Politics 101.  You pays your money, you gets your rewards.

Actually, you would be surprised how well they can do on knowledge
tests.  They're not allowed to do quality work because that may take
15 minutes longer and cut into the manager's bonus.

You're head is in the wrong direction.  Most ADT guys can't spell
American District Telegraph.

You're a Texan and am embarrassed? Must be from Austin, the rest don't
give a hoot or holler.  And you need to check their stock prices.  Do
you actually think a stockholder gives a rat's ass about how they make
their money?  If they did, they would sell.

Head in the wrong spot again.  There are a few with NICET3 and at
least one with a NICET4 within the system, but they're not allowed
around the production guys.  The commercial section should be up and
running, and as long as ADT can still pull it off with the talent they
have, Brinks can do it too.

Not working for Brinks.  They're afraid of the liability and what they
could lose.

Agree!
