Mfg had a good thing going with lots of very qualified people.
Though through the dealings with 3rd party companies (aka his friends) a certain employee was able to funnel work from Halliburton to his own machine shop, using Halliburton tools, machinery, and even company time to fulfill his customers orders. We would even have to work weekends at times at overtime pay to meet our deadlines because we'd spend the week working on his personal projects.
Now everyone is laid off except this employee who is now making money with resources taken from Halliburton all while still collecting a check from Halliburton.
