So the boss wants me to provide training to the mopes for level 1 techs dealing with telco stuff. Primarily for when replacing existing PBX systems with VOIP systems and still using POTS to me, level 1 is a mope connecting a phone to a prewired jack. If the jack isnt working and you expect a mope

I'm unfamiliar with the term mopes. Are they low wage, low skill people? One smart, motivated person can probably replace 4 of those. If you figure out how to hire only smart, motivated people just let me know. On 3/17/2015 11:13 AM, That One Guy wrote: So the boss wants me to provide
