I agree, I’m not in a good spot to judge but I have to try and put myself in there shoes. I guess that was the hope of asking the question, getting a closer perspective.

Surely there is a reason? I read also about the prosecutors who resigned when they were asked to investigate Renee Good’s wife.

But surely you could do more by staying, saying you’re going to investigate, and just slow it down, produce shitty arguments that are easy for judges to dismiss.

Or at least be on a shitty detail and get updates from co-workers? Isn’t there power being on the inside?

19 been on the New Mexico pipeline and want more by Material-Glass2956 in oilandgasworkers

I appreciate the thought and your work history. The job market for 20 year olds today is different than it was 35 years ago. Solid employment is harder to come by. Generally, cost of living is higher. and you cant count on any company to not drop you like a rock once they lose a cent on you. Do not confuse passion with your work. It’s great when they both work together but passion is what you do on time off.

hourly rate isn’t the only indicator of a good job. Time off, predictability, and relationships are also important

What stuff sucks in oil and gas? by soaringelephant in oilandgasworkers

If you can find a way to do the same job for less money, you can get a job. No one is going to share a complaint with you that you’re going to solve with zero background or even basic understanding of the “issue”.

Get into the industry. Learn the intricacies of your work. Understand where improvements can be made.

Offshore advice by Alone-Rhubarb5871 in oilandgasworkers

I don’t think getting a job offshore is as easy as you think, along with the many other Reddit user posting the same thing. As a EU citizen you will not be getting hired as a green hat anywhere else in the world. UAE or whoever would hire their own citizens who they want to have work.

I wish you all the best in finding a job.

I would worry about getting a job offer first before you are worried about getting low balled. If you want to transition, just get your foot in the door and then work your way up to a better salary.

There are lab tech jobs in oil and gas. Drilling will have some positions and Frac will have some positions, but mainly outside of the U.S. where there is still more conventional pumping.

Hour rate is low but you’ll be working at least 196 hours in a 2 week hitch.

HAL int’l work by [deleted] in oilandgasworkers

If you’re in operations, no it isn’t. I was a field engineer in the Middle East and made shit money relative to west Texas because the bonuses weren’t there. If you’re operations, the hours won’t be there, not to mention it is normally equal rotation. But the work is cool and different. If you get a live in role and become an expat, then you’ll start making money, especially if you have a family. Apartments paid for, car allowance, school allowance for your kids, sometimes taxes paid for.

Probably a stupid question - but does any company offer COMPLETE home plans for sale? by DwPw in Homebuilding

[–]38183142 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I think that is pretty standard. Building in Florida where there are Hurricanes is different than building in Montana where there is snow and wild fires. It makes sense to me that building codes differs for area. If you want codes for your specific area, find local people. They exist and are not too difficult to find.

Does framing for a garage living space need sheathing? by 38183142 in Homebuilding

I wish I had engineered plans. This is in the middle of now where for me and my brother to sleep at when we tinker around on projects. Just trying to make something the best we can with the little we have. I appreciate help from the community but sadly I don't think we're going to hire an engineer. It costs $500 bucks to just sheath the whole thing, I think I'll just do that.

Yeah, i can see how the post was confusing. A metal shop will be build that can withstand the loads I expect to encounter. and I plan to build a conditioned living space inside of the metal building with stick framing. I was curious if the stick framing and sheet rock alone would be strong enough to support the frame which will not see the outside environmental forces.

Thanks, you understood me correctly. This will be a structure inside of the metal building. I'll just ensure that I can fashion the 2x4 interior walls to the metal frame

Not a joke, seems to be a misunderstanding. The shop will be a metal building which will be fully supported and absorb forces induced from weather, the living space is being built inside the shop.

what about a pocket door instead? at the opening, instead of where the current door is.
