off shore the mood is terrible.
last trip i did – we(as in the whole crew) got a roasting off the OIM at safety meeting for giving the chef crap for being shit.
Then went on to talk about how the chefs budget was being cut further – anyone slagging him off on the back of it would be subject to disaplinerys……
mate sent me a photo last night of what looked like a tea bag roll for tab nabs at 10.30 – it was a bacon roll from morning break reserved) telling me of having to pay to call home again and such like.
As far as my work – things seem to be picking up (lower completions) to a degreee – how ever they are tenders won on the race to the bottom so feeling the pinch in terms of tools and personel allocated to the projects
Im being pushed onto an international contract on rotation to keep working or risk redundancy proceedings – as thats where the work is – the good news is although the regions a bit pants as far as terms of work its going to be back on the tools rather than applications/paperwork/meetings
celebrating every month we get a pay cheque/i dont punch someone but i cant see either lasting for ever tbh.
significant numbers of my mates have been laid off though of late.
