Update: As of Oct 2024, I accepted a risky job with a large and well-known (in the tower/construction industry) company. I deemed it risky because the branch I would be reporting to at least weekly is 100 miles from my home. I agreed to such a feat because 1. I want to climb towers again and 2. it was also agreed I would be gone for an average of week trips. What I didn't know about the company is how terribly disorganized and inconsistent with communications they are. I also was not forewarned I would be subject to non-related filler work when tower work isn't available. So I spent the beginning of my new position doing menial labor install signs on the ground for a business. I was told there was plenty of that type of work while in the crew. I could not justify driving 100 miles one way to do menial labor work since I onboarded exclusively to be a tower technician, of which ai was re-certified via the company's training division. I felt I needed to make a quick executive decision before potentially wasting anymore gas money and time on the road, so I very reluctantly told the branch manager I would turn in my company gear. I am at a stage in life and career where I am very serious about what I set out to do. I am a professional and a technician in two fields- Auto mechanic and cell equipment structures and technology. I am furthermore fervent about responsible, reliable, and integrity in communication. No company is perfect, but there needs to be consistency with communication and organization. To confirm my new lack of trust with them, I found the worst google review number that I have ever seen with any large or small company. I have returned my gear and updated my newly acquired re-certifications...and ready to roll. capt Make it Happen

If not then all that the individual can be (at best) is a dangerous (due to the nature of what we're handling) technician (to illustrate simple mastery of a protocol-driven (even if complex) system).
