re: Why all the hate for oil field baws?

Plant operators and the roughnecks will always catch the hate because of their income, regardless if they’re good people or intelligent people they are ultimately low class, uneducated and economically retarded to the majority of this board.

Well to be fair, many bring it on themselves, especially roughnecks. Operators have a bad reputation only on this board because most here don't really understand what it is they do etc and just assume that the dumbass from down the street that is an outside operator is representative of operators as a whole. Just like people assume roughnecks represent the O&G worker working off kaliste saloon lol.

Much of it is jealousy though and lack of understanding these jobs. Some of it is though jackasses coming on here bragging and not mentioning the 800 hours of overtime they work.
