Vent: The Alaska job last summer was a total mess from start to finish

I still get mad when I remember that dredge contract up in Alaska. The company sent us to a spot with ice melt runoff that clogged the pumps every other day. One time, we had to shut down for a week because a bear got too close to the fuel tanks. The living quarters were so bad, we had to sleep in shifts because of leaks. If you ever get a job like that, insist on better housing and wildlife plans upfront. Honestly, I think some bosses just see remote jobs as a way to cut corners. Next time, I'm asking for double pay or walking away.
