I expect it was the same for most O&G companies.

Almost everyone I know in O&G was making money hand over fist, bonuses, ‘flex days’ and the like in the good times. I don’t know a single public employee whose ever received a bonus or a free day off (those pricks who call in sick aren’t specific to unions).
And again, not getting a raise that matches inflation is the exact same as a pay cut of the same rate as inflation.
And, if these OG forms were able to get by after all the layoffs, I’d have to wonder how many of those rolls were excessive? I sure as #### believe the public sector can trim a fair amount of fat, but that is in every single organization I know of. The difference is big boses in private firms get to still buy their flash cars while blaming layoffs on the economy. A well off private manager is considered successful, a well off public manager is considered a fat cat due for a boot...I just can’t quite understand the logic.
