Petrotrin refinery shut down

[kstt]

^^^ did you see the payslip that was circulating online?

Do you consider that as well paid?


ANYONE GET PAID THIS WEEK?

We usually get paid on Wednesday or Thursday. NOTHING YET!!

My thoughts remain 10,15,20 year as a temporary worker is a choice.

Were they contributing to a plan?

I see where you are getting at.

They would not be able to contribute to the pension plan.

Lets hope they have some sort of savings put aside.

I saw what he was getting at as well..

Does the question of contributing to a plan influence whether or not temps get some form of severance package?

so this is what I was getting at. Being real, any extended period of time in an organisation without attempting to elevate yourself in any form, is on you. I won't dispute that. But to take that 'hard luck' approach, is inhumane. Especially when the PM and other minions said that no one would leave empty-handed. There is no ambiguity there, but then again, shame on me for believing a politician, right?

As Pointman-IA said, I hope they have some savings. And yes, business is business, but to those who support that callous and possibly even spiteful move and rejoice in the face of yet another unemployed member of our society, I genuinely hope that you never have to suffer in any form.

Manager like rain

This is what's best for the country. It's a surefire way to prevent the haemorrhaging that the Company was formerly experiencing. I love my Trinidadian brethren, you know.

$45,000 average total compensation package: 'Wey, wickedness yes!! Greedy tf!! Shut it tf down!! Not my taxpayer's dollars at all!!'
$240,000 basic pay; exclusive of medical, housing, travel, entertainment, etc, for one man: 'Well, you know, we have to pay the best, if we want the best and he is the CEO and he have experience all over the world, you know nah. Rowley and them know what they doing'.

Mind you, his basic salary for a year, is more than the profit Heritage intends to make in said year, according to Allyson West. Trinidadians for ya.

What makes people think there are temps that didnt elevate themselves?
They get upgraded if work is of a certain standard and they have a certain qualification.
Have many temps I know started small business on the side.
I can call some name of some companies that are owned by men from there. Those werent temps tho.

A number of temps have their masters.

If you’re one of the temps and you voted PNM then it good for you. You’re part of the problem.

@1) joshie.....i have never rejoiced at any ones misfortune.....but they were paid for their services....very well it seems..and enjoyed the pros of working as a temp at Petrotrin.
I just do not think they are victims.

@alfa...2)is in fair to give someone something for nothing?
Would it be fair to deny those who DID contribute and made the sacrifice?

So who's would you all calculate a temps package?

1) Funny how you defended yourself for that part, as though it fell in your garden. It's also funny how that's the only part you chose to respond to. Typical.

2) LOL @ 'is it fair to give something for nothing'..I'm sure Mr. Chyau Lin thinks differently. But of course, you'll bypass that part too.
So it made it a little bigger, for better viewing.

Anyhow, it's the 30th. I heard there won't be an evening or night shift, so there are only 8 more hours for the taxpayers of this country to be under duress. As of 4:00 this evening, everything will be ok. Petrotrin employees will be out of our hair and we/the Treasury can breathe a sigh of relief, as we delete this thread. Great is the PNM.

best thing you cud do is make a home forge and turn it into solid 1 kg bricks. and store it.
other metals can be sold as scrap.

Context for those of us who unaware what we supposed to be looking at

[toyolink]

Well the pain and uncertainty felt many is real and cannot be over-looked.
This is where the social responsibility come into direct confrontation with what is considered good business sense in the capitalist program.
History has demonstrated that what is to follow is a possibly high risk period of instability.

Dem PNM who fight to put dem in powa better fight to get their severance.

Doh worry, $ 50 ham easing the burden...

[sMASH]

There will be some new jobs where some will be rehired. But still many will be displaced...
Those excess will be looking outside for employment.
Cause the the cake gets smaller for the small folk to share.

[Numb3r4]

The PNM is not to blame here, remember that.

It was Espinet and Espinet alone who did this.


Great is the PNM and it shall prevail.

sun shining... heavy shower across the refinery at the moment....
masking the tears, and the injustice
