Gradual reduction of perks

I haven't been here that long, so I don't know. Can anyone make a retrospective of how the benefits have diminished here over the years. Someone stated that overtime, bonuses, double time, 401k matches, are now much different than before.

It’s awful how many people are leaving

Looks like HR has already started restructuring. Anybody know of any other groups within Tuboscope that management is trying to restructure?

One of the O&G industry's worst companies?

NOV Russia

Pulling out or not. What is the correct move? Customer comments?

It's just a job

It’s funny when I see people expecting their company to show them respect and honor and complaining when they don't get it. Is there really a company in this industry that does that? I don't think so. Aside from what I think about it, I don't... — read more

NOV has put themselves into an obsolete position

They spent a decade chasing offshore new builds and made a lot of money but they neglected day to day rig operations and their place within those operations. This is especially true with land rigs. They put a lot of companies in business to replace... — read more
