Old Bartlett pre-Bartlett Holdings era

In my opinion people do not differentiate between Bartlett and some of the blood sucking scum recruiters they hire.
I have only spoken with Eric on a few occasions, and never the big man himself. Eric always treated me courteously and gave me the straight dope.
There once was a recruiter named Jamie. He was a prick.
I had enough of the DOE sight I went to for "six weeks".. Turned out to be more than a three hour cruise. After seven months, wanting to go work an outage, "Nope nothing open"; so NUMANCO hired me.
Next thing I know when I show up at another Bartlett site, through many problems and interventions by the some top site people, the site coordinator ask me "What did you do to Jamie? He told me to screw you over anyway I can."
Seems SOME recruiters forget they work for blood money. Our Blood.

Geee, once again put yourself in their position! Do you think it's in Bartlett's best intrest to keep moving you around before their jobs are completed? ::) Some contracts might even have some clauses to protect the utlities or clients from this revolving door effect. Did you take the job when there was limited work, say in summer? Then want to jump on the first outage in the fall, couldn't just suck it up for another couple of weeks. You know you loose a bit of money when you relocate too! :-/

omigod.... whotinell are yinzes bitchin about? i been on almost as many lists as jjordan with bartlett, had a stint with my employee # onna dart board too, iffen i remember right. never had a problem working, not always where i wanted, at least while i was onna "wrong" list, BUT, that is a business, and like jjordan alluded to, iffe ya talk to 'em, differences will be resolved.
on anudder hand, dem blue-bloods ain't no different than any other contracting co. i been on lists with all of them.... must be my attitude that occasionally shines forth ::)... some were easier to deal with than others, but when it comes to money, they are all the same. bruce has the majority of the work now. he didn't always have it - some of us can remember when he would say that he would never bid a prime contract 'cause it doesn't pay as well - and he may not have it forever. but it is a business, and iffen yer professional, it'll work for you. and you. and you too! ;)

I have never had any problems with Bartlett. I even left a job early at Millstone to return close to home for a long term job with another company. I was straightforward with Eric and Brian and they both wished me well and have gotten me jobs since. I am not even sure if they do it but if they look out for techs that work with them steady (which I don't)I can understand those techs getting first priority on jobs as they come up. If I could suggest any improvements it would be in streamlining the home office. After one outage at Brunswick it took a little to long to get my final payroll check, perdiem, bonus, and travel because they were all handled by different departments I was told. Direct Deposit wouldn't be bad either but we don't wanna go there again. :o
Already Gone:
I gotta say that I neither love nor hate Bartlett. At the moment, there are precious few alternatives. Maybe I'm just not the kind of guy who expects an employer in a distant town to do back-flips to accomodate my preferences. All I really want is for them to keep me working for a reasonable amount of time and for them to pay me when I am working. So far, I haven't had a problem. It helps to remember that they want the same things too.
