It’s simple really.. I want more money each year because of ‘Inflation’
My cost of living goes up pretty much every year.. So my compensation has to rise as well.. If my cost of living was the same as 10 yrs back I wouldn’t need a payrise..
ROV companies increase their hire-out rates if the market will stand it and if it won’t they try to reduce costs by cutting into what they have to pay crew..
In the long run it’s cheaper to hire experienced and motivated crew.. Getting some ‘bodies’ in cos they are cheap doesn’t say much for a companies commitment to quality or safety’
Padding out the crew with trainees, or pushing guys up the promotion ladder to soon but paying them less than the going rate are all shonky business practices and go completely against the ‘nothing is more important than safety and quality’ mantra that most companies expouse..
After all which plumbing co would you use ? The one with time served qualified plumbers or the one using cheap wetback labour ?
You pays ya money.. The day your ‘trainee’ Supv looses your sub the ‘expensive’ experienced guys dayrate will suddenly look cheap ..
