out of work again

Sorry to hear about you getting laid off, Waiting for you to get home typical sorry lo life big companies that take advantage of the hard working tax paying little man. Then you have to drive a couple hundred miles back to get your tools. (SUCKS) I am sorry, but I have kept this bottled up for quiet some time. I am on your heels, I have worked in the oilfield 40 years, 36 with the same company, almost 7 out of country and have seen my salary shrink 35% in the last year, not including bonus. And what really takes the cake is this year the company started taking 15% off the top of my salary for what they call BIK tax, in which they at one time paid. What this company I work for calls you into the office and gives you walking papers or offers you a position on another facility if open, but like you I would have to drive hours just for something they can in my case tell me over the phone. Sorry for being so long winded. SPL HOPE THINGS WORK OUT FOR YOU

Not just the oil industry. My pay and benefits have been cut over 30 percent since the crash. I now make hourly what I made 21 years ago. America is on a bad path and needs to change fast.
