HR insider told me that they are not done yet. They just don’t have enough HR personnel to complete them all as fast as they would like. Severance is lamentable - 1 week per year of service is a joke!

@2je you must not work here. It means Halliburton/Landmark consulting services
@20f
"hal consulting"
who exactly is that?
From my HR insider: HAL consulting is on the chopping block this week!
@OP can you ask your HR insider if layoffs are done or more on the way? I am seriously worried and scared to be let go in this job market
@1z2 1 week per year of service. So if you were at HAL for 4 years, you’ll get 4 weeks (1 month).
@1xt what is offered as severance package?
@OP You are right. Layoffs are still going on. I got laid off the day after Labor Day
$1200/mo used to be mortgage payment for a good house in Houston few years ago!
@116 Who the he-l signs up for a $1200/mo vehicle note.. that's on you.
When your manager tells you your position is safe and not worry - Do NOT believe them!! I got laid off with a $1200 new truck note! Do not be naive like me.
@xm we are definitely going to buy less gifts this Xmas. It all makes sense now why someone said that we don’t need 30 dollls as gifts and can survive with just two for Xmas. Tthose who used to buy two dolls for Xmas can now get two toothpicks as gift.
So layoffs not over till end of year? Does that mean early Xmas presents might still be handed out?
@q1 Halliburton is so petty.
@p1 pull your head out of sand buddy. This layoff was planned well before OPEC increased production. This is totally driven by the market volatility that started in April.
The one week per year of service is only from your last hire date or at least that's what I was having to fight HR about.. so total accumulated service years do not count if you're a rehire.. anyone else contested this?
@e6 the only governments that stabilize the market are in OPEC, and they've chosen to increase production.
@OP
Layoffs have been taking place all month, last Friday was Technology....this week continues
The sooner our government can stabilize the market, the better for all of us. If not expect more waves of layoffs in the coming months.
@d6 they will have another round of layoffs in Nov/Dec
dbs had layoffs friday. we were told it's over but i don't believe it.
Yeah this person is telling the truth. Don’t make big purchases right now and keep expenses low because everyone will be affected during this RIF/ restructuring as they called it but we all know it is to keep the stock price up to keep the investors happy!
