I was supposed to start work at NB on Monday, should I just show up? will there be anyone there to give me a badge?

Do you know if 401K can be accessed during this time? How about loans out of 401K.

Anyone think DMC will be going through layoffs anytime soon?

This is a Litmus Test. They will do this to every facility in the future and there will be multiple rounds. That way in 6-9 months when oil starts to rebound they can recover faster. Side effect is lots of people will quit too so win win for them

Anyone have intel on this?

Jeff Miller and the boys in the board probably knew all this was going to happen. The Stock has been dropping because they have been selling off their stock shares like crazy to get enough cash. Now they announce furloughs. It is unclear if... — read more

Heard there was layoffs today, with red folders. Are they done or are more coming?

Has anyone heard anything about DMC and DTC? I sense the tension but it’s quiet. No one is talking about layoff but also no one feels safe. My wife and I go in every day wondering if it’s the last.

Emails are going out. Furloughs at Halliburton Starting: March/23/2020 1 week on (with pay)... 1 week off (without pay)... May extend up to 60 days. I am sure they will go beyond this if the Chinese Virus is not erradicated before that. This... — read more

Any news for Carrollton hits?

Lay-off going on today!!! Tons of experience walking out the gate!!!

This company would not risk the unbelievably bad PR they would receive by mass laying off people during an international pandemic. Maybe a few people here and there but 99% of us are probably safe until this COVID19 thing is over. But then the head... — read more 

Thanks to the 'leadership' of Dave and Jeffery, along with worshiping the 'gods' of diversity and multi-culturalism, the entire legacy and reputation that Mr. Halliburton's hard work and REAL innovation established has been squandered. At the... — read more 

Happening as we speak!

What do you wish would happen?

It could be a blood bath in the Halliburton world.

How many of us will pay with our jobs just because Halliburton wants to continue paying a dividend when that should really be one of the first things to be either significantly reduced or cut completely at least for a while. If Occidental can cut... — read more 

Cement in Casper being shut down on Monday, I heard no packages also. Other areas in the Rockies start on Friday along with hourly hands being cut to 40 hours a week starting today. Better chinch up and be ready for an endless 8 second ride!!!

Boys, its too late to get out of that lousy group. You are stuck in a group with probably the worst managers in Halliburton. As a bonus, you get no focal point this year, no bonuses,nothing. You should have read posts in this forum earlier. — read more
