The What's Pi$$Ing You Off Thread

That's an issue effecting a lot of younger/newer to the industry guys. The boom generated the impression that the resource sector is stable and "jobs for life" nothing could be further from the truth.

 

The reason it has traditionally paid more than other industries is due to instability so companies had to pay more to attract people from lower paying but more stable roles.

It's not just the resource industry though. People are absolutely retarded if they think they're gonna be on fifo wages their whole lives as a sparky. I'm definitely not one of them, I live well within my means. I'd love to go drop some coin getting my car to 600hp while im on this kinda money but I'm not going to cos it's stupid.

I've worked in domestic and commercial construction in Perth and iron ore and now gas. Everything has dropped right off even domestic construction. My favorite industry is really commercial construction but it's actually pretty difficult to get a job on a decent project nowadays

Yeahhhhhh the fact that I have a degree that centred around the mining industry is pretty scary, I gotta be honest. I'm really regretting blowing all the money I did over the last 5 years, would be in such a better position had I been smarter and saved bulk coin. May end up having to utilise my Finance degree, but the idea of having to compete for an entree level job I've got no experience in is also worrying...

Also, that blows about having your hours cut @MurdoK...although, as you say, at least you managed to keep your job.

[MurdoK]

Yeah cheers stripes.I can still get by no problems.plenty of wastage I can cut from my budget.

I said it before and ill say it again it pisses me off seeing people lose jobs or the uncertainty in there job and the stress it creates.

Downsize...your helmet

 

 

ololololololol

 

 

 

seriously though

 

 

...burnouts

 

 

 

also I'm glad I seem to be in a stable job...you never know though.  If a major client of ours who happens to be tied closely to the resources sector went under we'd feel the pinch and have to lose a staff member.  I'd like to think it wouldn't be me as I do a good job and I'm not the newest staffer...but there's no guarantees.  IT moving to cloud will change the landscape a fair amount in the coming years.  Good old Australia slow internet stops it happening sooner.

Time and a place for doing things with a tune. Can always organise another skidpan day.... "hey Marco" lol. 

This can be arranged if there is enough interest, especially for those that haven't do the performance day.

once they have done the performance day, they can then do the tune day as well.

 

Hands up people....

 

 

WPMO??

Loose bolt on turbo = cracked housing?

got a quote to fix the issue with two different turbos and bill does not fit my budget........

How long can I drive the car like this ffs......     ;"(

[k31th]

Practically indefinitely... It just won't make full power/boost if the housing is actually cracked enough to leak. It also might be noisier.
