Being in a large contractor, that's what we get a lot of the time and a lot of pointless requests as well.

But being in a contractor firm does have several advantages especially if they're big and you've stayed long enough. WFT and Halli constantly move their employees around for training and cross section experience. So you're never really tied in to one project, get to travel, make a lot of connections and learn a lot.

Contractors are one of the best places to start off your career if you want to rise the ranks fast.

Don't worry about being unexperienced, if anything happens just blame the contractor for being sneaky tongue.gif

WFT you mean wetehrford?, if yes then man they stopped doing it long time. now its a cutthroat thing between dept. staffs movement is seen as other dept trying to whisk/steal their personnel, not growth/progression. sad.gif

Not so long lah, up until late 2012 they were still sending people around and back to Texas for training.

But under their new APAC management who are ex-Schlumberger, they're now cutting costs and counting profit per employee and telling employees under the old contract to bugger off while hiring new people who will accept the new terms.

They called me up and offered me a 2/1 roster with a package of 100k dollars a year and on 12 hour days about 2 months back. But no completions bonus, 2 weeks off a year only and no health cover. Wasn't a good deal.

well the new guys pon suffer. that ex slb you know who is really pain in the back. and plus now they are laying off 7k world wide.

Rilex and chill. You should do crazy things on the platform (not harmful and must be after work) to relief your stress like what I did long time ago, huhu. You guys can watch it here:
