We had maybe 1 field technician for every state. So like literally 1 technician for all of North and South Carolina. 2 for Alabama/Mississippi/Louisiana. 3 for all of Florida (North, South, Central).
There often isn't an office to go to in your state but we do sell there so we need on-site staff.
Probably an ignorant question but if you go to work 15 hours just to go back to the homeless shelter. Why not just skip the middle man, and just not go to work?
Any company that does that likely uses a company vehicle as company property and demands you live in the specific area.
My old employer did that for our field technicians. You were paid from the second you left your home until you got back. If you had to stay overnight - then they paid for that too.
We hired people all over the US but we only hired people in centralized areas key to our customers. You were NOT allowed to change your home address more than 20 miles without sufficient approval. It would be grounds for termination.
My coworker lived in Alabama, and got some girl pregnant when they had him working in Philadelphia on an all-hands type of emergency . He decided to move to Philly to raise the child. You've no idea the amount of bureaucratic headache it took to stay employed.
if you made money based upon your body, and how it looks (Nothing sexual). The last thing ( I think) you would want to do - is jeopardize that by becoming pregnant.
It permanently alters your body for better, or worse
I would wager that many of us were raised with some basic shared ethical values. Things like “if you break it, you repair, replace, or pay for it” or “if you make a mistake, learn from it and do better.”
You see. That's what I thought but it's become apparent that ~35% of Americans didn't learn these basic values, or if they did - they have chosen to disregard them.
