i love it too. I've been living the dream for years with no end in sight. Still looks pretty damn good from where I'm sitting.
But the whole income jealousy thing is worn out. frick all these poor people and their "I don't make much money" shite. Well then get off of your underachieving arse and go make more money. Problem solved.

most probably hate Obama and align themselves with wanting to see the middle class succeed.

Preach.
Not my fault they wanted to be a mailman and I wanted to be in O&G.

Free enterprise is amazing and the cornerstone of America...until it affects the oil industry.

WHY? DOES HIS TAKING A PAY CUT GIVE YOU A PAY RAISE?
Idiots like that have the zero game mentality. It sucks because they'll never get too far in life with that line of thought.
Back to topic-Get my wage review next week but all I can do is 4% max at my level. 14% bonus gets paid out next month though.
I'm an O&G a-hole for any of you that are hoping to hear doom and gloom.

Day rate reduced 12% 2 weeks ago, salary still solid though.
Lay offs are coming...

you know I've never heard an O&G worker rejoice when hearing about someone losing their job. I've heard them bitch about safety men, company men, and worthless assholes they work with- but never saw them happy about others employment misfortune(s). Probably why I like the industry. No Occupy Wall Street types in it.

It doesn't give me shite but I'm not going to feel sorry for someone who is overpaid getting a paycut.

How do you know they are over paid?

i would hope so. You don't make enough money to own a $40-$50K pick up truck. Why does the fact that the O&G worker does bother you so much?

I just got a raise to 200k base plus my commission plan increased and I do not have a degree. Also paid off all our debt this year. Also happy to report that I am always being recruited for new opportunities.
And I am dumb as a bag of rocks and my spelling/grammar is bad.
I guess your life sucks.

Just got the best job of my career, supplying stuff to people in O&G.
Corporate is investing in our office too, no layoffs here.

Thought I was getting called in to be laid off...was given the choice to take severance, or transfer out to the field (I had been in design for a few years, and trying to get out into the field since).
Got a pretty good bump in my pay as well, but I'm just excited to be running tools instead of designing them on paper.
To all you talking shite about "overpaid O&G trash"
To anyone laid off
hoping this turns around and you all find something very soon
