This is but a normal and very predictable cycle in the oil industry. Y’all worried about your cushy jobs should have prepared better.

Vacation

I have 6 weeks of vacation. Anyone knows what happens to it if I don’t take and/or if I take all of it now before I EOI?

Who is in charge of this mess? The unprepared few.

There is a very small group running this mess and convincing leaders they know what they’re doing. Of course ES surrounds himself with brown nosers who don’t actually know what they’re doing and walk around with a chip - meanwhile McKinsey makes... — read more
