For the long timers and high earners, it's not what you know but how you b!0w that keeps you around. Otherwise, Halliworld doesn't value knowledge. It is a house of bean counters at the top, finding ways to cook the books. For the young contractors thinking they will get hired on as permanent employees, good luck with that pipe dream. The goal here now is to hire contractors extend their contracts indefinitely and let them go when things turn south. That is one of the cookbook recipes bean counters got memorized in their heads. Maximize profits minimize costs. Not doing more drilling so the only thing left is reduce cost by reducing permanent employees, the higher you get paid the quicker you out the door.
