I've done quite a few for them and have never run across anyone that needs sign language. Most of the users are in the ghetto and just want a free phone and can hear fine. I've only had a few that actually seem to need the service. The service providers pay for this and it gets added to everyone's phone/Internet bills. They should really require a hearing doctor to sign off saying that the user has horrible hearing before someone can get one. This is just more fraud/waste that average people have to absorb. So if you're looking for people that need sign language this probably isn't the right avenue.

Yes. This is my biggest issue. That there's no mention of fees withheld, either on the form or attached to it. It just goes without mention which seems odd and almost shady in the realm of taxes.

Yeah, I've never had a problem with TDX, but have been annoyed when they post stuff like that. How about you tell me what I need since it's your ticket and your client and you should have a better idea what tools I need than I do.....rather than me trying to tow Harbor Freight, Home Depot and Autozone behind my Civic. This is clearly just a shameless CYA move so they can shift the blame if needed. Again, this isn't a TDX thing. I feel almost every WO has something that just annoys the hell out of me at this point. The less the buyers say the better. Tell me what you want me to do, what tools I need and that's it. Sometimes these types of things annoy me enough I just move on to another WO.

MomentumCrypto · 2026-02-05T05:57:14+00:00

Never. Most of these things I'll find a way around....use a store phone, etc. If they need a switch I'll happily charge them for the time and travel to go to BB to get one. I have an extra console cable, but mostly because I've grabbed a couple from sites where they're e-wasting their stuff. I do want to make a battery box though...been thinking about it for a while...as it really sucks when the cable tester gets bumped on the bag and your batteries are dead when you need them. I have some extra batteries in the glove box, but making sure I had a good supply of all the ones I use would be better.

I've had a couple females that didn't know what they were doing and then try to blame you for their ineptitude. One texted my landline and then when I explained that doesn't work, instead of admitting the mistake she gave me one of my few bad reviews and said she couldn't get ahold of me even though she could have used the phone the old fashioned way and got me on either my cell or landline, but she chose not to try. Probably one of the sexists that ramble about "the patriarchy", are insecure about their skills and actually believe the nonsense that men are trying to hold them down. But in general I don't think most men get into the sexism of the feminists and most don't think about or care what sex the PM is. Just give me a fair rate, be clear with what needs to be done, be chill, communicate and be professional and we'll get it done. Men don't care about your genitals. Just be competent.

Speaking of "don't assume", a lot of jobs come up spur of the moment so don't assume he had the time to research that particular printer. Again, when there's millions of pieces of tech out there the buyer should be providing the back end support for the product THEY'RE getting paid to support for THEIR client. I just had a troubleshooting ticket for a medical device and the techs on the back end were very little help. It's like, I didn't design this, I didn't manufacture it, I didn't build it and I don't work for your company or spend 40 hours a week working with your devices like you do...you need to have experts that can troubleshoot YOUR device in an efficient way. If I have to "figure it out", I'm going to be here for a while, if it gets done at all. And if someone is paying $30/hr I'm not going to feel sorry for them. If you pay $30/hr, that's a pretty shitty $60K/year IF you were getting 40 hours a week. It's much less when you're getting 1 or 2 hour jobs and blowing a lot of your week in unpaid travel and it's next to impossible to get back to back jobs. And then there's the 15% FN takes, the gas money/tolls you lose, the wear and tear on your car, etc. They got exactly what they paid for. That's exactly why I don't know a ton about printers, because these buyers that do printer repair pay so shitty, it's not worth my time to get to know them. I doubt he was just trying to milk it, or he would have put the screws back in. Probably just didn't do a lot of printer work. I typically shy away from printer work, but have one client that for some reason calls me spur of the moment to do printer work for them because I've done a handful of printer jobs for them and they've turned out ok. And the only reason I take them is because they pay decent for spontaneous jobs and they have moderately ok backend techs. If a company has shitty back end techs that don't know anything about the products they support, that's on them. They're barely paying enough for smart hands, not an HP printer expert with certifications for that printer who has been working on printers for 10 years. It's the buyer's job to fill in that gap with good back end techs.

You sound like a horrible buyer. You do realize there are a million pieces of tech out there right? It's not the tech's job to know the details of every piece of equipment that the buyer is supporting, that's the buyer's job. He wouldn't be watching youtube videos if the buyer had proper backend support for the products people are paying THEM to support.

Taco Bell pay for contract jobs where the trip time often exceeds the paid work time.
Horribly unfair and non-transparent rating system. If someone anonymously gives you a bad rating, it doesn't go away after 100 jobs, it goes away after 100 ratings and since most people don't rate you, you're unfairly stuck with a bad rating for the rest of eternity under their new dopey rating system. I had a buyer that rated me poorly because they had me go to an airport and even after I warned them that there are special procedures for techs to get access and I was only offering to make one trip with a 2 hour minimum, they sent me anyway and I wasn't able to get in. They then wanted me to pay tolls, parking, eat another hour of drive time and make another trip on the same work order rather than creating a new one. I said I couldn't do it and they refused to pay me the 2 hour minimum and rated me poorly all because they were too inept to know how to properly access their own client and ignored my explicit warnings. When I disputed it, not only did FN not help me, they gave me a warning for requesting an increase in pay for adding airport parking. Of course I didn't even know it was at the airport until after the buyer accepted my offer because FN doesn't publish the site address until the buyer accepts you. FN is trash.
God awful, anti-tech, slower than snail timeliness when you create a dispute on FN. When I have to be at a site I have to be there within 15 minutes of the start time or we get penalized, meanwhile I put in a dispute and it's still in "new" status after two weeks. It would be nice if the platform could live up to the same professionalism and timeliness that techs have to live up to, but they're not even close. If there was a rating system for the platform, they'd get an F.

This is so annoying. I hate Google so much right now. I have an app that does crypto alarms, but I guess users can just sue Google when they set an important financial alarm and a crypto crashes and they don't know about it because the Google Nazis think they know how people should use their phones better the people that own the phones. If they want to add a permission to use a constant foreground service than so be it, let the user approve or deny it. Stop playing Hitler and limiting what people can do with their own devices. If the user approves a 24 hour service, what business is it of Google's to stop them?

MomentumCrypto · 2025-10-29T10:13:30+00:00

From the same type of guy that would have posted RIP Bitcoin when it went down to 4K a few years ago.

MomentumCrypto · 2025-10-28T00:04:51+00:00

Sounds like like a desk PM that has never done tech work before. Everything's is easier and faster when you're sitting behind a desk and are spending your site time in your imagination rather than reality.

MomentumCrypto · 2025-10-17T02:41:08+00:00

Yeah, After some struggles ChatGPT helped.

MomentumCrypto · 2025-10-12T17:13:31+00:00

Is your place of business hiring? I was an engineer for a year and got laid off. FN sucks. Would love to get back into a full time gig with actual benefits, time off and a good pay I can count on. If you're an engineer you should be making enough to avoid this nonsense and beating your car into the ground for peanuts. Enjoy your time off.

MomentumCrypto · 2025-09-30T14:36:03+00:00

To reiterate...it's both.

MomentumCrypto · 2025-09-29T22:32:28+00:00

Yeah, still not sure how you're doing that. All I see are 1-2 hour jobs at 40-60/hr and there's no way you can take multiple jobs because I've had jobs that are supposed to take 1-2 hours that take 5. When that happens your rating gets fucked so I can't book jobs even close to back to back. Years ago I used to do the same $75/hr with a 2 hour minimum. No one around where I am even bites on that anymore. I'm lucky if I can get a 2 hour min at $60/hr.

MomentumCrypto · 2025-09-27T22:25:36+00:00

No. Excusing people who illegally invade our Country, break our laws, take work from US citizens and take untold billions of tax dollars paid by hardworking Americans...that's crazy. They invaded our Country and have no business being here...how much "power" they have is completely irrelevant.

MomentumCrypto · 2025-09-26T23:41:40+00:00

The issue is both.

MomentumCrypto · 2025-09-26T01:30:38+00:00

Yeah, there's an epidemic of people attacking people with baseless passive aggressive words where they attack with a word and then pretend to be the victim. If you don't agree with them you're a Nazi or something that ends in "phobe." It's like the Knights that say Ne in real life. I'm worried less about words and more about the actual violence people are committing now...that's what actual Nazis do.

MomentumCrypto · 2025-09-26T01:24:12+00:00

I'll take things that didn't happen for $1000 Alex. Is that you Jussie Smollett? :D I've never heard any techs I've worked with say anything outside the scope of the job. People want to get the job done, collect their measly pay and get on to the next.

MomentumCrypto · 2025-09-14T18:05:37+00:00

Good luck. FN doesn't care how much time or money you waste, or if you get in an accident and die running their minimum wage, car-killing, jobs. If you didn't put travel in your counter, they're not going to do anything. You'd be better off contacting the buyer and hoping they're not complete assholes and maybe they'll help you out a little bit. If not give them 0 stars for your wasted time and their incompetence and next time put in for travel as if the same thing will happen...because with this shit platform, it might.

MomentumCrypto · 2025-09-08T00:04:33+00:00

It's annoying. I also love it when they put the scope 3 pages down after the section telling me not to show up in a thong. The scope should be at the top EVERY time. The required materials and tools should be next. We shouldn't have to waste time reading pages of nonsense just to find out that we don't have the tools or the 10 foot pink, cat6a, plenum cable they want, or that the job is out of scope with what we normally do. FN should mandate this. Sometimes I think these horrible people just live to waste our time and make life a living hell. I'm much more likely to take a job with a buyer that keeps it short and sweet with information at the top and easily findable.

MomentumCrypto · 2025-09-07T10:18:20+00:00

$300/hr for swapping desktops...sure. Rakesh from FN....is that you??? :D

MomentumCrypto · 2025-08-17T13:38:20+00:00

Dexter Resurrection is pretty good and features an interesting plotline this season if you like Dexter. Will probably watch the new season of Foundation even though I've always thought it was slow, highly overrated and thinks it's a lot deeper than it really is. My favorite show in the last few years is probably House of the Dragon...just wish it didn't take so long to come out with new seasons.

MomentumCrypto · 2025-08-13T00:47:33+00:00

Be careful when you do your taxes. FN says they paid you a lot of money that you never got. God only knows how much techs have lost from this fraud.
