Jealousy from people with a degree residing within a 50k a year cubicle.

Down vote away you pissants.

Chicken knows how to take care of us. We are compensated more than enough to not qualify for stimulus.

Get pissed at anyone still having a job. Hell everyone else is below you. You picked the perfect career to live your lifestyle. Everyone else is dealing with a pandemic that has shut down every industry but yours.

Thanks Chicken I volunteered to try and keep some semblance of organization.

I can see your point I guess. Truancy, becoming a teen father and a few drug possession charges can make a guy turn to the Patch when life deals a bad card.

Why all the hate for oil field baws?


Because people get jealous of folks. I have a lot of friends in oil, all good guys and hard working. Not my kind of work or life style, but they do it well. Times are tough and I feel for them. Never felt jealous of them in good or bad times.

I understand the disdain for Pitbulls, school teachers, Democrats, travel ball baseball, etc.


I am a teacher. Never understood the disdain of us. Some are bad, like any occupation, but that is what it is. Some perks are great some are not. I think there is balance in the life and that many folks dont understand the negatives and just constantly focus on Summers off and other aspects.

But this is how the plants get you. They hire you on and within two years they got you by the balls. Making over 100k, get the new truck, the new house, the high maintenance/keep up with the jones' lil wifey and you're done. Then she spits out a couple kids and the plant grip gets tighter on your nutsack.
What they don't tell you is the toll the shift work will take on you and your family as you age. Believe me, there's a reason plant jobs pay so much. Did it 32 years and was lucky to get out at 50. It was not a hard decision after my kids were out of my pocket and they merged with another company while taking away our retirement insurance I was counting on at 55. I try to talk people out of doing it more than anything. Big sacrifices.

I've never said anything negative about them - but their love of high gas prices and shouting down those celebrating low gas prices is tiresome and comes across as very selfish.

I would imagine that's part of the stigma.

bullshite.

Every tard poster here has penis envy.

Each and every one of them are hoping and wishing for some sort of government giveaway. Wait it doesn’t fit their persona. Let me continue to act like everyone needs to act like me.

We are tough guys. (Next thread) what are you doing with your stimulus money?

I'd bet most hotel managers, car dealers and home builders don't enjoy rock bottom prices in their industries either

Who hates oil field workers?

No hate though.

Show me an O&G worker who lives within his means and saves a ton because he recognizes the never ending boom and bust of the market and I will applaud him.

Show me a dude who buys a house, F250, travel ball, six kids lifestyle going into debt and living check to check who whines every time the bottom drops out of oil and I will throw shade on him.
