Thread regarding Baker Hughes layoffs

The REAL Reason Why WEES in this HOT MESS

If you really want to know the truth and nothing but the truth:

A combination of situations like the pandemic, the climate change movement, the Company's outsourcing strategy, and political changes have all contributed to the current environment. The weakest link has been management's response, being devoid of compassion, while ignoring and violating the Company's long-standing unwritten agreement with loyal and dedicated employees. Management has severed the last strand of the trust cable, and is now in a free-fall situation of their own making. No amount of rationalization or clever words can repair the damage. Trust is lost.

It’s been a sh_t show since 2016. Leaders are somewhat powerless as HR runs the company. Only HR knows what’s needed to grow a business, save an account, and ensure the right personnel is hired and properly trained 🙄 (yeah)

The company is run by a spreadsheet, a dashboard, with someone Clueless starring at it and making the final call.

Sadly, the VPs for each PL are fed half truths by his/her minions that only tell them what they want to hear! So funny, yet so true. There’s no fixing the company. Only bright side is that the competitors are also doing the same nonsense.

Baker was in a mess long before covid or GE came along, its been in a downward spiral for at least 10 years hence GE jumping in, the demise was due to the quality of the tools you were putting out and i am not blaming workshop for that, management were happy to use any means possible to push tools out the door, this caused a downward spiral that has been worsened by the pandemic and the reasons you state.

Amen. At least managers have some knowledge of the big picture and can maneuver their careers to the right positions. Field personnel are the last to find out and the first to be let go.
