Bartlett:What pile are you in?

<< < (2/10) > >>

not knowing who the SC was, we have no way of knowing if he/she was able to tell a good tech from a bad one.....I've seen several SC's who gave no indication of being able to tell the difference. Bruce's criteria were probably based on input from previous SC's that these people had worked for. I know Bruce has never pretended to understand the workings of our craft. I'm not sure which pile I'd be in.......I've been on  notsosecret tech in waiting (I left a job after being 'asked' to stay on for a couple more weeks), but that was 24 yrs ago and I really haven't had trouble getting work w/ B since. I was on the infamous 'J's' BROWN LIST (I think anyone who was on it knows why I'm referring to it as the 'brown list'....it wasn't for UPS deliveries) during the mid 90's....but I always managed to get work through the other recruiters (thanx Eric, Marie, Kelly, etc) and Bruce was always more than accomodating if there was a job I REALLY wanted to go to.

A comment along those lines. The same can be said when a new SC takes over a plant contract. I was always brought in 2-3 weeks prior to the outage at a certain PA plant. Now with the new SC in charge, I am arriving 5 days prior to the start of the outage.(I am not the only one this has happened to) Is it just coincidence?? I think NOT! I have been told that the other techs who got "stiffed" vowed to never go there again. I, on the other hand, felt "wronged" but, I like the plant and the people there so I just smile and nod my head like a good little RP. Listen up people!! AS LONG AS OTHERS HAVE THE POWER TO PICK AND CHOOSE IT WILL ALWAYS BE THAT WAY! :P

I have to agree with darkmatter. I think we all can agree, no matter what company it is, the company is going to put in their prodigal sons and daughters first. The next wave is people who leave from another "company" job and are able to come in and augment that job. The third wave is the people who haven't done anything too terrible to p.....ss the company off lately and they decide that you are acceptable enough to hire for that job. Then and only then, do the people who have done anything to incense the company, even get a shot at a position. That is when you get a call from a recruiter you haven't heard from in 2 years.

I have put in for quite a few ALARA positions or other-than-tech positions, and haven't worked for Bartlett in 3 years. I guess that tells you I am in the sh....t pile, or just found work with other companies. Do we really ever know what pile we are in with any company? Unless you work in the home office, or have a direct route to all the insider trading, you really don't know jack, do you?

To Dave Warren, Bravisimo! I could not have said it better myself!! ;D
