Oil is approaching $55 threshold for layoffs
Heard rumors that SLB will start layoffs, similar to 2015 levels, once Brent oil price drops below $55. It will start with US Land followed by everywhere else. No impact to people who are Grade 14 or above.
Expensive employees still here
Get rid of then before it is too late. Why we still have 200k salaries.

Legacy Smith layoffs coming
Why does SLB continue to target Legacy Smith personnel for layoffs. I've heard more layoffs coming at our Badentoy shop. Can anyone confirm?

In these uncertain times, SLB does not look anymore like it's "Too Big 2 Fail" ! where's the next stop for stock price ? 36 us$ ? 30 us$ or will SLB turn into a penny stock like WFT ? "Management by fear" seems to have reached a dead-end. There's... — read more

What if???
What if all the company's that SLB bought were left alone to operate profitably like they were, and use all the money spent on moves and transformation, spend it on new machines and technology. How great would it have been, and what would the stock... — read more
Bravo PK for taking care of investors
You turned against employees and now turning against investors. Where this bleeding of shares stops!
More layoffs?
Anybody else worried that we'll be hearing about more layoffs really soon due to dropping oil price? Schlumberger has proven again and again that the only way it knows how to deal with a crisis is through layoffs. No actual solutions, just band-aid... — read more
Oil Price steep fall
Oil price was above $84 - just 9 weeks ago and is now trading just above $61. 27% drop in just 9 weeks is very scary for workers in Schlumberger. Wish management would share their plans with the workforce. During Andrew Gould days, People were one of... — read more

The decline of culture

SLB stock heading to less than $40
Nothing to do with Transformation. It is all market forces. In last 12 months, Schlumberger share price has fallen 29% and Haliburton has fallen 27.5%. When share price goes low - it is market forces. When share price goes high - it is CEO hard at... — read more
Why are SLB managers so brutal and uncaring of their fellow employees whetting comes to layoffs - is it ethical and immoral?
It’s a sick dysfunctional culture that is ultimately self destructive
Serious question-where are SLB business levels
Do we have any exposure to renewables?
What is the purpose of this website?
It’s just allot of complete and utter nonsense! Seriously, ya’ll need to sort your sh-- out.
Don’t expect any remorse
Don't worry about payback. SLB's business model is mortal... It will collapse for sure. The question is only when. Bigger and better managed companies with solid visions and sound financials fail all the time for various reasons. So, slb has... — read more

Watching Oil Price Again
I was just wondering if anyone else is watching the oil price lately. I have been nervously watching it and frankly I'm trying to stop. Anyway so many of us were let go back in 2015/16. At least then I had some cushion saved up but now that's mostly... — read more

Hey Paal , wtf! When are you going to layoff more ?
Idle workforce everywhere, don't let size of slb catches up with you. Remember, size isn't strength, size is the weakness we all know it.
