Thread regarding Halliburton Co. layoffs

No business owner or corporation is going to sink the titanic before getting on the life rafts. Notice I didn’t mention the below deck. Expendable and unemployment benefits to employees paid by employer during good times. Why do you think businesses go overseas?

You mean halliburton still has an onshore IT Team. How quaint.

This company would not risk the unbelievably bad PR they would receive by mass laying off people during an international pandemic. Maybe a few people here and there but 99% of us are probably safe until this covid thing is over. But then the head chopping will begin and it will probably be earth shattering.

I heard a similar comment from someone else(not a director) it's the kind of thing they won't ever tell you. It's a business guys, we don't work for the Managers, we work for the investors. Guess how they feel about your job when their investments sunk? Yes there are laws that protect us, but it's a 2-way contract, no company is obligated to keep you hired, same way you can just quit.

We have some good Directors, but like in everything else, not all are good people. That comment though showed more insight than otherwise we would know. Thanks to the IT employee for sharing, now we know.

You might wanna tell whoever you heard that from they are in id–t. This is a international pandemic and an emergency. There are laws that protect you from being fired if your safety is at risk. And requiring you to come in to an office during a pandemic is a risk to your safety.
