Yes it is and the biggest problem is overtime which they are looking to cut asap. Hence the hiring but as been evident by this government the more poor people it has the better

[jcrew]

A pardner in the union is saying the report identifies more managers than workers. Saying the company too heavy. Plenty expats who being paid in forex and the money not staying with T&T. Guess we have to wait and see.

Hi, how long after you submitted your documents for verification did Petro call you to do the exam? And how many days after doing the exam did they call you for the interview? This info might help everyone who's waiting for a call have an idea as to when they can expect feedback (if any)!

I would never listen to the union. I, together with alot of people got retrenched from a private company because of union involvement. They are a bunch of idiots with a political agenda, the vast majority of companies they bargain for are state run companies. Mass privatisation by the state means.... the unions will be dead!

It hit the media that petrotrin's salaries is one of its biggest expense, and it needs to become more efficient... so they are laying the groundwork for some 'restructuring'.

Subcontractors working on petrotrin's compound are bound to pay petrotrin's labour rates. I used to joke that I would gladly take the job of a labourer in petrotrin.... plenty money and little to no responsibility!

nope pal. not saying that at all.

alot would make statements that they will work as cleaners/labourers in petrotrin while they sit in their ac room by a desk and chair and type that. but that type of work is very physically demanding and down right messy.

but all they hear is these people have no work and get paid big money......

[tr1ad]

When the oil price drop low all the decorative plants was removed from inside the offices because they were being rented. Next 2 week new plants appeared. And every day a person in a jacket suit and tie does come with a watering can and water it.

Can someone please post the current labour rates for Petrotrin. Back in 2009, a labourer was earning as much as a welder in a private company (around $34/hr i think) and they were still juicing overtime. Workers in these 24hr run plants arrange to stay home when their shift starts on a holiday so their co-worker will benefit from the double time rate. Petrotrin is the most inefficient company in Trinidad and Tobago and even though the inefficiency may start at the head, it certainly will not stop there.

Take a look here to see how their labour rates measure up against other energy service companies

True but as the saying goes monkey see monkey do

[Joshie23]

i) Workers in these 24hr run plants arrange to stay home when their shift starts on a holiday so their co-worker will benefit from the double time rate.
ii) Petrotrin is the most inefficient company in Trinidad and Tobago and even though the inefficiency may start at the head, it certainly will not stop there.

Do you have any factual evidence to substantiate both these claims? You know, it irks me to see people bad talk the Petrotrins and bad talk the ALNGs and bad talk the BPs when as I said before some of their biggest occupational hazards is probably a paper cut or the shivers from their air conditioned offices being too cold and even still, I'd bet my last dollar that should such a company post an advertisement hiring in whatever their area of expertise is, they'd apply. Further to that, should they receive an offer of employment, they'd never ask for a lower salary or worse yet they'd never decline and say 'No thanks, I personally think employees of _____ company are overpaid and lazy and I'd much rather sit at home and continue to bad talk you all over social media where no one knows my name or sees my face.'
