Almost all of our customers have either called or written me a letter (that's going to all their vendors) asking me to look at lowering their rates during this time.

I gotta be honest with you, as someone who doesn't make a whole lot of money it kinda feels good to hear that overpaid oilfield workers are getting a dose of reality.



WHY? DOES HIS TAKING A PAY CUT GIVE YOU A PAY RAISE?

I will never understand the class warfare, petty, chicken shite, jealousy of people like you for those who out-earn you. Is your world a zero sum existence? If I get Monday off, does that mean you have to work an extra Monday? If I have a jacked up Ford F250, does that mean you can't own one?
WTF is wrong with you? Other than you are apparently a poor, underachieving, petty individual.

I still got my bonus on my last paycheck. Haven't heard too much about layoffs with my company yet. I heard the drug tests for the field and shop personnel have noticeably increased though .

I never have to worry about getting a pay cut at my job. I either got a job or I dont. No in between. Sometimes reduced hours are offered when times are slow but that doesn't last long usually.
