OES Asset Integrity Management Reviews

1. Long hours/working weekend more often than not but to be expected in the oil and gas industry

Originally was told that all earnings are tax free (which is a lie you have to pay tax) we was also told you would earn 5k pay rise each 6 month review which was also a lie. You are told you will work 6 weeks on (occasionally 7) and have 3 weeks off this is also a lie as sometimes you are sent home early on purpose only for the office to bring you back out within the first week of being at home. You CANNOT plan any family life as there is no structure to OES' rotation You are given two booked leaves but if you save one for christmas (even if you have worked the previous one ) it will be taken away from you and wasted. Dodgy deals will be made with the office favourites or the backside lickers leaving the people with genuine leave time behind and having to pick up the slack Blamed the downturn on terrible paycuts yet every other company out there was paying at least double OES wages, point was proven the moment I left OES to work for another company. Office staff try to bully you into doing longer hitches for free, if you quote the conrtact that you signed when starting up you are then told its no longer valid or that we don't work to that deal any more (whether the boss knows this or not... I don't know) If you are not a yes man, stand your ground and try to work what you signed up for you are then dealt with like a naughty child and the office put you on bad jobs and try to make you do longer hitches by lying to you. Your are forced into jobs you are neither ready or trained for by the office staff. The UK pod don't listen to you or answer calls when needed, If you are not a yes man then you are threatened with your job The US pod's equipment is all unsafe or have no certification to back it up... which is ironic considering its a Inspection company. The Dubai pod expect you to be some sort of delivery service bringing equipment back from the UK to Dubai. You're called on your time off and made to go back to work early
