There's a
lot of things I should be discussing (or writing) right now ., and I don’t know
where to start.
For the
moment my recent transfer on "watch keeping" duties has lead me to a
grudge between two second officers here. I didn't start any trouble but they
did ., and I'm just defending myself against this kind of people . For now I
can say that im in a long standing feud with them for their psychological
maltreatment I had been receiving to them ., like being shouted and labelled
"Stupid" almost every day, and saying "I should use my
brain" .
Personally
I don’t think it is right to call people like that , and I dislike it. As a
retaliation I'm giving them the "cold treatment" and simply ignores
them.
In other
news .,
Recently me
and O.S. "Pamorada" ., that the contract we signed up here for in UPL
- Shell / Nakilat was deceptive. From what I recall almost six months back .,
we asked the office a number of times on what will be our salary rate for the
job and they repeatedly said that its 1,129 U.S. dollars per month. Now six
months later me and O.S. "Pamora" re read the contract we signed up
for and did the math ., and what we discovered was very disappointing. From the
looks of it ., we were actually just being paid by only 1001 U.S. Dollars per
month and not on what the office said a few months back that’s 1129 U.S.
dollars.
To add more
insult to injury - the 1001 U.S. Dollars we had been receiving for a month does
not include deductions ., Like Social Security , Housing Loan , Health
Insurance , Seafarer Union dues etc. . Overall our apparent guess is that we
had only been making money at around somewhere 800 (minumum) to 900 (maximum)
U.S. Dollars per month.
To simply
say .. UPL - Shell / Nakilat lied to us about our salary scale., and personally
right now I feel I was cheated and being manipulated by this company.
