Re: Work
Life changing. Well worth the pain of the last few swings. (nod) ^ Precisely this ^ The pain of the last two years since the Sydney Water debacle. I only decided to stay on because of the impending redundancy. But it was like the proverbial carrot on a stick and constantly moving!!! But regardless,...

Re: Work
Thanks guys Yeah totally great news. I’m under “redeployment opportunities consideration” till the end of the month/pay period (which was the rest of my normal break anyway) but it’s just a protocol. It’s already known I won’t redeploy anywhere due, and there are no Santos jobs for me here. So redun...

Re: Work
So this news came out yesterday https://amp.abc.net.au/article/103852218 I got a call later in the day. 10 positions affected offshore, out of around 500 staff on roster. I got a golden ticket. My offshore days are done. Seems my OIM kept his word and secured me a handshake. Still a little in shock.

Re: Work
Everyone makes mistakes, that’s how we learn a lot of the time. You can get a level of leeway with that to a point.
But being deceitful is a terrible trait, and I’d have zero tolerance to it. In the industries I’ve worked in, dishonesty in your job kills people.

Getting home, overnight stop in Adelaide and pushed my 6am Sydney flight back to 9am so having a nice buffet breakfast and relaxed morning and will still be home before everyone gets back from school and work.

Re: What are you doing today ??
As for the redundancy timeframe it’s still the great unknown. So many moving pieces the goal posts are constantly changing. But when I first got back home last time and things had blown up with Byron and his mum, and I realised he wouldn’t be going back to his mums, I actually rang the Field Manage...
