@shannon02 Correct I was just telling the poster that the tech can’t just ‘choose’ what jobs to do and not do. Whatever jobs are assigned to them each day they must do in a satisfactory manner unless otherwise told.

Technician not showing up for appointed time

Am I the only customer that has trouble with a technician not showing up? We have been dealing with this issue for three visits.  I was given a window of 12-4 and all three times they wanted to extend the time frame to 6 pm.  Technician never called or texted me saying he coming or not co

Currently have worked for an HSP for just about 18 years....This last year a lot of fraudulent activity has been going on. We were informed in the last couple of months that our contract HSP for Directv may not renew and is set to expire. My company's new policy is to close jobs out that weren't a

ATT workers on strike

I understand the worker's at ATT are on strike and I see picket lines at my local ATT store.  What are the issues?  Is ATT treating their workers fairly?

AFAIK techs don't know what jobs they are going to until the computer tells them.

How funny that their solution is to ignore the issue and offer you one of the only 13 jobs they have but only if you can move to California, Georgia, Iowa, Kentucky, Missouri, Ohio, Tennessee, Texas, Wisconsin.  They say there are US reps but not onc

How can I connect with a customer service rep in the United States?

There seems to be something lost in communication when I speak with your reps overseas.  I've had 3-4 calls with AT&T reps in other countries and I no longer wish to deal with them.  The one call I had with a rep in the US was a pleasure to speak with.    I want that experience because I'm in need o

Charged $124 for "FREE TRIAL" 2 days into 14 day free trial!

The title says it. I upgraded my phone at AT&T and was asked if I would like to try the DirectTV box to receive a $100 credit towards my ATT account. I asked time and time again, explaining that I am a disabled veteran on a fixed income if I would be charged. Time and time again they looked me d

New on demand Format

The new on demand format is awful!  The boxes look like att is trying to be like the facebook 'likes' which suck anyway.  Those big boxes you are using don't tell us a thing and certainly do not make navigating the on demand list easier, they make it harder.  When I finally do get to a list the font

The amount of training they get basically tells them to navigate the script.  CSR jobs are low pay, high stress, high turnover. Doesn't do to spend much time training them, they won't be there long.

Unbeliveable! Two reps i went thru who they just told me I cant get the larger uverse dvr or 6 streams because I would need 1gig speed.

Here is what I would do, call them, tell them you need installation on whatever day you choose, and ask if they have any cancellations or if they could work you inbetween jobs for that day.  More likely than not, they will be able to help you.

Always understand how these mega corporations operate. AT&T is not negotiating to restore anything. Right now they are scheming to take away more channels. They are figuring out how many more jobs they can eliminate, and which ones. The ongoing goal
