Everyone makes mistakes, that’s how we learn a lot of the time. You can get a level of leeway with that to a point.

But being deceitful is a terrible trait, and I’d have zero tolerance to it. In the industries I’ve worked in, dishonesty in your job kills people.

So this news came out yesterday

https://amp.abc.net.au/article/103852218

I got a call later in the day.

10 positions affected offshore, out of around 500 staff on roster.

I got a golden ticket. My offshore days are done. Seems my OIM kept his word and secured me a handshake.

Still a little in shock.

Great news mate, that must be an amazing feeling after all the shite of the last few years.

Onwards to the new venture then, exciting times.

Thanks guys

Yeah totally great news.

I’m under “redeployment opportunities consideration” till the end of the month/pay period (which was the rest of my normal break anyway) but it’s just a protocol. It’s already known I won’t redeploy anywhere due, and there are no Santos jobs for me here. So redundancy will be effective from 31 May. But also got paid 5 weeks in lieu of notice.

Payout figure was 15% more than I had expected too. Really nice to have that behind me and be able to take a breather and give the business idea a go with something in back up.

Once they all get over me bringing Covid home and infecting them, they probably will 😂

The pain of the last two years since the Sydney Water debacle. I only decided to stay on because of the impending redundancy. But it was like the proverbial carrot on a stick and constantly moving!!! But regardless, an investment that paid off.
