When I got out of college and came to this company, oil price was $40.
2 weeks after I started, the company announced its first round of lay-off.
Since then, every day when I go to work, I tell myself: this "COULD BE" your last day at Halliburton.
If nothing happens after 1 or 2 pm, then that means my job will stay for one more day.
It has been 1.5 years and I am still with the company.
What a joke.
I was kinda wandering if he came back to work or realize he could have a real life out in the real world.
The joke is that you worry about that and come back every day. Your life must really s--- if that is all that you have to look forward too.
i hate to break it to ya', but a'know your co-workers feel the same way. they think about the day being your last day too, as opposed to being their last day, if ya' know what i mean. just sayin'
The JOKE is, that at 1.5 years of work experience, you know and can do virtually nothing to keep the company afloat. The experienced old-timers who have made the company successful keep getting walked out. You will not be able to learn everything you need to know to properly serve Hal's customers from a Camtasia video or a webinar. You, your fellow whiny entitled meme-sharing incompetent millennial brats, and the company will eventually lose.
Living in fear is just what management wants. They love nothing more than compliant little puppets that they can cow into submission with all their happy horseshit policies and guidelines. Don't do your required on-line 'training', disloyal employee, don't turn in the required number of HSE cards, disloyal employee, don't give the proper deference to management, disloyal employee, don't hold hands when walking across the yard, grounds for termination, and so it goes, a fearful employee can be easily molded.
They dream this sh-- up,, then sit back and just wait for you to exhibit a non-approved facial expression, and, you are out of there.
You can kiss all the a-- you want, and it still won't save you, although it helps.
Cry me a river. Every breath may be your last too. It must s--- to be you.
Don't stay more than 3 years. but you sound like a future CEO, whiner.
Oh, you poor little dear. The angst you must experience every time you badge in in the morning. Having been cut in 1986 and in Feb. 2016, I can tell you that it is a HELLUVALOT worse after it actually happens and no one will hire you because there are no jobs or, as it is now, because I'm "too old".
So pardon me if I don't have a tear to shed for you, sweetie pie. I have two college degrees and thought I'd always have work. Reality turned out to be different. If you want something to wring your hands over, try world peace.
You may be on to something.
if you are young 25-32, you safe they like fresh meat. Every company is same. if you with company for 7 year and still in same position you should look around. you become cancer meat if you stay in same place that long. that mean they will chop you off real deep
