New hire is making more than me

While there is all this talk about Halliburton looking for cheap labor, I found out that new hire makes more than I do. That person with little to no experience in the industry was offered more than me even though I have been in this company for... — read more 

Control, control

Is it really necessary to micromanage so many employees who have been in this company for years and who have always done their job well? It is no longer a matter of ego, but such an approach began to bother me in doing my job. Was the ultimate goal... — read more

Distribution of work that frustrates

I don't know how it came about, it seems like it wasn't like that before, but now there are five slackers here for every hard worker? I understand, people have lost motivation and are doing only minimally what is expected of them, but the problem is... — read more

Mark Richard is the kiss of death for this company!

Mark Richard is the kiss of death for Halliburton. He is a micro manager who is running the place into the ground. He hates being questioned and managers under him are required to stroke his ego on the daily. Absolutely ridiculous. He will be the... — read more

Nobody cares about high turnover

It's a joke how little senior management pays attention to the rapidly growing turnover and all the experience and institutional knowledge we're losing through it. That's something that can't be replaced by just adding another warm body into the mix... — read more 

Cementing PSL

Keep up the great work!!! I have never been busier in my decade long run in the TX oilfield. Averaging well over 100 hrs a week . It’s Just too bad I now work for a competitor that doesn’t turn DP into fence posts.

Why no return to WFH???

With cases in Houston shooting through the roof why no calls from HAL to return to a WFH model? All we get are emails from Summer Condarco saying Vaccines are the ONLY way to stay safe.

Halliburton LIED ABOUT SURVEY!

Email came out today with info on the survey results. They claimed numerous times the survey was anonymous, however, the email states "we learned much of our office based employees are vaccinated". If the survey is anonymous, how do they know what... — read more

The future for Halliburton

It's obvious by now that Halliburton is done with north america so my question is what sort of timeframe do you think they have to move out of dodge? I hunkered down during the pandemic bit now I'm looking for jobs again and once I snap a decent... — read more 

VACCINE SURVEY IS NOT REQUIRED

The vaccine survey request is NOT REQUIRED. That terminology is used only to persuade you to comply. Again, IT IS NOT REQUIRED. Having a vaccine is not a requirement of your job! You DO NOT have to answer the survey.

Antiquated practices

I have heard such comments many times, that our processes are very antiquated, which is the absolute truth. Why is it like that? Why does Halliburton want to be a dinosaur company? Is it so difficult or impossible to make positive changes in this... — read more

Will there be a need for layoffs?

Does it seem to you that more people are leaving here than have been laid off? Too many people I know have left lately. My impression is that there has never been a bigger exodus from here. When someone mentioned that they heard rumor about layoffs... — read more 

Retirement Plan

How long will it take to receive your 401k/retirement plan from Halliburton after leaving?

Why doesn't anyone younger want to work here?

I know, the reasons are multiple, but it’s really shocking to me that the company isn’t even trying to keep at least young talented people. It should try to keep all skilled employees, but it is one of the few companies that does nothing to prevent... — read more 

Longview Texas Yard

What’s up with the Longview yard? I see a lot of trucks being moved out

Wireline out of Alvarado

Are there any wireline guys out of Alavrado from the Kilgore yard? I hear you guys are busy in Louisiana…you ever think the Kilgore yard will open back up?

Comparative advantages

I came to the forum to see if there were any new juicy rumors. Turns out there isn't, but I was interested in someone's post about Halliburton having nothing to offer that second or third tier oil field services company doesn't already offer, even... — read more 

Nothing is going on here...that is a good sign.

In contrast, the Layoff.com site for the Fortune 100 company I went to work for after Halliburton is always busy with angry and anguished posts. With good reason, I might add. Count your blessings.

Cuts before Q2?

Predictions for the second quarter are not at all optimistic. Bad results = cuts. Do you think there will be big cuts before the second quarter results are announced? Some have already started speculating that the cuts will be huge, but these are... — read more 

It's nice to hear, but...

It’s nice to hear stories of people who quickly found better jobs after Halliburton, but I think many of those stories are a bit idealized. I’m sure there are those who would love to return to Halliburton, if it was possible, because they still... — read more 

Elon Musk vs Jeff M

While Elon Musk talks about going to mars, and clean energy transportation Jeff M cant stop talking about how great I Cruise is. Great job halliburton! You are indeed the future!

Ex employees, where are you now?

I would love for it to stay like this for a long time, because I feel like a new man since I work from home. WFH saves me a lot of time wasted on transportation, I’m more productive, and it would be sad to go back to the office and see that there... — read more 

Fitting

Fun to read Jeff Miller and the leadership teams made millions more last year despite a downturn and laying off thousands off workers... I feel no remorse for the management team, there's not any sorrow for stealing money from this corrupt... — read more

How actively are you looking for a new job?

I had it as a priority for a while and then I slowed down a bit because I’m still in a comfort zone here. Now I think I should start looking for something else more actively again.
