It’s a shame, that within a short drive from NOV corporate on Park Row, that someone who cared in a high position, could have simply taken the time to come by some time back when the Lebanese Mafia came into power under, just to witness the grossly incompetent leadership which set into motion the terrible and avoidable course for the now doomed plight of NOV US power section manufacturing.
The two victims of this match made in h_ll were two companies, R&M Energy Systems & Monoflo, which had promise, albeit each had flaws, but it was evident that under even reasonable leadership and with sone really great employees, solid brands and field reputation, could have endured and remained at least a survivor in this downturn with a chance to rebuild.
But, it wasn’t to be, it was all arrogance from NOV.
“It’s just shooting rubber into a tube”, they would say!
Just sad how some really talented and dedicated employees poured significant periods of their careers and let’s face it good parts of their lives into each company, and later into NOV, even in the face of extreme incompetence of the past through present leadership.
Just trying to make it work, hoping their sacrifice may help keep the company afloat even when faced with an antagonistic and adversarial management culture.
A truly hostile workplace it was.
I’m sad, also hopeful for those who will be losing their jobs, to seek their best and strive for themselves a better future and a better work environment.
This is nearing the final chapter of a nightmarish novel which still produces bad dreams and cold-sweats for many.
Hopefully new joy and peace to come.
There is light after NOV.
Good Riddance NOV!
Best Wishes to all current and future former employees!
