Is chemicals getting hit in the GoM?

Halliburton has always operated with no regard for its employees. Over hire to get the work done than boot everyone immediately when they don't need them. Now they are even letting go of their core employees. Get out, and don't ever come back.

Slowly picking people off and starving people out. It's officially a bust folks. I'm still working for big red but it's a question of not if, but when it will end! Good luck to everybody.

Any truth to this?

What's the latest with Mfg and Technology in Carrollton and NB Mfg?

Oklahoma folks who have already been hit: What type of unemployment benefits are you getting? Did your severance package affect your unemployment benefits? Were there any types of retraining opportunities offered? Did any of you draw out your 401k... — read more 

You would think that Halliburton could be a little more humane about how they do this. Most decent companies offer services to help their laid off employees with services to help them find other jobs. Usually when a company this large has a big... — read more 

Where are the layoffs happening in Duncan?

-- team lead? Discipline manager? Director? or even higher-level management?

Perverted Management

Sperry Canada self destructed in 2014 and 2015 wasn't a year to try and recover. Half of the jobs lost weren't related to the market conditions, half were customers fed up with Sperry and took their business elsewhere.

Another round expected today for the weekend crew. Got word calling for more police and more security on stand by. If Halliburton workers are getting cut, then they need to cut security and their cleaning staff too. Anybody else agree on this shit?

Looking for as much information as possible regarding Dave's email of doom. Our Senior management are totally in the dark and are unable to tell us ANYTHING.

Retrenchment, seriously? More brown nose sent to Singapore for hide out on expatriate package now. Check out with your counterpart there if in doubt.

Did anyone else get offered a job and do your background checks, take the drug test, get a start date, and sign all your paperwork; only to have them call and say they aren't hiring anymore? All of this after you turned down other job offers?! Ugh!!!
