The garbage bags have been on that pole for at least 6+ months. What will end up happening is what happens every time something like this happens. We call in trouble tickets for months until we can get the issue labeled chronic, then we get a "Class 1 inspection", then they fix it. One issue is that to get it labeled chronic there needs to be three tickets opened within a month. VZ's temp fix often works long enough that we can't get enough tickets in within a month.

Quick hacks happen from time to time to keep things running. Layers upon layers of quick hacks that are never cleaned up (see picture) happen through incompetence. If not on the part of the techs then on the part of the managers who rushed the techs onward to the next task. Always time to do it over, never time to do it right == incompetent.
