Prime example of why you burn all of that shit up before you put in your 2 weeks.

Yeah the problem with that is I had so much down time towards the end of the year that I was still getting paid for just sitting home that I thought getting the cash at the tail end would be better lol. Its really not a huge deal. If I broke the contract so be it. I have more than made the money up in just the 3 days I've been at this new job. :cool:Comment

You should've been a Fort Worth police officer... then you could save your days for 30 years and get rich when you retire!Comment

Well things have a way of working themselves out. I just got back from my 5 week hitch out in the Canary Islands, and one of my ex coworkers told me he was quitting. Knowing they were probably in a jam I put the word out that I would have about a month free before my next hitch and was willing to help out with training or installations.
So the president calls me up today and asks me to go up to Fargo and train a customer for 3 days.... at 500 bucks a day plus he made all the flight / hotel / car arrangements on top of that.
It will probably be a recurring thing, too.

Thanks man. I got a demon in me no doubt, but I keep him down in the hole nowadays. I can't get back the lost time and money I threw away a few years back, but I just keep busting ass to make a new life and so far it's working out great.Originally posted by Ruffdaddy View PostComment

No need. Just 1 day of the rate they paid me to go do this job made up for the few days they owed me!Originally posted by Roscoe View PostComment

Not sure what business this guy is in, or how much he gets paid, but PTO can be a big paycheck in my business.. I know where I work we are allowed to hold up to 800 hours pto, and with making $100+ an hour that is a BIG pay check..."No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms.

Not required to pay any of it out maybe, but that's a sign of a shit company to me.
800 hours of PTO, gees.Originally posted by MR EDDComment

Well I only had a few days of PTO coming to me. it really wasn't worth arguing the point with them. And the end result is I left on excellent terms, and now they are more than happy to pay me a very good day rate to go out and take care of jobs for them on a contract basis. & I still have my oil rig job. I just don't have to go to my next hitch until April the 16th. so really I got no complaints!Last edited by 93LXHORSE; 03-15-2015, 10:01 AM.Comment

Post your experience working there and how you rate them on Glassdoor.com, maybe give someone else a heads up who is looking to work there.Comment

Yeah I never seen that much, I hover around 200ish. Most engineers and people and my field are hermits and never do anything, have any friends to speak of, etc.Originally posted by ceyko View Post"No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms.
