re: How much are plant operators at the LNG plants making per hour?

Strong men provide in abundance and raise their family--you can do both. If you choose to only work 36-40 hours a week then that's on you.
The guys working these crazy overtime hours aren't absent fathers. They are working a 12 hour night shift commuting an hour each way and then fully functioning on 2-3 hours sleep helping get kids ready for school, dropping off, picking up, extracurriculars--the whole thing. I work with about 50 of them. It isn't for everyone, definitely sounds like it isn't for you--and that's fine. Jesus still loves you even though you aren't a hard worker.
Look at every great man in American history--they all worked their asses off. It's really what separates America from every other country in the world. We work hard, and we are proud of it. Most of us at least. Trending the other direction these days sadly.

I just don’t have to be a wage slave. I can make a living and use my time to do shite I like, which includes physical shite you could never dream of accomplishing… because you’re working all the time.
Congrats on your F-250 though

That’s fair. Yeah I know guys that have a good situation like you as well, some not as fortunate. I feel like if you aren’t trading off family stuff for OT, then it’s a win win for you for sure.

An experienced engineer at Exxon is beating your best salary
An experienced engineer at Exxon is working for the largest o&g company in the world at 20-30 years of experience and a very high career ceiling within that company. You are pointing out a very small niche, I am comparing two jobs as an entirety.
The average operator along the Mississippi River makes more money than the average engineer in the same area. Yes, it's mostly overtime. But the engineer does not even have that opportunity even if he wanted to work more.

Along with broken family relationships and kids you never see.
Someone told me that wives running around while the husband is working shift work has been the cause of a lot of operators to lose their job.
When its 11PM on a Friday and people are texting them they just saw their wife out and when he text and/or calls she isn't answering, some dudes lose their minds and just up and leave to go find their wife which usually results in them getting fired.

I'm not familiar with any of the specific personalities of TD whatsoever, but I have a feeling you have already been deemed a certified clown.

This definitely happens but not as often as you think. I've heard the same story for years about a guy losing his mind like that out here in the 90s. The stories just get around like wildfire. I'm guessing the same thing often happens to a guy working a 9-5 in a cubicle all day as well.

Let me spell it out for you, you said that your “hard work” (sitting in a control room making sure the needle is in the pizza slice) isn’t for me.
That’s correct, because I make more money than you, don’t have to work shift work, get 5 weeks plus holidays off, get a cash and stock bonus every year, and can work from wherever I want.
So you’re right, being a plant baw ain’t for me

Mingo is the most miserable frick on all of tiger droppings. Look at his post history. It’s kind of sad.

As I always say, I don’t force anyone here to say dumb shite. But that never stops you from getting your panties in a wad when I point it out.
Soft as frick
This is the same operator thread where they tell you they make $50 an hour, then tell you they make $250k a year, and then deny they aren’t shitty husbands and dads that are never home. The equation doesn’t reconcile

I just like a good debate--it's an interesting topic.

It doesn't reconcile because we have established, through you admitting, that you live in a world where great men don't exist.
Some of us live in a world where men accomplish these things that you think cannot be done.

Mingo is the absolute worst.

I’m sober like a week because I can have an adult relationship with alcohol and don’t eat pills. Sorry you didn’t have the acuity to do the same and think you’re a hero for doing the right thing… eventually

This is retarded as it gets. Those dudes operate a process that if goes bad can kill tons of people at the plant and affect the community.
Many also are on ERT and act as first responders for incidents within the plants. Rescuing folks and providing medical attention if things go bad.
I don't work Operations but many of those work hard and absolutely care about others safety in the plant.
