Standard procedure for the oil patch, unfortunately. LOL Unless you work onshore in the office like wot I do these days. I am up in Aberdeen doing a weeks course this coming week. What used to annoy me was if we didnt get paid to do courses in our time off.
I was in "the oil patch" for 22 years and never did a course on my break. Only one survival thingy.....
I see. Small oil patch. I noticed that a lot of drilling contractor staff had to do heaps of courses in their time off but got paid extra dosh for it. On the flip side, I used to deliver courses full time to my previous employers workforce and they too took courses in their time off the rig but never got paid any extra. It was always a bone of contention between the workforce and management.
We get paid for courses (luckily) but at the following rate: Basic pay (not including any bonuses) / 365 / 12 x 8hr. So we don't get a full days pay for it even though we're giving up leave to sit in a class to listen to death by power point most of the time and not go home to sleep in our own beds! I personally wouldn't work anywhere that didn't pay me for doing something outside of my normal work rota. Basically I want more money for less work!!!
I'm at work so haven't seen it. Good chance gone begging. Be interested to see what Lancaster has to say
Hasn't he got a history of being hard on the english? Seem to remember him refreeing some of our matches in the world cup and him making some very dubious decisions against us. Or am I thinking of someone else?
In my industry it would have been great to get put on some courses now and then, for me it never happened, even although later on I was lucky and often only worked 170 days a year I spent most of the rest of it teaching myself i.e. getting up to speed on new technologies, it was just the nature of the work, if I didn't know what was current then I had nothing to sell. Now that I am back to being a full time employee I have still not been able to stop working in my own time, this employer will invest in the youngsters but assumes that the oldies like me already know everything, in general I do but there are still courses I would like to go on. I do agree though, if my current employer sent me on a course I would expect it to be on his time not mine.
In my best Alf Garnet impression: Aww come on, play the white man!! Wales clearly trounced England AGAIN and you accuse some schizophrenic southseas islander, whose name may or may not be Welsh, of being as bent as a two bob watch! Now last year, you might have had cause to complain as the result wasn't quite so decisive.
What a w****er he is. Still I'm sure most of it was down to englands poor performance however mush I'd like to blame the ref.
I've heard Welshmen complaining about him for spoiling their victory by giving the English an excuse because of his partisanship. And I am sure that someone in a red jersey was pulling that scrum down.
