Mining giants are asking their workforce if they can fulfil their duties from home to help ease the fuel shortage pressure facing the sector.
Accordingly, thousands of FIFO workers will be TikToking their daily routines from home with the help of fully kitted out dongas the mining giants have installed in their respective backyards.
We spoke to an industry insider who said it was an elegant solution that meant they would save on fuel but also ensure the important work being done by their staff continues,
“A lot of work on site these days is TikToking to glorify an otherwise fairly brutal lifestyle. Mining companies love it because it makes people think the job is all halo lights and fun. So with a few props and adjustments this work can continue away from site”
We spoke to one FIFO worker who said she was excited to work from home – a concept previously foreign to the job. She told us,
“FIFO from home, that’s the best of every world isn’t it? I think I’ll start making content about my daily routine as a FIFO worker who doesn’t have to leave her house”
Another FIFO worker said he could fulfil his own work obligations from any gym. Adding,
“Yeah I spend most of my time on site in the gym creating thirst traps for some unlucky single mum to fall into and make the biggest mistake of her life, so yeah, I can just do that from Jets I reckon”
The move is expected to boost the bottom line of many mine sites.
