With CV-19 O&G anticipate another 30,000 UK jobs going, from about 150,000.
Life in general and in business can be a bitch, sh1te happens. Nobody owes anyone else a job for life.
Please stop blaming each other or the business. Prepare yourselves as best you can for your own sake and that of your families
Yes but not many of the O&G workers had to shell out thousands getting themselves a licence.
Not many steel workers were under continuous assessment or indeed have the responsibility of a pilot.
Oil and Gas workers were able to move to different contracts. It’s part of the job which every oil worker knows is transitional.
Have a bit of thought for these professional people who are about to lose everything.
