May have brightened your days up being on the outside of this, pity us in the middle of it. I still dont understand the high support for Connect though, I would give them 2 out 10 for trustworthiness. (NESN rates a 1)
I have been told by 2 Serviceforce agents they are offering 30.00 a job, could it be a case of better the devil u know.No Flipper we were not in any way taking the piss and please don’t take it that way. The point is at least this will clear the air one way or another but for months now loads of people have been banging on about pulling out of NESN.
So, the way I see it you have two options.
Stick with them.
Resign.
Now IMHO you do not currently control your business otherwise you could decide to go with CDSL should you wish or not as the case may be. The way things are you have no choice, therefore you do not control your destiny, you handed that control to JT the second you signed the NESN contract so your only option now is to resign and never let it happen again. If enough do resign then you’re safe as he can’t chase everyone, but then there’s still the results of the meetings today to go which could make life a little easier for you. 😉

Re: LMAO!
No I wasn’t taking the piss either, well only out of JT and his henchmen. Beleve me I have every sympathy for any agent that is caught up in all this. I am still not out of the woods yet, having only just gone passed the three month notice period, but I had an email last week threatening me with the termination clause and that NESN withold the right to use it, even though I KNOW they are or were in breach of contract, which they will not openely admit too.
Anyway, if I was still there I would get out now, the writing has been on the wall for many months, it may be too late if anyone leaves it too much longer. Better to loose a load of calls now than to loose the whole business was my take on it when I decided to terminate, and I’m glad I did TBH.

I do suspect that connections are a load better than NESN, but I really feel there is only 1 body who should be doing this work, and that is Service Force.
You have my sympathies, and I realise you are between the devil & the deep blue sea. See you at a future meeting.
If you really want a laugh, someone called Barbara at NESN phoned our offices today & told us they had some calls for us. They even asked what were our rates. They phoned us twice, 1st time they told us we were agents of theirs, 2nd time they spoke to another girl & tried to pass 4 calls. I wasn’t there but they were told to go away.

Re: LMAO!
Flipper,
You really didn’t think I was going to leave it did you? 😉
Just look at the bomb I’ve just dropped in the legal forum, that should make JT’s day tomorrow I hope. It is the only sensible and honourable way to proceed IMHO but the problem is getting support for the idea from the agents but it’s the only way out of this mess that I can see.
Hope you enjoy the fun. 😀

You know I’ve been thinking about all this, as is my way, and there really is no easy answer to it. Irrespective of what choice you make it’s going to be the wrong one, aka Hobson’s Choice.
So, that leaves you with the math…
If Coverplan is 70{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d} of NESN’s work then when it goes from NESN then they are left with some odds and sods that really aren’t worth having since it’s only some inspection work that’s good and the shite from Cornhill that no other fucker wants.
How are NESN going to retain the network with that? There’s nothing on offer there worth the hassle and certainly not worth signing their contract for with the implications that that brings.
Trust me, they have lost that work, it will not be coming back…ever!
As for the promised work from Cornhill, which is also rumoured to be work ripped off from SF, well let’s just say a chilly spell isn’t forecast in the near future for Beelzebub’s home town. 😉 And really, do you as an SF agent want to do the same work for less money because that’s the only thing JT can offer them as better service is a non-starter.
Do you really think that DSG are going to capitulate to JT and gang? Or D&G, or Cornhill?
No, they’re not.
NESN have pissed off too many people, made too many enemies and really in so far as I can see may well be forced to pull out of whitegoods altogether as the options are shrinking for them day on day. If they continue to piss about they may well find that they are effectively fined by these people to such an extent that they have financial troubles as well, more than they have presently. The danger there is that if you’re still working for them and they do go tits up then you’re gonna get screwed a lot worse than cutting and running now.
So the math is this, what’s worth more to you and your company the 70{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d} or the 30{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d}?
Then factor in the fact that you are not in control of your own business and you have something to work on. Not an easy desicion and I’m very glad I don’t have to face it, but you have to view it with that level of objectivity.
But lest we forget there’s one little thing we all have missed in this crap…
Network DASA!
Do you honestly think that if JT wins this little battle, which I’m damned sure he will not, that he will allow you to do any work for ND? Of course he won’t, he’ll play exactly the same hand again and have you lot like little puppies following him into oblivion if that’s what it takes! Because the contract states that he can and there’s sweet fuck all you can do about it! You signed on, you knew the terms, your responsibility.
