Why do dual career couples in the Permian both receive the uplift but when on an expat assignment they are not allowed to double dip on COLA similar benefits to offset location cost?

Why do expats in the Woodlands have their kids sent to private school paid for by the company while those in the Permian get no help with the pathetic excuse of a schooling system in Midland and Carlsbad?

When is an HC10 article coming out? Would do wonders for our public image to have an article describing how we are offshoring all our jobs. Where are the investigative reporters when you need them?

With all the toxic leaders we have it is obvious to me the reward system is very very broken. The impact you have on others should be a key factor in pay, promotions, and performance evaluations. Too many times I see how results are achieved ignored... — read more
