I'm a procurement manager for a construction company building underground bunkers...

I'll try to make a long story short. I think this is of interest. I'm a procurement manager for a construction company which builds underground bunkers for high net worth clients. This past week, a caravan of large luxury SUV's pull up to the job site unannounced and completely unexpected as this site is a private location job site and you can understand that secrecy to its location is top priority. Even clients do not have knowledge to the exact location until AFTER completion and a series of steps are reached.

In any event, I later discover the caravan is carrying a group of various "executives," from all sorts of big companies, from rival US banks to home construction companies to insurance companies. Ok, no biggie as we all have heard big names tossed about of clients and well, only high net worth individuals can afford the bunkers anyways (For example, one big wig at a health insurance company is paying $120 million for his exclusive luxury bunker. His library desk alone is a custom made piece inlaid with gold, and gems. It's been confirmed that it cost $300,000 and there is more on the way!)

Anyways, they stay for a few hours and quietly get driven off to wherever they call home or office.

The following day, a company wide conference call is ordered and the topic is completion dates. Now, all the contracts state we have until April 30th to complete this key project and the bosses have been very easy on us... until this call! NOW we are being told to have everything completed before January 20th! We're talking a full 3 months early!

First of all, there is almost no way we can accomplish this. Our suppliers can't even provide the materials we need in time let alone the manpower to install them. We're being told to do whatever it takes to get this done including custom manufacturing. They are willing to pay double time rates for anything over 40 hours per week and large 15% bonuses for those who work through the holiday season. This is unprecedented for this very conservatively run company.

Secondly, why the big rush? I can understand a two week push but pushing three months early completion out of a schedule already delayed by Hurricane Sandy is next to impossible. We have big projects all over the country and apparently they are in the same boat and nowhere near completing this by the 20th of Jan.

Thirdly, why were these clients allowed to see the project's location before completion? What has changed?

Fourthly, as December 21st obviously has no bearing on this project and has never been mentioned by anyone here, I can't see anything out of the ordinary that would make this such a top priority.

I personally don't believe in any of that end of the world stuff so its ironic that I work for this company but it's great money and I'll take it while it lasts! Enjoy!

maybe?

as an electrician by trade dead lines can suck eggs they mean nothing and I even laugh at project managers pushing clipboards with pens that can't swing a hammer!

Nothing going on here folks move along

Just something to throw in the debate, I don't know if the OP is full of shit or not, but there is somewhat of a confirmation of this by a more reliable source.

James Wesley Rawles, the famous survival expert and author, is also a retreat consultant. In a recent interview on Oct 18 on a radio show from Austin Texas that was whoring for money (I can't mention the name or I will be banned), he stated that almost all his clients are from the banking industry, most of them hedge fund managers. He said he has never had these type of customers in the past, and that he has had more in the last 6 months than in the last 5 years. He also stated that they are preparing for economic collapse soon by buying survival retreats and safe houses. Just thought I would throw that out there.

What's the timeline for the asteroid to pass near Earth?

Enjoy what?

Enjoy!

This is all bullshit. lmfao

"They" told you to make it happen. Let me tell you how emergencies work with the wealthy.... they make it happen. Materials are things they bring in if you can't.

OP is a liar and not in the construction industry.

You're a fucking master of science civil engineering and believe that stuff?

And you are scientifically educated?

Jesus christ the world is FUCKED.

I believe the OP is full of B.S.
He opened his account one hour before he posted. I think he is an existing GLP member who opened another account to write this story and play with your mind.lol

pics.. link or GTFO

Be advised Ancient Kings would have their construction workers and Engineers PUT TO DEATH following the completion of their "secret burial chambers".

We're not just ordinary "carpenters" and everyone has to meet certain requirements. More than you'll ever know. That said, the clients will know the final location once the project is complete but not before. At least that is what the company policy was until recently.

I highly doubt we will meet the new completion target date. I can't see that target being met even with using alternative and secondary suppliers with the quantities we need. Many materials are not even available until mid January. We will see.

I'll be sure to let you know if I know anything else.

Let's think about this.

If the original finish time was April, but has been brought forward to Jan, what forecast would become more accurate the closer we get to that date?

Certainly not a comet or asteroid, as trajectories would be well established - certainly without a three month margin of error. Anything which was due to impact soon after the 20th of January would now be visible - fact.

Sun activity cannot be forecast so accurately in advance either. Neither can seismic activity.

So let's assume that it's not a huge disaster that'll wipe everyone out apart from those underground; let's assume it's a hiding place.

So what's the most likely scenario? Total global economic collapse & war. The dollar is screwed. The Euro is screwed. The Asian tiger economies are built on sand. The Middle East looks as if it could kick off big style.

Totally do not believe you are a procurement manager of a job like this. The security clearance you would have to have, would never allow to be so foolish as to post all this info. I'm calling your bluff. Fiction !!

Unless, you have no clue, and you think no one would know you are posting all this. If that's the case fyi, better look for another job, and hope you don't get detained.

OP I call bullshit unless you reveal the location of such said bunkers.

hmmmn,all these hotels underground,but let workers know locations,i wonder who thier new servants will be? some usefull slaves they accidently locked underground? or gassed them so there's no gossip in a warzone.
