as to location and access. Made offer. Crickets.

Time passes and now it's a problem because work needs accomplished and they entertain the offer and agree to it. Arrive on site but no sat meter as per their representations. 90 minutes later it's off site with another techs name.

Absolutely unsafe access needing harness and tie off with second person or 60 foot boom lift. Still want MDF checked to see if that is the problem so we do that. No fixing it. So released from site but they demand a sign off sheet that isn't included in the work order. Sent via email as PDF and they will call back later after you get signatures on it. Like really?

Needs a closeout number to finish ticket. So I request closeout code and get a return call. Seems since they have had so many techs steal sat meters they don't generate the code until you return the meter and they examine it to make sure it's good. Told them I'm not that tech. They need to pay people that are good so no one steals their shit. They get what they pay for. Added that it's not ok and if that's what they do ill never work for them again since it's essentially a month to wait for them to pay.

Meanwhile FN is dinging you about not closing the ticket. Escalated ticket. So I'm sure I'll be dinged with the secret scoring process but screw these people that do shit off the platform we are supposed to live by but they aren't transparent and don't put everything on the ticket.

You all have been warned. Provider beware.

Just curious if any current or former employees are familiar with the S-240 fire problems because they don't have a spark arrestor or materials to eliminate the exhaust and engine heat that cause the carburetor/fuel line to easily ignite. The more expensive models have shielding and precautions but this model doesn't. While I understand that there's reluctance to spend any money to remedy these issues it reminds me of Ford with Pintos years ago.

I just watched a mower completely consume itself and after it happened I realized exactly how this happened. Just wondering if anybody else has anything to add. Feel free to direct message me. I'm kind of pissed actually.
