Is there any industry more arrogant and hypocritical than the oil industry?

Act like they're the only industry on earth. These are people who preach "pick yourself up by the bootstraps" to those less fortunate, but when it happens to them (every 5 years) it's the end of the world. I'm sick of it and ready for Louisiana to grow out of it (we won't). Here's a hard to swallow pill, no one gives a frick that your industry is down especially in today's times.

Did your wife leave you for someone with an F-250 King Ranch with truck nuts?

Chicken really needs to put a post restriction on starting new threads. Won't save us from Oweo, but it's a start.

I've spent a good bit of time in the industry
Met a lot of good people
But the people that try to make themselves sound like war heroes because they work offshore are annoying
Or the people that act like HUET training is some act of bravery

You should probably move to another city so oil baws will stop banging your old lady.

They are incredibly arrogant. See the other thread where they are getting ripped apart.
They would happily have Americans pay $400 billion dollars more a year for inefficiencies that they feel entitled to and truly believe that Americans have no other useful ways to spend that money.
Having said that, the entertainment industry is worse, just on a smaller scale.

If you stopped and realized how many products are made by petroleum, you might have a different attitude. And no, I no longer work in that industry.

Think oil is worse because they think they do some nobel job that no one else can. At least in Hollywood you have to be talented. The Facebook posts I've seen in regards to oil being down have led me to vent my frustrations here, anonymously.

Peep where I'm from baw, I'm well versed in the industry. That isn't the point of my post.

I worked in upstream Oil and Gas.
I GTFO because who knew when next downturn would occur.
I kinda agree that they should know damn well the industry is volatile AF.
However, many companies such as Exxon and Shell are integrated and chemical and refining projects get cut too as prices dump.
Upstream Oil and Gas is an important strategic industry for our nation.
But, like nurses, they shouldn't think they are special.
