  1. I worked at a Panel Switching System at ClevOH45. OBT milked the 20s technology there until 1974. Had 45 technicians until 1974. Next year 7. Worked on D1, D2, D3, D4, D5 carrier Cleveland Main. Fortunately, the benefits...medical and pension remained excellent at least until 2000.

  2. Someone decided that it was all about shareholder value. That’s why when you call for customer service you contact someone with a flip chart and no understanding of the English language.

  3. I worked in a Central Office in Cleveland in the 70s. All the underground cable came into the building. A nearby gas station had leaking gasoline storage tanks that migrated into the CO basement. All the management and operators exited the building without notifying the technicians. Where’s OSHA when you need it.
