Different Country, Different Continent, Same Company

Dear H’s Boss,

Thank you for telling H this morning that you want to give him some time to get settled in before sending him offshore. I can’t tell you how much that means to me. I did not however appreciate you telling him this afternoon that you are sending him to a land job next week. For the record, going to a rig less than two weeks after arriving on a new continent is not enough time to settle in. And a land rig that you have to fly to is really no different than a rig offshore.

Yes H, if you’re reading this, I do understand that this is a step up from Qatar where your Boss almost had to pick me up at the airport when I first moved there because you were almost offshore. And Readers, my ticket was purchased two days prior to my departure to time it so that H would be in town.

XOXO,

Anonymous Expat
