A fly-in fly out worker has exposed the seedy underbelly of her six-figure job after sharing a disturbing note her male colleague had left behind for her.
Isabella said she had only been in the job for a few weeks, but a co-woeker managed to find her room and slide under her door a note addressed to the 'new girl'.
She said she 'was warned about strange people on site' but admitted she was 'not prepared for this' when signing up for the job.
In a video, which has attracted almost 80,000 views on TikTok, Isabella decided to share what was written on the piece of paper.
'If you want a free vape in exchange for a little something, let me know,' she read.

Isabella asked how the workmate managed to get her room number and 'why you write like a f**king child' after taking a closer look at his handwriting.
'If this is the FIFO lifestyle, I don't know if I want it,' she said.
Other female FIFO workers revealed they had also been targetted by creepy behaviour.
'Girl I've had this happen to me 3 times in 3 years of working FIFO,' one wrote.
'Wait till you start finding random boxers in YOUR washing machine from people tryna send a message.'
'Yup! I know all about those! Exchange for a little something something hahaha! Part of FIFO life,' another added.
'If you're at the camp I think you're at, I've had so many creepy things happen to me there as well,' a third wrote.
Many called the note 'disrespectful' and urged Isabella to report it to HR to prevent any further unwelcome contact from the man.
According to job site Talent, the average FIFO worker in Australia earns $112,500 a year.
Salaries can vary from $92,717 to $168,899 a year depending on experience.

Western Australia conducted an inquiry into sexual harassment of women in the mining industry in 2022.
The state's minister for resources, Madeleine King, said the results were 'shocking'.
Women made up around 17 percent of the 302,600 workers in the mining sector but accounted for 74 per cent of people who reported sexual harassment at work.
The WA Parliament's Community Development and Justice Standing Committee conducted an investigation and more than two dozen recommendations to make FIFO safer for women.
A more recent report found the mining industry 'appears to have made progress 'covert forms' of sexual harassment like misogyny 'remain high'.
Jordan Wilson, a drill fitter in WA, said mine sites across the state had a lot issues dealing with unruly men before alcohol limits were imposed in 2022.
He explained that a lot of people would get very drunk and start causing problems.
'Whether it's having their music playing all night, or parties or getting into fights, or causing damage...that used to happen a lot on every mine site,' he told Yahoo.
