[QUOTE=rshrew;83024]What about slow times? If pensions were offered and it was slow are you stuck not working to save your pension? (I’ve never worked the gulf just an outsiders question)[/QUOTE]
After the DWH incident there were some lay offs from a few companies,(I don’t want to throw out names because that will start a war) most like the one I work for asked for volunteers to go even time, or forced people to go even time. As long as enough people did that, there were no lay offs. The GOM companies seem to be a little better about things like that, than a big corporation. Just my opinion.
Personally I lost a little time during the ordeal but I never got laid off. Once again that should be a benefit of being a long term employee, is to get to work when the green guys are sitting at home.
Just my 2 cents again.
