Comcast Cable Worker Falls Asleep On The Job

POSTED: Tuesday, October 10, 2006
UPDATED: 9:31 am EDT October 11, 2006

A Garden City family is questioning Comcast cable after the family said they found one of the company's workers asleep on the job twice.

Misty Maironi said the worker went downstairs to work on her cable. She said he was gone for an hour so she sent her son down to see what he was doing.

The son returned with a picture from his camera phone of the worker asleep on his bed.

Chris Maironis woke up the man. Maironis said the man then proceeded to lay there and fall asleep again.

Comcast Cable apologized and offered this statement, "Comcast has reached out to the customer to apologize for the unsatisfactory experience. We have been in direct contact with the customer and have restored his services to his satisfaction. We obviously do not condone what was represented in the photograph. The individual involved is no longer performing work for Comcast."

Comcast also said the man was a contractor, not an actual Comcast employee.
