See what happens
GE selling more BKR
Does GE believe BKR stock tops at $25???? April was gruesome for BKR. GE negotiated for $1B BKR stock sell off. GE still owns 25%. Looks like BKR is lining up for day trader dream stock. I expect ebbs and flows for the rest of 2021. BKR leadership... — read more

Baker Hughes - who’s ur harraser? Painted outside OFS building.
Promotions & Bonuses
Just to settle the one uppers. No bonuses. Promotions are merely title changes. Folks are moving around to keep a job. Anything outside of this is just nonsense and should not be taken seriously. The business will continue to shrink... — read more
What does Quarterly statement mean
Means Financial health and position of a company. Bakers quarterly statement means two screwed up companies merged, and both sides are pointing the finger while the whole thing gets flushed down the toilet. Simply the nicest way to put it. — read more

Q1 results
I’m surprised someone hasn’t already commented on the quarterly results. I'm not at all optimistic about what will happen next, but I don't worry so much anymore if I get laid off because I'll finally get some relief. I'll just drop this here:... — read more

One problem rooted from GE leadership culture
The GE leadership culture did not respect the uniqueness of mid-level engineer managers, who have expertise in one or a few special areas. After loss of so many domain experts, BKR's (sudden) fall in the future won't be surpprised. Here’s... — read more
Real vacation is only when you get out of here
The only real vacation would be to get out of here. It has become very exhausting to work here. When I took a vacation, it wasn’t really a vacation at all because I had a bunch of work to finish before I left, and all the time I was thinking... — read more
They could take better care of us?
I think BH had the opportunity to take much better care of its employees during the turbulent period than it did. A virus pandemic, climate change and the like are not enough reason for a company not to take care of its employees like some other... — read more
Attracting talent
Is this company still capable of attracting talent at all? I do not believe that there are talented people who would agree to come to BH now because there are many companies that offer much better conditions. If by any chance I was looking for a... — read more
Rehire in the USA - Baker doesn't want you
I heard the other day since December Baker has an unwritten policy for former employees who recently got a package in the USA that a) they won't rehire you b) they won't pay you to consult. If this is true and can be validated, Baker could get their... — read more

Shout out to all participants in the Thaines .5 k run at the weekend.
Much appreciated by the local community during these still trying times.
It’s just one big mess
There was a time that a degree and experience, people skills, and character meant something. The proof of just how bad things are in the open job requisitions. When in the history of BHI did you ever recall reading a job requirement calling for an... — read more
More layoffs coming

Chevron
What is going on with Chevron and bkr at the moment? Not looking great is it?
Subsets within departments
Anyone that had been with BH or GE long enough knows about the subsets within each and every department. These hiring managers placed their people around them as buffers as a form of protection for their job. Oftentimes the people they have are... — read more

What's happening with Wireline at Rankin? Coming back from vacation so not sure what might I expect.
Consolidating Businesses ?????
The unimaginable has become ordinary. And what was once known by all to be resolved is now irreversibly broken. Plausible deniability is all that remains. But you knew better!
Middle managers are strangling the company
They're trying to keep control over their shrinking piece of turf while their employees shake their heads and run for the exits. HR needs to track turnover for managers. It might help them pull out the bad weeds.
Celle Layoffs
To be finalized on 03/22. 125 left voluntarily. 100 to be let go forcefully.

The experience was shown the door, the key employees that have been waiting to be promoted or at the minimum provided a career path (any hope) have decided to walk and find employment elsewhere. At this rate, no one, and I mean no one, even notices... — read more
