Expand The very last time (Libya in 2010) I was given this guy who was really not very clever and had no interest. I knew what was coming and that I had a year at best so I didn't bother and every time they asked me how he was doing I said "Yeh really good" 😂 I don't mind training people but they have to turn up and be interested.

Expand In Azerbaijan, years ago, BP told me that my contract wouldn’t be renewed at the end of the month. The next day they asked me to train up TWO of their permanent staff, from Jamaica, to replace me!😂 I agreed, took the time to find another job while getting paid. Ended up going to Angola, on rotation, with a 66% increase in pay. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Expand Yoshiro, can’t you simply SHUT THE F**K UP! This thread was meant as ‘comic relief’, but as usual, you had to politicize it. Actually, the thread doesn’t apply to you. As the most annoying person on the planet, it is unlikely that you could discern any other annoying person you might encounter.

In this time of social distancing it is imperative that you know where all the holes in the fence are and the back-ways into buildings which avoid the security guys. Expand I don't see the problem.
