I agree when a manager making 90+k a month and d workers can't event make 10k

I never knew lng workers were being paid so low..thought it was more

I think it was just a generalization. It most likely is more but the truth still remains that one manager could take a pay/perks cut and save at least one person's job. Likewise for all the managers in one company anywhere.

Correct. Sort of like when it Arcelor Mittal sent home workers, with the highest paid allegedly taking home approximately $18,000 TTD a month and managers (expats) allegedly making around $93,000 USD a month..the disparity is eye-opening.
I always say, becoming and carrying out the duties of managers and the like, is a daunting job most times and the schooling required to get there most times, deserves to be compensated accordingly, but if they take even a 10% salary cut or even cut back on some of the perks received (that, if had to be paid for by the recipient, would be thrown out the window so fast, mind you) it would be amazing to see how many of their subordinates jobs would be saved.

I'm still young but I have leadership aspirations and when I get up there, if the need arises, I'd definitely suggest it. I might be thrown out of the inner circle and looked down on by the 'haves', but it's worth it, to prevent others from becoming 'have nots'.

I agree 100%. I have seen it for myself where while I understand a manager has his ass on the line (usually is the subordinate getting sent home when there is trouble) has worked or been handed his position by daddy and deserves to get compensated but there needs to be a better more substantive distribution of salaries. If it is up to me a entry position in a department should get $8000 and a manager should get the choice between 10% over the entry level position with a few perks not exceeding 1% base salary. And when the company needs to cut salaries or jobs do it from the top down because without the ground workers there won't be a product to give

Well petro said they would have called me in a week after the interview.
That was about three weeks ago. The apprenticeship program starting this month so I probably got blanked already...

Got an email yesterday saying I was not selected for further consideration.

Sorry to hear that. I myself never heard back, not even an email.
I did speak to someone on the inside though, he said basically de union call in they soldiers, so it may not have extra spots for outside men...

[widdyphuck]

Is it advisable going to UTT to do PPO right now or is that area flooded with enough graduates....

[vaiostation]

^^^Dont waste your time right now. They are thousands of people with that same qualification and just sitting home. Probably around 9 years ago it made sense but now it's a waste.
People hear being an operator is easy work just turning a valve and then sit in air condition whole day, so everybody went an do ppo, but now it ain't have no work. I meet plenty people, especially from uwi, who just complete they degree an do ppo after cause them can't get nothing, but they still can't get anything with de ppo.

You better off doing a trade. Check nesc or ytepp...
If I had paid attention to how the job market was changing I would have never even went to utt...

I was looking at the:
Electrical Installation
Draughting and Construction Technician
Fluid Power Equipment Maintenance.

And yes I have a UWI degree but cant get any jobs..Need to move on with life..

I remember about 10 years ago to get a job was the qualification had to be met. Now everyone has the qualifications but no available jobs. Times real change

[widdyphuck]

Anyone with experience answer this.
