No wonder oil rig workers get paid. This is nuts

[JNew]

when you down bad with no other options these are the type of jobs you take.

and the worse thing is if one of those polls came down and killed one of them, they would have his body cleaned up and back to operations within an hour.

 

[WTFisWallace?]

Few years?lol u do that shyt for that long u might as well stay. Misery would obviously mean nothing to u lol

Got a co-worker who worked on the rigs for bout a year, racked up a over 100k and got tf outta there.

Said they used to give all the black and non-white (mostly Mexican) people the worst & most labor intensive assignments. The illegal Mexicans couldn’t even do shyt if they got injured on the job, they just either had to thug it out or leave.


shyt sound like a come up but hell and a lot of violations. fukk that

Shyt reminds me of when I worked in a car manufacturing factory. My job was to inspect and keep 7 different, big ass robots up and running. When them mfs over heated and malfunctioned, crawling through them waterjacket machines and all that 600 degree metal trying to diagnose and fix the issue was something I never got used to.

A nikka had to wear a blast hood, goggles, a hard hat, fire proof uniform, steel toe boots and thick ass industrial gloves. Felt like I was going to war suiting up to clean them bytches.

Nah I’m all about wearing PPE.

Go for it. Automate that process. I work with robots and I've worked in many industries with robots. You will loose some labor jobs and replace them with engineers on standby and still need hands on deck for technical issues. That's not an easy line of work to automate. I know you were prob being sarcastic tho

You created robots to scam people instead of having to do it yourself. Smart criminal.

I'm sure the U.S. one's have unions that focus on worker safety, working like this without protective gear is crazy.

They do that shyt without safety gear for da sake of machismo.

That isn't what a well-run oil rig actually looks like.

Instead, they're wearing hardhats, vests, protective shirts and pants, boots, and gloves. They're well-spaced apart, they aren't loosening and tightening the pipes while substances are flowing - they're calling out orders in a timely manner and they're keeping the floor free of debris.

I visited a handful of sites for fracking, public utilities, and drilling as a part of my pre-college career program.

This is a massive OSHA violation and a clown show, at best. This is why U.S. drilling companies working internationally are usually overseen by that country's inspectors - this is how you end up with unnecessary death on the worksite.

OSHA is what holds them down - but a lot of them are at-will/contractors and have no union representation.

this is what it should look like

Would you rather be a porn performer or work an oil rig?

Spoiler

Straight porn, of course

 

[Black Mamba]

Get slathered in chemical crehs.

This.
That’s cancer right chea
I almost did it but decided against it cuz of shyt like that

 

[Amerikan Melanin]

I worked with dudes like this when I was doing pipeline work. Some of these CACs love getting dirty. LOVE that shyt. Mud all in their face and hair. Taking off their shirt to get in a hole. Then just pour some water on their hands and face and go eat lunch. Like pigs. Hogs.

I would be working around them and they would always be like damn you don’t like getting dirty huh? fukk NO. I would work just as fast but smarter. I’d be walking around the job site looking like a project manager.

Yeah, they went to trade school, and trade school alone.

and that would still be better than being an unemployed bum with a 200k tax on their head
