This isn’t an easy job. You have to be relentless.

In my personal experience… not very accommodating to women, especially petite women. Uniforms can only be ordered online so there is no way to know if things will fit you correctly. I have ordered so many things that I ultimately couldn’t wear. Our department provides work or winter gloves but I have very small hands and they usually don’t provide anything smaller than medium. I have had the same issue with getting work boots. They have specific details of what we can order and I have experienced either not having anything available in women’s and men’s boots usually are no smaller than 7 which is size 5 for my feet. They have expanded the brand option so that has helped but I’m still limited to one boot brand I can get. Luckily I am satisfied with the boot. There have been promises made that my department would get bonuses once they grouped us with Field Ops (we were under Engineering). It’s been 7 years and still nothing. We now are being graded like the field techs but no incentive like the techs getting bonuses. There are more managers than supervisors it seems and EVERYTHING is micromanaged. Between that and the workload it’s nearly impossible to stay on top of everything do what is required of me. We keep getting more and more tasks pushed to us to manage and there just isn’t enough time in the day or week to get everything done. They don’t allow overtime unless you get permission from management prior which is hard to do because sometimes things get chaotic and you don’t always know if you will need to work over. I have found in other regions that coordinators don’t have to manage permits because they have a department that handles that. We manage that in our area. Also in other regions the coordinator only manages one type of project, like CC Devin handles plant replacement and forced relocates, CC Linda handles all MDU projects, CC Jose handles FTTH projects. My are we do everything. The CC3s handle Enterprise projects, but do SMB, Residential, and plant replacement projects of the BAU CCs are overwhelmed with projects, which we usually are because a lot goes into building an MDU and Greenfield FTTH project, while doing a million other tasks like emails phone calls, messages, texts, TQAs which the company only requires 5 if the projects are under $25k, but BAU (not Enterprise) have to do 10. Some of our projects are over an hour away and some are on an island that takes an hour to drive to catch the ferry, so that’s your whole day. There’s so much more that I can list from material ordering issues to the new project database we are using, both of those take up so much time of the day.
