i hear that.... the last company i work for i carried THERE phone ever place i went. answered ever time it would ring. always there to help out....then i figured out i was the only one who did it....stupid me! now if i am on call yep got the phone but i will not sit at home and wait for a call i go about my business. if i am out with the family i will charge them from the time they call untill the time i get back in my house. but if i am not on call don't call me i don't care how big of a customer you have that needs the elevator, if i am that important and the only one that can fix the elevator you need to pay me more are get some training for you other employees. it's not my or new guys fault that has been putting in hydro's for the last 4 years and now has a mech. card in his pocket, standing in front of a 60 year old controller and not be able to find his way threw the prints. schooling for are trade is very out of date, and too short in my opinion....... sorry just bitching!
