Hey we have an over abundance of employees. Right now it takes about 3-4 people to accomplish just one task, and sometimes more depending on the situation. In the real world you do your job or you will be given the opportunity to find new employment. Our problem is that the feelings of a nonperforming employee is more important than the company. Just imagine the money we could save at Halliburton by holding people accountable for their actions.
Good post from @118Z77L5-4zwk.
About the only thing you are held to account for at Halliburton is writing your monthly quota of Hazard Observation Cards (HOC's)! Management is clueless about the business. The culture has been destroyed.
Halliburton is already well into the mind set that employees are a dime a dozen and the new kids on the block from college have all the answers. They are not interested in anything else out of their little world of thinking. Halliburton has some technology but they seem to forget that others do too. And those others are going after the work tooth and nail. The fat asses at Halliburton think they are set and don't have to fight for the work. History shows what happens to that thinking.
I spent a long time there and had a great business which was ruined in 5 minutes by the incompetent mis-management.
Guys, we always follow the latest Harvard School of Business, about 5 years after proven not good, initiatives. Latest one the GE management in flush. Flush it has been. A couple stars, plus mostly GE rejects. Last CEO present to the future. Thank you very much can I have another [Animal House quote]!!!!
Management will always look after management at all publicly traded companies in North America, and this will be their ultimate downfall. They sacrifice the front line staff instead of themselves to boost up the EPS to make the stockholders and Investment Analysts happy knowing they are meeting Wall Streets estimates. The Managers know they can fill these positions with desperate people looking for work, but eventually bad karma will catch to them. Look at how much HAL stock dropped since May 2018. Even with the US becoming the biggest global producer of oil, Halliburton did not capitalize based on its share price. Nuff said!!
Everyone and everything will be okay. Just keep saying ,” I am okay and you are okay”.
How about holding management accountable for laying off people who knew what they were doing and were good dependable workers, and replacing them with dumb f~^ks who don't anything?
You mean like holding our former CEO and his cronies on the board accountable for the failed takeover of Baker, which cost us $3.5B?
Very true about accountability. But a huge problem is that the “real world”, isn’t the same as Halworld. Instead of streamlining work to produce more, we set up more obstacles, barriers to slow an already crawling process. We hire incompetent, we over pay just to get those, and c-ap on the ones who work and actually produce. I never been to a workplace ,that it paid the same to be productive or non productive, with no accountability, but it exist here in Halworld. We’ve allowed this through the years of having the wrong people hire our workers, and having HR control the helm. We send an incompetent through NEO, furnish uniforms, work boots, and empower them with thoughts of entitlement . WE plant the wrong seeds, you have a bad crop. To make a change for the better, limit HR, put people in the right positions that produce. That’s from the cleaning lady to the top of the ladder.
