I have wasted my time at this rat race of a money losing company.

It is sad, but not receiving promotion speaks more about someone's valuable and dedicated work than actually getting promoted. I don’t care at all, I'm not envious and I’m definitely leaving here soon, but they should be wondering what message they... — read more 

Face that and act accordingly.

I have a career in field operations and am looking at a few companies to apply to. I read the Glassdoor reviews and happened to come across this site while searching for layoffs and how often they occur. I do have a question if anyone could care to... — read more 

Hey remember a time when this was a useful thing that actually meant something? To improve and grow within a company which would reward your performance accordingly? Yeah me neither

Been a while. Has DC and his merry crew finished up any new amazing technology that's been worked on in the last 30 years? Have the old R&M guys ever found their lost tech or finished up migrating all of their amazing data systems for the customers?... — read more 

Yesterday I discovered that Wells Fargo no longer manages nov 401k. I never received mail or an email about this. Well I was laid off a few years ago, I made the mistake of not rolling to a new account. I did find my account with the new company... — read more

It seems to me that no one is proud to be working here anymore and that everyone is quite depressed and demoralized. At least that's how it is with me. I used to be very proud that I was given the opportunity to work here, and now unfortunately I am... — read more 

After the 2nd quarter? What do you think? Some even mention a 25% reduction in workforce. I believe layoffs will follow but not to such an extent.

I’m afraid the NOV is a lost cause and that there isn’t any CEO out there who could easily fix things here. That's just my opinion. I have no hope anymore, except to get out of here soon. Maybe someone thinks the new CEO could perform the needed... — read more 

I’m a 50+ year old employee with almost 30 years of service in the industry. My goal has always been early retirement. I’m not quite there yet but I’m very close. I’m getting nervous about my age being a factor in my ability to find another job if... — read more 

I have heard the Yanks shall be filming 'One flew over the Cukoo's nest 2' at NOV Greengate.

Do you expect significant cuts after the Q2 report? I have a bad feeling so I am preparing, just in case.

So what's going on over there these days? Parking lot looks like they are doing better but with the leadership they have I don't see how...Clean your sign!!! Looks trashy.

I can just imagine what the Chief Elfecutive and his right hand man are discussing right now. Probably something like: "Well jefe, looks like another negative EBITDA quarter for us, do you think people are catching on that we completely s**ck at... — read more

Get in to work early Slaps ive got a new soap on a rope!!

I guess i should be glad that at least the 401K match is coming back but, why are we waiting until October to bring back the 401 matching?

I prefer to work and it is easier for me to work with bad employees who often have a very negative attitude, than with mediocrities who do more damage to this company than bad employees. This used to be a company where not everyone could be... — read more 

You guys suck at your job.

Will NOV ever REQUIRE all employees to be COVID vaccinated in order to stay employed?

Cuts do not solve any problems. However, the leadership is trying to solve all the problems in this company by cutting people. It turns out that not only does it not solve the problem, but it deepens it even more in the long run. I don't understand ... — read more 

Does anyone know aproximately when the NOV management lost the mental capacity to manage??????????

What happened?

Round one for bammel will be this Friday, expect service dept and some office support roles to get cuts.

With layoffs coming up, I need info on how to get on this hunting lease so I can keep my job.

I really believe this Managers in this company realize that they’re days are numbered. With NOV turning its head further from O&G and more towards renewables, Tuboscope has nothing to offer in this upcoming industry. It’s all old school equipment... — read more 

Has anyone heard from the Galveston Gossip Guard? These posts have been pretty weak without him.

With the end of the quarter coming this will be the last month of a paycheck, for most of you. Controls techs I would save every dime you make this month.

I have never known a manager at NOV that was able to keep a lid on their bucket of worms.

I think that is absolutely impossible. It's more depressing than ever. This is the rock bottom. They are not at all interested in raising the morale here, and even if they were, that it is now a realistically impossible mission. I somehow put up... — read more 

It there something we're not being told

Your time is up. Hope you can return all the toys you bought. Some of you will find new jobs, but for most of you will finally realize you suck at this. But that's ok cause well be hiring back the good ones as contractors.

Only once have I tried, with the best of intentions, to draw attention to the fact that what they wanted me to do was not a good solution and that perhaps it should be done differently and better. I regretted it. After that, it took me a long time... — read more 

I was wondering how many who were laid off are now in a better position than they were while employed at NOV? I was laid off and felt such bitterness in the beginning. Then I let all the negativity wash away and began to pick myself up and start over... — read more 

Any company that has a reduction in work force and escorts the former employees out with a security guard(S) deserves to go bankrupt. They are already morally bankrupt.
