Thread regarding Halliburton Co. layoffs

Somebody in procurement gets told they are going, kicks up a stink, Now we are all at risk again, What's going on, there must be some process, or is it down to who shouts loudest.

Forster should grow a pair and clean out the trash under his feet first. He has been covering and guiding these useless fools for years when the going was good. Mr F its time to cut those puppet strings.....three people to do one man/women job is not the way it should be going forward.

Absolutely correct, at $115 a barrel Halliburton Arbroath was making money in spite of the bad management, not so now, as regards the buddies and halfwits, they are all still there.

An embarrassing catalogue of failings and errors from people who are paid to KNOW their job. It's beyond comprehension that this quagmire is the product of supposedly qualified people.

Oil at $115/barrel generated a plethora of positions that were filled with halfwits and buddies and now we (minions) are paying the price.

Yeah disgusting, someone has got

To be monitoring this fiasco. Hope the yanks are reading this site, but iam sure they will be.

Correct Union is the way to go, proper representation, and clear cut procedure. No old pals act or covering assrubbish.

What's happening with procurement? Someone told that they were going, now a review and everyone in procurement at risk. Can't keep going on like this.got to be unlawful. No procedure. is it let's suck it and see. If nobody complains fine, if someone complains let's try something different. Hope Greg J is watching this, Big claims a coming!

When this is all done and dusted forster and Co need taken to account citizens advice everybody join the union for legal advice we must do something imo

Totally agree they don't have a clue. Telling people they are finished then they don't know. Total shambles, This is people's lives they are dealing with. Surely this can't go on any longer.

Agreed. If not for Forster the place would likely be down the sh--ter already. The 'management' team the guys got at his disposal are a joke. Can't take a week off without his management team and HR making an utter cunt of everything.

It is note forsters fault, he has left it to his highly compotant management team. Guess what Mr F, you've only been away a week and they have managed to fu#k the whole thing up. They are total weapons-----------------weapons of mass distruction

20 poor souls going on scrapheap and where's forster away up north out the way on holiday the guys a buffoon no respect for workforce total embarresment of a manager

Let's face it Arbroath is finished. Management a disgrace.

Yes, Singapore like many other foreign companies operating there would have been spared (in part) due to the various covenants regarding employment of locals that tends to be written into the tax and funding incentives. It's well known to be turning into a bit of a billion dollar clusterfcuk. Fortunately for the incapable engineers and technology teams Halliburton has sunk too many dollars into this plant

no point in complaining about singapore , classic american management style set up a company in a low wage area get the goverment to give you lots of tax breaks, use youre trained high wage persons to train up keen people with asspirations to get on and move on from hallis piss poor work enviroment. those of us that are going over to singapore to train them are of course selling us all out , but it doesnt matter as someone else would have done it, we are all slaves to the dollar!

boy its good to get a retard posting , those of us who are concerned about losing our jobs due to nothing other than poor decision making by our central managment, have no other means of venting our frustration than these pages. you sir i suggest know sh-- and would i am sure accept getting youre arse booted out the door without a murmur of dissent. company drone.

You don't know sh*t... do you guys even know why Singapore was spared(not totally, at least) from lay-offs?

If you don't, stop whining! You know nothing!

If you do, then it would be the right decision.. (Business Perspective)

If Singapore have access to all our programs then I'm not surprised they can't get anything right over there. That really explains a lot. Thank you
