The job was t&m but the client had a budget and only wanted pay up to a certain price .

Ernie the techs are paid by the hour and are paid the same if there At the shop or out in the field.

Basically the techs feel if they go over budget They will catch heat but If they leave And little things like soMe wires have labels written with a sharpie instead of the P-touch in the rack They will get in trouble.
