The last fortune 50 company I worked for before starting my own business. Financial services industry, corporate pharma, etc


You're absolutely lying. Gibe the names. I worked 3 separate Fortune 100 companies and none provided that crap. We all had to pay for healthcare.

The argument is that all this thread does is attack people that work at the plant, when most every day jobs don't provide the same perks.

answer is plenty of white collar industries do just that with fully funded FSA/HSAs annually.


Name them. What industry pays the premium and contributes the max HSA/FSA amount for its employees.

They don't.
I have worked in a ton. How many pay your insurance premiums for the entire family and have no deduct insurance with $1000 max OOO. I'll hang up and listen.

Douche.
By the way, wife just had a baby. Was $75,000. Since the plant pays my insurance premiums and its such high quality insurance, I paid literally nothing. Bill was $0.00.

That's probably the highest quality benefit I ever experienced my whole career.

Just plant things I guess.

Reading this thread confirmed I'm not wasting any time getting reaquainted with this garbage homo show.

This is retarded as it gets. Those dudes operate a process that if goes bad can kill tons of people at the plant and affect the community.

Many also are on ERT and act as first responders for incidents within the plants. Rescuing folks and providing medical attention if things go bad.

I don't work Operations but many of those work hard and absolutely care about others safety in the plant.

Congrats on your nearly 1000 hours of overtime


That's nothing. When I was at one plant we had one ole baw who had nearly 3000 hours overtime. Couple others with 2500. Pretty much worked 6-7 days a week and 16 hours a day.

We can debate whether thats legit or sleep time but I know for a fact he made over 300K a year. Think he was a machinist or something.

Not heresay either. Seen the OT reports.
LOL. I don't really care if you believe me. There is a reason people are driving down to Cheniere, Cameron, Venture, etc.

It's not for $140K and a reach around.

You aren’t making $100+ an hour anywhere in a plant, 


You have no idea what you're talking about. I work 40 hours a week and I, along with many many others down the hall make that.
quote:

didnt make excuses a long time ago and went to college. I make a lot more than $50 an hour and don’t have to work at a plant


I have an undergraduate, graduate and work in a plant. I do pretty dang good.

Say what you will but you won't find the same level of benefits and pay in the US outside maybe big tech. Then you still have a sky high COL.

If you're knocking down $200-250K in south LA while working at "the plant" its is a much better living than 97% of people.
You're full of it and making excuses. I make the drive a hour each way and have 3 small children and my wife works. Stop making excuses because you're scared, lazy or couldn't get hired.
quote:

heard Venture starts off around $60 an hour and you can move up past $75 an hour quickly.


This is partially true. Top end figure is exaggerated unless they're the lead. CP1 or PQ operator should have no problems making $150K.
Mine are 4, 2 and newborn.

Its been a whine cry fest all day.

I can't stand whining either. My 2 yr old throw a tantrum basically all day.
I watched the teaser. I don't think its very good. Seems like a dark uninspiring mess.

Matt Damon? Good grief.
Grandfather. We been lost since. Family never gets together really. Then it's kind of awkward. Nobody really commits to ever showing up.
I work hard. I'm not wearing another man's clothes. Judge it, hate it, whatever.

A lot of people don't get that he's playing up the cockiness to play a character. He seems like a good dude once all the acting is done.


All boxing is just a work outside the ring. Their entire purpose is to juice their fight and their brand, which leads to major paydays.

The fact a Jake Paul fight had a purse of a $180MM tells you how absurdly good he has been at.the branding and melodrama.

Guy should just quit now before he becomes mash potatoes.
Glad he got beat. Sad he got hurt as bad as he did.
