Called ipsl today. Turns out they actively doing interviews for some vacancies and a GIT program. Neither of which were advertised. If you ain't know people in the company it's good advice to call HR every two weeks to enquire.

they losing more and more ppl to cgcl. they trying to save face right now. they calling back ppl they sent home over the last 2 years through retrenchments. thats probably why they didn't advertise. they already have a list of potential candidates.

[eitech]

Yea they tryin to play like everything normal but as a good source told me, they panicking right now

[DreamWeaver]

when you dont treat your workers well, they will obviously want to leave. their management philosophy is the reason why they should panic continuously. a good management team doesnt go to another company and tell them not to hire their employees. a good management team provides incentives to keep their employees motivated and working for them. those jokers only terrorizing their employees through fears of retrenchments, warning letters and suspensions. nobody wants that kind of environment to work in.

I used to work in a Pt Lisas company.
Their management style was just as you described above. They kept lossing staff by bullying ppl. Their idea was that there was 10 guys waiting to fill your post and county in a recession. It cost them in Long run to train staff. They exploted new staff by underpaying them and forever extending their training contracts. New staff was treated the worst, older staff feared better.

The management ran the company on hearsay and rumours. News carrying was norm. Office staff was family run where members was related to each other or some government Minster relative or friend. I guess most places are like that in Trini now

It is very sad that we the people of trinidad now treat this type of employer-employee relations as the new norm. We should be standing up and demanding more from these multimillion dollar companies (local and foreign) that only exploit their employees so that they can make 200% and 300% profits even in these hard times. Too much of a union is a bad thing (e.g. Petrotrin's current state) but no union is also a bad thing (e.g. ipsl). There needs to be a middle ground where both can benefit because it is obvious you cannot let one control the other without favoritism

I wonder how far they reach in calling back retrenched workers. Just waiting for that call! Yesterday I pass and it was looking like a ghost town.

Nu-Iron has no union, and look at them compared to Mittal. You can join any union of your choice and receive representation by them no matter where you work. It is your right as a citizen.

I worked at mittal years ago and was a member of that union. After some time I realised that the union was filled with individuals that were empire builders. They ran side line contracting services with Mittal and only saw about themselves. Worst of all they were linked to the PNM and promoted it . There was also covert racism in that union.

On the other hand I also worked on the estate with non union companies and it was just as worst.
Those companies ran on hearsay and rumours. Vicmisation was the norm. It's was a friends and family circle. Promotions was based on years service and yes men rather than merit and education.

All my years of working in trinidad I can't say I enjoyed it. I leaned fast that it is not wise to stay in any one company. Best is to spend 3 to 5 years and observe that working environment. If the company has not improved your working condition via pay or promotion then it's time to move on.

Hey guys, serious question here;

I got some information that Petrotrin has vacancies for their police department; does anyone here work in Petrotrin and can verify this? I'm interested in seeking employment anywhere, but my current place of work. If anyone can confirm this, and point me in the direction of who to email a résumé to, it would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

I believe this 1500 would be mainly admin staff right? Not essential services like police and fire...
