And sadly, I was not the only person who experienced his workplace violence when trying to enforce compliance. Upper management and HR are aware of his terrifying explosions in the workplace, they chose to just move him around within the company. They know chances are slim that DCAA will audit a firm fixed price bid, so they allow him to bully people around so he can submit a non-compliant bid.

Don’t count on Fluor to do anything to stop abuse. They will lie and do whatever it takes to shut someone up, including slandering anyone associated with the person they want to leave. I had a manager literally yelling in my face, screaming at me because I wouldn’t do something that compromised compliance. He slandered my reputation when I complained. He is still there, I am not. I lost a great deal of money as a result of being railroaded out of the company.

I had a guy from NASA was from(Turkey) in a MWR/office on camp Span and he showed me his forearm from the T.B. test and it was as big as a walnut I quick undid my laptop and left and to think we need to work around them (TCN’S) and share a tent with them without them being checked out than we got 10 in are tent from Nepal and a smell that came off them would make you puke so we made sure they washed up the shower was on the back side of the tent . They got washed up and they were easy to get along with once cleaned up and not a bad bunch of guy’s it helped that the other American with me was their Boss .It was far different in Bagram while in transit the whole bunch were loud and dirty never mind the whole transit area looked like a homeless shelter under a highway

Yeah, a friend of mine told me the exact same thing about the 450 man tents; I am baffled that Fluor would even consider mixing expats with TCN’s. Thanks for the feedback.

There is no comprehensible reason why people should be living in tents in Afghanistan after so long. I just come down to Fluor not caring about it’s employees. I lived in a tent with 450 people of all nationalities with some of them getting up to unspeakable things in bed a night. I had to get up in the night on many occasions and separate them as there were people sharing the same bed and having same gender sex. This was happening right next to me and when I tried to get it stopped I was told that “it is there culture” and we cannot stop it. That is BS but Fluor just did not care. KBR did their best to get hooches for all of there people.

I have only heard the Supervisors and Managers are. Usually it starts at the top then trickles down. I have many friends in Afghanistan right now. And one of them stays in a 80 man tent some speak english and some don’t its dirty and smelly. But having 80 guys in one tent that is alot of smelly feet and stuff. Butyou gotta do what you have to do until they complete the process. Its kinda hard when Pakistan shuts routes down and our government overspends in all the wrong places. So good luck on getting a hooch. F.O.B’s definately a tent, Big major bases ?????

I worked on Logcap III for nearly 3 years with KBR; I lived in a tent for the first year when I was at Al Asad, and then the remainder of my time there, I was in a nice comfy hooch in Mosul (Camp Marez H-4). My cousin has done 2 tours in Afghanistan, and he swears that there are Fluor employees living in containers there. Can anyone verify this; I’ve heard that it is nothing but tent living.

Yes you said all bad tings about FN;s but I don’t care because we know who we are.

Second- where did you saw alcohol in Base? I newer saw it and I was on project 4 years.

Third-When ever we had a drog test guess who feld- you guys not FN’s, I aw jit whit my own eyes. So don’t tell me some things…..

Fourth- did you ever pass a war- WE BALNKANS DID! About US troops I can just say GOD BLESS THEM WHERE EVER THEY ARE but about USA contractors, go back to regular school first. Stop talking that you have schools and certificates, in my country will never accept online, so that is the reason why you are so against us, and that mean that you have a huge problem. We will always have a job every where in the world because recruiters recognize our skills, not online certificates………..please stop for a while becase you don;t have any argument. You are just JEALOUS

Nobody says nothing against Maericans but your comments are all the time against FN-s no matter are they Bosnians, Kosovars or British. They are FN’S and for you means that there is no space for them in your comapnies. Look bellow yours and Fred comments and you will see!

You know what, I am sick of FN’s acting like they all have these rights that our U.S. contractors and troops don’t. Tell me how it is that there are FN’s banging their bosses, bringing alcohol onto base, drinking in bunkers, offices, and God knows where else. yes there are bad apples everywhere. Regardless of their origin. But you know the opportunity for the foreign national’s is there to better themselves, and some are. But it’s infuriating to see how they can take numerous breaks on a 12 hour shift, they manage to talk about the US in the midst of a US base, about how they hate Americans. When we have troops and spouses who are in the middle of things over there and are lucky to get 5 or 100 minutes to talk to their families. And it’s just getting worse. Did you wonder why Bosnians, macedonians, etc, aren’t allowed to do certain things? Or have certain things….I believe it’s a safety and production issue.

Yes Dave you are right about that. While I was working in HR they asked me several tjimes for help, to spell for them theyr names or to filll out forms, because I guess they didn;t now to read or write. How sad but they are not FN’S so it is good to go!
