... The decadence in that industry in this city is just mind-blowing. Something I'll never understand.

Pretty sure that's not an O&G thing, but rather a unique story about a 'couple of idiots in suits' thing. Sure Oil and Gas employees generally make more than their counterparts in other industries, but it's not like your Ferrari is waiting for you in the underground parking when you sign on.
EDIT: I read that post again, and it would make sense to me from the context of a party being held at Flames central that had a minimum amount negotiated with the venue to secure their reservation and then inviting you guys in to partake when it became appaerent they were not going to reach that minimum. If that was the context then I've seen something similar to that before.
