New Avatar!!!!!!

**stewie** · June 23rd, 2010, 12:30 AM

Well I had to get a new avatar. It seems a certain somebody (John) doesn't like my avatar so I had to get a new one. That same somebody had a problem with all the facts that we were posting on the northern indiana thread about how he does business . And now that thread is locked. It just goes to show this certain somebody's true colors. I understand Steve's take on this situation and dont blame you for deleting the avatars and locking the thread. I just think its bogus that this certain somebody can not deal with that fact that they have failed as a business leader and they dont want the rest of the locating world to know about it!!! Oh well only 2 more days to deal with this situation and then its off to usic.

Wow......I go away for a couple of weeks and we get 4 new UDICKs sign up at once to pounce on John Cook. Or, we have one new UDICK, with 4 screennames.....I am still undecided on that. Maybe a peek at the IP addresses would clear that mystery up. Now, you fellas play nice, John has been a long-time poster on this forum, where you guys are new, if you are just here to stir up trouble and add nothing of real value to the site you will find yourself gone. Steve is a nice guy with a ton of patience, I however, am not. I take John's side on the whole Indiana mess, as a business owner, you gotta make the best of what you've been given, and make tough and very unpopular decisions on a daily basis. I have never worked for John, but have spoken to him on the telephone a couple of times and can say he's a straight shooter with only the best for his company and it's employees on his mind at all times. Relax on the One Vision rhetoric guys, it only makes you look like a bitter, angry person, that anger and bitterness will get you nowhere in life. It won't get you far here either.

I talked to John the other day and he made two requests. Have the Avatars removed with the OVUS name on them and remove the company e-mail. I agreed to do it. I don't want it to go any further than that.

If you don't like that the avatars were removed (As I said in the PM I sent to each one of you) you can fight that out with John and let me know how it turns out.

That same somebody had a problem with all the facts that we were posting on the northern indiana thread about how he does business

I never mentioned anything about him having a problem. But, when I did talk to him he said that he can take care of himself. He is a big boy.

As far as typing 'One Vision' 'OVUS' or any other variation of One Vision Utility Services I think if you do it in a way that makes others think you represent the company then it is probably unwise. To do it in general conversation I'm sure is okay. There is something called the Fair Use law. I think (am not sure) this law was written just for that purpose.

wow....i hope this doesn't get out of control......John seems to be a nice guy!

Steve,

I dont have any problem with you removing the avatars or locking down the thread. I fully understand the position you are in on this. As for every body else who wants to think that Im just some body who gets on here just to start some shit with John...well your wrong. If you think all I do is wake up every day and set around getting pissed at john you are wrong about that too. My thread about northern indiana was to point out some of the problems that are going on up here. However it blew up when we got the news that we are going to lose our jobs. Say what you want about John...if hes a nice guy then so be it. But I will stand by my feelings and my opinions on him until he shows us other wise. I know he gets on here and sells his self but I mean come on....his company has walked from 3 different contracts in 3 different states and I think people need to here about it. I know if I would have known about the other 2 last year at this time I would have thought twice about giving up my job at usic. I may have went about it the wrong way but i think i have got my point across about onevision and their policies.

**chris** · June 24th, 2010, 07:02 AM

The reason most of us have posted what we have, is to give a heads up to others in our field about companys gettin contracts and saying one thing and doin others. In the end is still your choice to do, but as stewie has pointed, if most would of knew this information a year a go alot would of been different. Now there is info on companys and how they do things so others have something to read and make a choice then. All I know it is time for companys to stop thinkin the guys in the field dont know nuthing. Let us know what is goin on, make us part of things. Nuthing makes a guy mad when ya hear your losein a contract, be told everything is fine, then pow its true. I know all companys do it. I rember last year smp at the time said they was gettin a new contract with nipsco all it needed was to be sign, then next day on the vine onevision is hireing for northern indiana for the nipsco contract. Yes we are confused over here, one email says this, post says that, rumors say something totaly different. ALL companys need to rember one thing, its THE PEOPLE in the field that makes this thing work, treat them right and they will treat you right

I know this was directed toward Steve but I will comment none the less.... it is fair for you to say what you want about this problem that is taking place up that way... and to share your feelings about this subject....most of us will listen and try to see both sides ...but please try in the future to explain what you think both sides are doing (bad or good) and maybe then others that post on here will be a little more sympathetic.....that is only my opinion! we do thank you for sharing with us about what is going on up that way!!!!!

Yahoo.... sounds like your preparing to run for office... heheh

I'm just curious if they were this pissed when USIC lost the contract in the first place. It doesn't take much time in the industry to realize that its a revolving door, when it comes to contracts.

As for Job security......that is almost laughable. Not once have I ever felt secure in a job. Its kinda like the old proverb..... " No matter how hot the chick is, someone is tired of her shit". Ok, its probably not a proverb, but it still holds true. No matter how good of a locator you are, we are all one phone call away from turning in our marking wands.
