like the title says im a little new to the game but was just let go from HP. I searched for PEAK but i found like 9 different peaks and didnt think any of them were the right one, and ive heard of Hemmersbach but thats about all the knowledge i have for employment options.
EDIT: i should probably mention im in the Baltimore, MD area
For 9000$ an hour there's not much I won't do 😂
Currently 8pm. Hard start is 9am tomorrow. I submitted a counter due to low hourly rate. Any chance I'll hear back in time? Maybe head to site anyway and get on the phone with FN support on the way?
Always charge a trip charge.
Why!? Discourage frivolous / unnecessary dispatches. (unless you like wasting your time).
I've had like 30 work orders all routed to me for 30 per hour all around me ranging from my home town than 500 miles away. 30 per hour is crazy low and there's tons of counter offers already on some. So I decided to do my own counter offers of 10K for 8 hours and 500 per hour after. Not only did they make and route the WOs to me they messaged on every single one of them phone would not quit chirping between field nation notifications and email notifications . Company is
TECHS IN A SEC
This is an example of the insanity that is found on FN. enjoy...
$45/hr for 40hrs ($1800 total)
"This would most likely be 4 10 Hour shifts Monday through Thursday."
yes the buyer thinks that is all it will take to install the following:

Recently, I was dispatched to a data center for a system board and CPU replacement. Upon arrival, I found that the server would not turn on. After unracking the server, I inspected the CPU pins and noticed that the socket pins were bent, with traces of thermal grease present on both CPU slots.
I promptly informed the end client about my findings and documented the situation. I was instructed to proceed with replacing the motherboard due to the damage to both CPU sockets.
Memory diagnostics show the following results.
* All DIMMs associated with CPU0 were detected successfully.
* On CPU1 only four out of eight dims were detected.
* All DIMMs associated with CPU1 consistently failed validation.
Further troubleshooting was performed by swapping known-good DIMMs from CPU0 with the non-detected DIMMs on CPU1. Results were consistent across multiple tests.
* DIMMs previously reported as failed on CPU one functioned normally when install installed on CPU0.
* Known-good DIMMs from CPU0 reported as failed when installed in the affected CPU1 DIMMs slots.
This behavior confirm that the DIMMs themselves are functional and the system is isolated to the CPU1 memory channel or associated DIMM slots on the SYSTEM board.
When is this going to stop? Pizza Pete? Don’t take the jobs you are not qualified for.
I have been very dissatisfied with the percentage that Field Nation subtracts from the total value of our work orders. To me if you had a multi thousand work order, why in the hell do they STILL GET 15% OF THE TOTAL VALUE ???
We are treated like the sheep that we are. Every amount of money they get should have a fixed ceiling for a work order. Period. How much money is the Overhead for a job that they only facilitate as the broker. This isn't a real estate fee. It's a service fee for OUR SERVICES !
According to them they are growing every year over year. So how much do they have to pay the people that are supporting the bank of the 10 14.4 modems. Stealing power from their neighbor.
Now if you want to get something done about this, can't we join together somehow to enforce my idea. They just subtracted a whooping $376 DOLLARS on a $2250 work order !??? Totally bullshit
I was recently given a WO last saturday morning, the service date was the same day, saturday the 2nd, 9am. I accepted the WO at 7:21am, and confirmed it. I took a shower before to get ready as it would take 30 minutes to drive to the site. I always plan to arrive on time so naturally I just woke up and needed to shower. My phone was blown up by the buyer, requesting images of a console cable ,which I have on my FN profile. Anyways, I'm not sure if that had anything to do with it. But I was responsive, answered the phone, replied to them. Then they said the buyer cancelled the WO and it was called off.
I thought there was a cancellation fee but it now says its been waived?
UPDATE: I got my cancellation fee approved 😄
I did my research on the company and seen a lot of bad reviews and just wanted to hear about anyone’s personal experience with the company.
I understand that it is a source of revenue
But are we covered under the contract or like in Texas there is a liscense that’s like getting a pluming or electrical
And that seems to be sliding because of dollar g
In this state
But is it normal where ur at to be at least registered
I’ve posted on here before — I’m always looking for solid, reliable techs.
I run a small low voltage / network company here in Michigan and we’re starting to get busier, so I’m looking to bring on some part-time guys I can trust. This would be as-needed work — I’ll call you when jobs come in.
What I’m looking for:
Dependable — if you say you’re showing up, you show up
Experience in low voltage, cabling, cameras, network installs, etc.
Have your own tools
You don’t need to supply materials, but if you do, you’ll be paid for it
I’m not posting pay on here — everyone’s skill level and value is different. If you’re good at what you do, you’ll be paid fairly. Simple as that.
I pay on time, I treat people right, and I’m trying to build something long-term — not just throw jobs around.
If you’re in Michigan (Tri-County area or nearby) and want to pick up work, message me with your experience and contact info.
Seems I cannot get a single job, not sure if the market is truly that saturated, anyone here in SoCal that has gotten some jobs?
