When the installer who works for Dish came to my house Friday he said they work 365 days a year. The reason it was discussed is because the temperature was over 100 degrees. I said even Christmas and he said yes. He said it was usually a light schedule and if no one schedules an appointment they do noy have to work. I was very surprised. Personally I would really think about it before I chose a holiday. Temperature over 100 was really bad.
I have to say that I am impressed. To find people that will do installs on major US holiday for our convenience is just above and beyond when they could be spending time with their families. How many of us would really want to give up those precious days off?
Thank you Dish Installers!!

Cable around here, NOT.
Around here you have to sit home and take time off while they come in the 3rd hour of a four hour window.
I always love hearing: "I can't believe you guys work on holidays"
Typical response: "It's because of people like you that.......ASK US TO!"

We will not make our installers work on holidays, even though they tells us they will. That's just not our style of business.
While the postal service does not deliver on holidays, the mail is still sorted and transported on holidays.
:up:up
Good for you. Don't shop on holidays either. That only supports the insanity.
Go to direct tv and that way dish will have one less pissed off customer and their satisfaction rating will go up so they can brag about it.
I've never worried about holidays in my jobs. I take days off when I want them, not when the government decides I should want them.

fiachra- they are not working out of convenience for the customer (a few may) but are working because if they do not they will lose their jobs. bossman says your working, thats all there is to it. you think all the workers in the call center at dish want to be there too? nope, im sure their bosses make them answer the phone when they would rather have the holiday off.
I would not ask anyone to come and install a sat dish on a holiday. that is work for dish to even schedule installs on holidays.
That is true. A lot of behind the scenes stuff happens at the postal service on holidays.

Can I assume this was made from a Dish Network insider?
I'm aware of that. My comment was not about the postal service. It was about workers acting out as was demonstrated by a previous poster. If they don't want the job and what comes with it they should find something else to do. The solution is simple. My 'Postal' comment was probably crass and for that I apologize.
Yes, it really is about the customer's convenience. When a business is dependent upon subscribers it is all about the customer. Never forget the big picture.
I had DISH Network installed on Thursday 07/02. The receiver went bad two hours after the install. Long story short...the original installer returned on the Holiday & replaced the receiver. I was very surprised he was working that day (drizzle rain as well) and definitely happy with his courteous & professional service. Those guys are the "front line" for the company. They're DISH Network to the subscribers and I hope DISH Network realizes that.
I had been told over the phone that I wouldn't get another service call until Monday 07/06 and I wasn't very happy with that, but the installer saved that frustration.

If people simply declined to have a tech at their home on a holiday, the techs would have the day off by default.
most of the holiday work is usually people that don't believe in that holiday. christmas is a traditional religious holiday here but there are people that worship other gods and simply do not care about Jesus' birthday or even the associated commercialism accompanying it. It also means many techs have to put up that beast 500+ dish on the holiday installs.

Oh please! Christmas hasn't been a "religious holiday" in about 100 years now. All it is and has been for a very long time now is a commerical/retail holiday of which Dish, Direct, Comcrap, and the rest of them fall under.
