I'm not telling lies, I'm telling the truth. Your so called opinion isn't an opinion it's just BS. Evidence clearly doesn't support what you are saying. You got this the wrong way round. The problem at DQ are people like you. Little weasels that spend all day kissing a– to try and save their own neck with no care in the world about the people you trample on to do it. A company full of selfish self centred scumbags that just rollover to your masters instead of trying to make it a better place to work in. How can I be a hypocrite when I will be out of there in 10 day's time? It can't come soon enough.

I would actually agree with that. Blake and big Jim made a good partnership. For all big Jim's faults he knew what he was talking about and listened to people. Make no mistake his "retirement" was just a cover up for him being forced out by big bird and unfortunately Blake has went along with it. Big bird is calling all the shots now and he is ruining DQ. Blake is letting him away with it and because Blake is the CEO the buck will stop with him while big bird gets away with it.

People like you are the DQ problem. Going around, spreading lies and accusing others. You accuse me being paid for telling my opinion. I wish I was getting paid for telling the truth. I can say the same thing about you. Who is pay you to trash Blake here and what is your motive!? If you really believe he is doing such a bad job, why do you continue working under his leadership. Stop being a hypocrite and go find a job in a different company with a CEO with better leadership. At least I’m honest to myself and others!

Have to say, it’s not Blake that needs to go. He’s had his head turned by certain individuals, and that’s his biggest mistake in all of this. For such a strong character it’s surprising that he has been so malleable

Did Blake pay you to say that cringe worthy spiel? This is not just about his performance during this downturn. His poor performance and poor decision making has been going on for years now. Too name a few you have the poor acquisition of TIW, the shambolic restructure to COE when he was warned they would fail, the poor appointment of Jeff Bird, the poor way in which he dealt with the video where Aberdeen were slated and all the wasted money of late with facility upgrades only to take all their work away making the upgrades a waste of time. Blake is grossly over compensated for his position when compared to similar sized companies and he has to be held to account. If you honestly believe Blake is not doing a bad job I suggest you come out from under his desk, open your eyes and take a look around at the chaos that him and the Bird have brought upon DQ.

Another CEO in Blake‘s shows can’t do any better. In fact he/she may do even worse! It’s easy to be ignorant and blame one person for everything! So, let’s get rid of him, and all the sudden the company should start doing great! Right?!
But the truth is that oil price is too low, and all oil companies (operators and service companies) are suffering because of it. I have buddies in other oil and gas companies, I talk to them, their situation is either worse than us or similar to us. So it’s not Blake, the whole industry is doing bad regardless of the CEO’s name!

Correct. Too many bad decisions and appointing Jeff Bird was one of them. Both of them need to go as Jeff is running the show and Blake is allowing him to ruin Drill Quip.

There has been plenty of chances to turn the company around. Way to many bad decisions on his watch that has brought the company to this dark place. Time to go

You would rather have the second in command running the show? I think not.
You honestly don’t think every other service company is in the same boat right now- cost cutting, redundancy’s?
What do you expect them to do- run the company into the ground.

Get a grip, wise up.
