that last email from DD sounds ominous, but is not surprising. Oil is in the 20s... that means it is time to cut jobs. You got to wonder if MDR will make it out of chapter 11.
The finish line is now in few at Cameron. We need everyone to pull together and get this done.
Bellyaching about the buses helps noone !
Looks like we'll get a few billion in stimulus, Need to allocate a good percentage into executive packages.
DD needs more funding.

As Long as we pay Vendors near on time we are OK
As long as we pay vendors like Emerson and others on a timely and contractual basis we should be fine. Late payments, and really late payments to them are a sign of internal trouble. Hopefully they will continue to service us through our struggles. — read more

Colombia still hanging over us
That mess has not been fully resolved and hasn't helped the stock price. Will those two clowns be sent back to face the music? Getting that resolved will help our rep!
We could possibly award this company a project, but they would have to agree to take a 10% haircut.
We'll keep you busy, but you need to do our job at a 10% loss. Agreed ? What say you DD ?
My entire project team got escorted out of the building. No reasons. Nothing.
All they did was remind us that we signed a NDA (Non Disclosure Agreement) and that we signed on our first day as "at will" employees. That's it.
