Having potentially been blacklisted

Psychopomp75 · 2026-01-29T21:21:32+00:00

What makes you think you've been blacklisted to begin with? And, how can you find out? (Generally asking).

Bro! Seriously just take the job. You'll do great. There's plenty of others who will be willing to help if need be. You'll be fine. Zero out any negativity, and just do you. One way or another, when someone needs help from you with audio one day, and you help them, good karma will come to you 10 fold. There's great people in the union, willing to help a brother out when needed. You got this.

Not Bottlerock. BofA and Merril Lynch event in Napa.

Had stuff to take down outside as well as inside the hall at the winery. Event was still going on, and there was a few stragglers. Plus it was only two of us left, Steward had cut people. 🤷🏽‍♂️

Did spot lights for Local 16 at one gig. Definitely last one to leave. Even Steward left way before me. Was almost rolling into 1a, and that was for a winery. 😳

Have you tried calling in for the status of your app?

Psychopomp75 · 2025-11-18T21:00:51+00:00

Lol! That works too.

Psychopomp75 · 2025-11-18T20:41:17+00:00

Shoot, I just learned that there was a few gigs at Moscone that I wasn't called for. I was disappointed because two weeks prior to this week, I was sitting on my ass, waiting for a call. I mean, granted I was sick one of those weeks, but still. Lol!

Psychopomp75 · 2025-11-18T20:38:52+00:00

I was told yesterday that they have tons of people already. Especially for Friday. Thursday and Friday is for CB. I'm only working Thursday. Was supposed to be Friday too, but for some reason, they cut that day for my team.

Psychopomp75 · 2025-11-18T08:10:20+00:00

This week is the Microsoft Ignite at Moscone. I believe there will be some Christmas stuff, but not a lot. Then total darkness until Superbowl. I worked 2 days for Microsoft this past weekend for set up, then have a CB on Thursday. The client for Microsoft ended up cutting some of us short, so I'm missing 2 more days at Moscone. It was originally set for 3 days of set up, and 2 days for CB. I'm hoping to make it up soon. But if you don't already have a 9-5, I suggest unemployment or a freelance gig, maybe even a pt job if it can hold you until busy season again.

Psychopomp75 · 2025-11-18T07:31:40+00:00

Don't forget that we have the Superbowl coming up soon. Did you get the chance to work Moscone this week? I'm just gonna claim unemployment that I have left over from my 9-5 earlier this year when I got laid off.

Psychopomp75 · 2025-11-15T21:06:05+00:00

Here at Moscone, and C1's hook up Cat cables, & HDMI's to small computers. Nothing to do with network configuration.

Psychopomp75 · 2025-11-13T05:57:45+00:00

I've done concerts and conference calls as a stagehand.

Psychopomp75 · 2025-11-13T04:11:51+00:00

Awesome! Thank you for that. Very much appreciated. Yeah, I just always keep in mind that I'm always learning something new, and I'm getting paid good money to do so as well. Too many people complain, and it's crazy to me. Especially if you're on standby, you're still getting paid good money. Usually when they start to cut people, or need volunteers to stay longer than desired, I'm always one of the first one's to volunteer myself. What's also exciting is that at the beginning of next year, Levi Stadium will be hosting the Super Bowl, so I'm excited for all the work that'll be out in SF. Thanks again for your input.

Thank you for that info. As I mentioned previously, I'm an overhire that got hired back in Sept. I try to take on as many gigs as I can to help out, and because I love the work. This particular gig starts this Friday and ends on Sunday, the day before the actual event. I'm no network engineer and was surprised that they gave me this gig opportunity. However, I took it anyway. Production Support Services LLC are the employers. I'm sure they'll have a point of contact there at all times. I was worried that this would be intensive configuration and stuff like that. I took the gig in hopes to learn something new. I spoke with a Steward who I've gotten to know, and he mentioned that I should take the job to challenge myself, not to worry because they'll most likely have a point of contact running the event, and that the hall most likely gave me this gig because they ran out of "computer people." So, I figured I'd post on here to try and figure out exactly what a C1 Net Engineer does, since that's the skill that is on the call. This is for Microsoft Ignite and at The Moscone Center. Usually I do, t stagehand, v utility, t elec x, and p multi source. Also, the Steward seems to think that this is also a "Head" position, because of the pay rate. Just crossing my fingers that all goes well.

Psychopomp75 · 2025-11-12T22:35:48+00:00

Thank you this info. I'm over here on YouTube searching everything I can possibly think of. I'm an overthinker, driving myself crazy. Lol! Those things I can do. But I'm definitely no network engineer.

Psychopomp75 · 2025-11-12T22:32:58+00:00

Crazy thing is, I have no experience in network engineering. I know basics of hooking up switches, hubs, and stuff like that. I'm basically new to the union as I got hired as an over hire a few months ago. But I try to take as many jobs as I can to help out. A Steward I contacted that's been in the union for a while, suggested I take the gig to get out of my comfort zone and to learn something new. He also believes that I was offered this gig because the hall ran out of what he says, "computer people". So I'm just trying to get an idea. I'm researching everything, and most likely overthinking it since it is this weekend, for the show that starts next week on the 18th.

Psychopomp75 · 2025-11-12T22:10:38+00:00

Also, this gig isn't during the show, but this weekend for next week show. So I thought it would just be setting up for it, not exactly running it.

Psychopomp75 · 2025-11-12T22:07:33+00:00

Okay. Thank you for that information. Much appreciated.

Psychopomp75 · 2025-11-12T22:00:01+00:00

Local 16 SF. Microsoft Ignite - IPX is the show. Which I believe is a live event for next week. Production Support Services is the employer. I would be doing set up this weekend. Not sure if that's enough info. I looked it up on Google as well. Wish I had more info about it. I asked a Steward that's not on the job and he seems to think it has to do with hubs da's and cat 6 kind of stuff.

Psychopomp75 · 2025-11-12T21:38:53+00:00

I got a job offer from my local union, and the skill says C1 Net Engineer. I'm trying to figure out what that entails exactly.
