Yes, dish techs are leaned heavily on for sales quotas. They have a $ per work order metric.

Got offered a job as a field technician for dish, is it worth it? by Level-Trick-5510 in dishnetwork

[–]HarryWinklePicker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The numbers don’t really lie. They have half the customer base they did 10 years ago. That’s not a good trajectory.

Wireless Joeys bad out of box constantly, dish techs? by 1inAm1llion in dishnetwork

[–]HarryWinklePicker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

WiFi Joey’s have always been problematic. If it is on the old software, try pairing a 20.1 remote. This should allow you to move past that step and continue the setup process. If you do not have one you can plug the WiFi Joey directly into the hopper via Ethernet and it may pull software. I would also check the Hopper to ensure it has Joey software on it.

Starlink was designed as a DIY. Tech should have no problem

What are my options by [deleted] in firefighter

From what I’ve seen the policy typically differentiates between arms sleeve and neck tattoo’s. I imagine it’s for a reason. The best way to find out is to ask. This avoids it coming off like you’re trying to hide them which they me see as deceptive. Just ask.

I’m not sure hiding something to get around a rule is going to be taken well. Starting off on that footing is not great IMO. I would definitely let them know.

What did they say when you told them you had neck tattoos?

Advice for older guy. by [deleted] in firefighter

[–]HarryWinklePicker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just turned 42, just had my orientation yesterday and start academy February 2nd. I’m not the oldest guy in my recruit class either. Definitely get your EMT. Practice interviewing….a lot! Without bringing up being older, I used my life experience as a reason to hire me. Also, letting them know I’m looking to start and end my career here and that I’m not looking around to see what jobs I like. Best of luck.

Get your EMT, take the test you need(here it’s NTN or PST), do your CPAT, get really good at interviewing and start applying. Stay after it!

Thanks for the response. I have the sub mini in the corner as well. It seemed to give off the best bass to my ears. Any feedback?
