it should be law, 2 weeks on 1 week off as a minimum.

There are about 4 FIFO jobs advertised for every supervisor FIFO job. On average a supervisor job supervises 15 workers. Hence there is far more demand for supervisors. A good supervisor is worth so much to a company that it is economical to offer them short rosters. Few people are capable of being a good supervisor and among those who are capable, few of them are willing to be a supervisor. Stress is one of the leading causes of cancer.

Dud u drive bus in fifo

I have no family and literally not a single friend. I am from Croatia and really looking into a fifo program. Wi

Who else came from Flinders?😁

I did it for a year, most depressing job there is.

Has it really changed

Start young. Work hard. Save. Then finish up. Sorted.

I’ve been DIDO(drive) for almost 25 years in underground Qld coal mine’s choosing to live near the coast it’s not for sooks if you can’t hack it don’t do it. Simple. I’ve been lucky enough to only ever be 2-2.5hrs drive from home at each pit. The time apart every second week is what’s kept us close over the years.

It’s an option, you don’t like it, don’t do it. Dont blame someone else. Take some responsibility.

What a croc of poo, I've worked FIFO for near 15 years no one has ever put a gun to my head to make me stay. The thing about a lot of FIFO workers is that they are low I.Q bottom of the gene pool type of people who get to live a lifestyle that people from their socioeconomic backgrounds could only dream of, If it weren't for FIFO they would be on the dole or maybe pushing trollies at Woolworth's. So they get themselves in debt and trap themselves. Moral of story if you don't like it, don't do it - Toughen up princess.

Lots of good people fought the good fight to create conditions to avoid these problems, but you lot pissed them all up against the wall for the mighty dollar. Reap what you sew.

Harden up or don't go into that job simple

Do you get paid for your time off

Done for FIFO for 35 years and all it does is fuks your life !

wonder why people go to fifo when they already have kids or wife, u should do it in ur 20s. people act dumb then regret it for all their lives lol

The sad music makes this even more dumb…looks like he just hasn’t taken care of himself period…people value what they value, but to me it seems like mental and physical health is what’s scarce…

I done 2 years at Wheatstone on the 28/7 roster. Now suffer panic attacks from fatigue which I never experienced before. And it's 7 years later!

Unfortunately with the cost of living people have no choice but to work fifo next week Monday i start my first day as a Electrical trade assist i fear this will be my future 😢

I've seen a lot of yacht crew have similar problems... many that I've known over the years have ended up homeless on the street, picking up ciggy butts off the pavement to smoke or becoming fentanyl addicts...

working in cell towers ive been out of town for a week or 2 and been gone for over 90 days across the country.. but im single with no kids so i love it

I did fifo ive seen men say they get to see more of the family that way,i said give it 5-10 yrs when your worn out,kids left home,ask yaself what ya missed out on by chasing the $$$$

Oh yes.... really your job as supervisor in mining so i listen you say 28 day on and 7 day off.where your mining area and where you from sir,,?

Years spent doing dido foundation industry drilling piles to ventilation shafts for underground mines roster was 6 weeks on 3 days off if you were lucky,however if the job only had a few more weeks you would stay until finished. Best advice make good money and keep it and don't piss it up against a wall "keep more of what you make and make more of what you keep " as with every year it gets harder

Would suit my ex well ..she could have lots of guys to cheat with and she didn't give a crap about how the family felt.. ..yer she'd love it ..

I've been doing FIFO for some 6 years now, 4/2 , 2/1 etc and yes , you lose one day travel going over , one coming home, so on a 2/1 roster there's not much family time to be had at home , the majority of your life is spent in 50 degree heat doing 12 hr shifts for awesome pay , no matter how many gyms , tennis courts or councillors they throw at the problem, in 10 years time the only people that will remember that you've worked every new years eve , christmas and birthday will be your family ! Great lifestyle for a young unattached person to safe up money quickly, as long as you don't spend it all on toys and get too used to it or stay in too long as all your friends are likely to move on and get married leaving you wealthy but lonely

Your dead right!, I wasn’t but losing the family side of things is wat cost the most😢

People get used to the money and spending it with no plan 😂😂😂 I make 300k before tax and am smart with it and have a plan cause it’s not a fucking lifestyle I’ll tell you that 🥴

Money is your time. Money takes away some of your stresses but equally creates the same amount, if not more stresses. Your time/care/energy are your true values and gifts whilst in this physical consciousness experience we are having. Both money and time run out very quickly if squandered. FIFO's may get paid well but it comes at a huge cost of personal connected consciousness experiences that they lose when away from what/who matters to them the most.

FIFO has been the biggest disaster for Australia, it creates so many problems and the only winner is the company, I was against it from the start and still against it, refused to do it, spend 8 1/2 years working for BHP in W.A. and spent every night laying beside my wife. The unions and workforce are mislead if they believe it to be beneficial. 1) How many marriages have ended because of FIFO, 2) How many men feel like an intruder in their own home during R&R, 3) It causes dual economies in cities like Perth, 4) It doesnt allow towns like Pt Hedland and Karratha to grow into Cities that they should have been already 5) A lot of the FIFO workers are from interstate, so their wages arent even spent in the state that they work in.

that's the problem, people are willing to do it for the money. don't do it. simple. I earn $45 per hour 40hr week at home. My brother bragged he was earning over $100 p/h. Lost his family (estranged) and permanently disabled from a stroke. he loved the fucking money at the time, let me tell you.

Nobody puts a gun to your head & forces you to do FIFO.

Workers: We need a better schedule that allows us to have time with our loved ones Boss: How about a phone number you can call so you can get some breathing techniques?

When I started mining it was 12 weeks on, 1 week off, drive yourself in and out, my record was 19 weeks straight, over the years the swings got shorter, 8/1, 7/1, 6/1 4/1, got a 2/1 site mid 90s , which was rare then so stayed there for 3.5 years :), my last roster was mainly 2/2 which was the best roster for me :) was definitely a single blokes game in the earlier days, you would be queued up for the payphone and hearing blokes getting divorced over the phone. huge money though compared to today

Look i will be honest, i have done it for 5 years now. I enjoy the 2:2 roster. But this lifestyle isnt for everyone. You do sacrifice to get paid well and support your family. But thats what you have to do

This video gave me serious negative mental health and if you took mental health seriously you would take this video down

Racisist

Hahaha this is gay

im only 6 years in the industry leading hand, no wife or kids. And tbh I love it, its made for some not most. I get to job down the track from camp aswell and dunk in the river, or we have a pub on site. I don't mind it my swing is 23 on 5 off

Oh, please! Secular humanist Socialism is responsible for HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS of human deaths in LESS than a century, and counting, along with untold suffering and economic destruction. Unions have destroyed more businesses in Oz than cyclone Tracy.

Did a year in the Pilbara/Kimberly on road construction. Two weeks on, one off. The heat, which got to 40 +, 70 on the road. The conditions alone were enough to cause a meltdown, not to mention the cowboys on site. After witnessing my crew leader get hit and killed by an lv on site, I quit. No amount of money is worth your life.

I did oil and gas 10 years. Used to get on a lot of flights in a month. Now hardly leave the town i live in or home. Cant stand be on a plane for more than 2 hours like once a year

I spent 7 years in mine work, fifo or dido and thought I was doing the right thing but now after be separated for 3 and a half years and nothing to show for it. I've missed more of my children's birthdays and special occasions than I would care to remember, all i have left is a broken marriage and broken relationships with my children, the money is never worth that.

Piss off…try doing 25 years at the tip of the spear in the military…for a fraction of the pay these people get…with none of the other benefits like the luxurious “camps” they get to live in whilst away. Deployed to hazardous & very dangerous places, or away from families & friends when back in country because you are not based where your family lives. There is a high risk of personal injury whether training for operations or whilst conducting operations. Soft civvies. You make choices in life, you were rewarded handsomely for it too.

Hows this on utube???????

Can't handle it? Don't do it!

I’m a labourer in a gold mine. My roster is 2 on 2 off (weeks) and 2 weeks annual leave. I work 24 weeks a year. I have no complaints

Its just modern day slavery when you realize that the money you borrowed from the banks was actually created out of thin air with your own signature created the digits on the screen. The bank doesn't take any money from any account to give it to you. You sign the surety to pay back the created money with interest which usually takes most of your life to pay it back if you're lucky. So that adds up to slavery 101.

Its a fkn job not a jail sentence, you can leave anytime and go home to your family. Not worth necking yourself over at all.
