Thread regarding Baker Hughes layoffs

Roles removed, then replaced?

Anyone understand the logic of this?
There have been many roles terminated that are now being replaced with a slightly different job description.
So the company paid severance and separation pay to end up re-hiring many of the same people, adding all the onboarding costs.
Isn't the whole thing about cost reductions?

When a circus is new in town, it gets a lot of interest! But when it has stayed in the same town for 10 years, nobody gives a f&$k. The only people who are affected are those artists who are run off because they know things better than the leaders and more experienced. Make way for young unsuspecting innocents to go through the circus until their turn to get booted! One day it will run down!

The roles in Pune have different names so it doesn't sound like the company moved the jobs to India.

Between efficient and deficient the difference is just a few letters. Maybe in reality they meant that we have to be more deficient with this re-org
