I'm not surprised to hear the name Halliburton tied to something so twisted. <br /><br />Is there a petition for Equal Opportunity Publications to pull the award?Eliza Tiltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00765731038856226730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6809343867197930371.post-61207244919254012262011-04-09T22:19:22.745-04:002011-04-09T22:19:22.745-04:00Oh, God. Don’t get me started. Any of the big corp...Oh, God. Don’t get me started. Any of the big corporations that send women to dangerous Middle Eastern countries are just cruisin’ for a major bruisin.’ <br /><br />When I worked in Big Awl – based out of Hellston, of course -- I found that energy corporations varied when it came to ethics. Some won’t consider transferring women to Middle Eastern countries – like the small (and now defunct, surprise!) oil & gas I worked for. Some wouldn’t send married men with families; others would let married men go overseas, but families remain stateside. Others, like my EX-Ex-Ex!!!-husband’s company, for which I would have had to work, was all too willing to plant both of us in Saudi. <br /><br />(I could also mention that the hazard pay that goes along with these positions is well in the seven digits for some of these employees. Hence, the lure.) <br /><br />I’m amazed that people are surprised this happens, given where the corporation is headquartered and where the actual transgression took place. This is Hellston we’re talking about. It has its own little playbook that we in the Bowl of Blue cannot figure out.Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17964273930628647763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6809343867197930371.post-81042266038727339602011-04-09T13:00:51.686-04:002011-04-09T13:00:51.686-04:00This is so a mind-f***ing, batshit crazy-evil, it&...This is so a mind-f***ing, batshit crazy-evil, it's hard to get your brain around it.
