You pay them? Who are you? Shouldn’t your gm handle it then?

If you are talking about the three on the right they are not. Literally all 8 of these guys are staring at this hole. They have been working on for 3 months

Oof, what a terrible take. You clearly have no idea what you're talking about. Might I suggest deleting this post before it gets downvoted to hell?

If the boss tells you to go there and wait for the truck which should already have arrived, what are you supposed to do?

Yeah. Sometimes this sort of thing makes sense. I don't see any real equipment there, so if they're digging around something sensitive and have to do it by hand that shit is exhausting, makes it possible to keep the job going by tagging out when you get too winded.
If they look like they're having a good time they might just like the dudes they work with.
Of course occasionally it's gotta be unnecessary, like at any job, a lazy day here or there.

This is pretty standard in any blue collar job.

There are three of them working on something. You can't always all be there doing the job, you need to be on standby for when they need the people.

Ann Kelley is a clown. A right wing religious kook the type the Founding Fathers worried about when writing the Constitution. She should go back to her Bible study and leave state policy to people with brains and a respect for all people.

Several years ago when it was still CenturyLink I called and threatened to go to a different company that had just came in to my area at a cheaper rate. They changed me over to a $45 month plan to keep me. The stipulations were that I don't cancel or move it would be a lifetime rate. You may give it a try?

I don't know why you're getting sassy. You said you didn't understand something and I tried explained it as simple as possible.
Nobody may go there just to buy a shirt but clearly some people are buying shirts there otherwise they wouldn't keep them around.

Workers just got done laying fiber-optic in my neighborhood. If it’s more than $65 I’m currently paying for AT&T, I’m not switching.

Whoa, selling things for more than you bought them more is how you make a profit? Who knew???
Point is, nobody goes there to buy a shirt. I just don't see how they sell enough to cover costs. Obviously they do, if they've been doing it that long.

I was told that those who had the $65 rate would be grandfathered in for the foreseeable future. Of course, how long that is could be anyone’s guess, but it did make me more optimistic about them.

I actually just signed up a month or so ago and got in at the $65 a month price point. The sales rep said that they were raising their prices to around the $100 mark. Not that it helps, but it does seem like this was a planned thing. I honestly think the speeds justify the $100 and that $65 is a freaking steal.

I will gladly give up my guns as soon as every criminal gives up theirs. And that includes the tyrannical government.
