Only good when the mining industry is booming - Cost Officer BHP Employee Review

Things start to go sour when the iron ore prices started to drop and they started shutting down mines and cutting projects. There were too many contractors and staff when there were simply not enough active projects to work with. The lack of workload resulted in people pretending to be busy or feeling dissatisfied and unmotivated at work. It was a bad decision for management to keep the overpaid contractors on for too long while the permanent employees are running out of things to do in the office and feeling frustrated.
