Decent Job
Decent planning. Talk to you like a human. Runs are easy and clean work. Units were OK. I enjoyed my time there on the agency and was offered a full time position.

Crawl up to management to get on.
They gave the south Shields staff 4 weeks notice there getting rid of them on the 22nd December.Merry Christmas ladsYour shafted.Management are borne liar's, you have to crawl up their backsides to get a decent job. There's plenty of evidence that the planners are running you bent.

Dårlige ledelse, dårlige arbejdsplads. Aldrig havde jeg oplevet så mange chefer i ledelsen samlet på et skib!
Når ledelse er inkompetence og ligeglade med crew, så alt dårligt. Lange dage, dårlige søvn, træthed, dårlige luft mm
