Depends on who you know, not what you know.
Some are underpaid used & abused & then laid off 1st .

"SLB is a sh-- company with a good image in 3rd world countries where it recruits talents and brings on visas to NAM."
WOW you hit the nail on the head! all people left in Houston are either from Canada or 3rd world countries!
Paal Kippsgard thinks he is a superman and knows it all this will be his downfall.
Believes he has to keep workers Men and mostly women who are good for nothing.
I do believe in women and men who are capable and deserving but all do not have a halo.
Ans yes most of the indian's who work there think they are paying salaries from their pockets while making a big sum of money themselves , many call themselves irreplaceable... Only time will tell.
One night, the Presidents of Wireline, Well Services and SIS were drinking in a bar discussing IBT, layoffs and the future [you fill in the rest.....].

The company is gonna lose. Zero leadership left. This has nothing to do with the downturn. It's sheer utter incompetence throughout the ranks. The integration model does not work for everything. Let people and businesses do what they do best. Other companies are not perfect either but incompetence is less tolerated.
It's unreal how many bosses don't even have college degrees in this company and base their existence on years of service which they never qualified to be hired for in the first place. Real experience and skill won't get rewarded. So how did they get to be where they are... Down and dirty... And screwing great people over for years and years...
Wrong , they have the 3D good future image. 1Dck + 1Dogy+ 1Dumb =3D. They need people to have that, willing to do everything from doggy to Dck. How the heck they let somebody know nothing about manufacturing ,can't even read tape measure . They look at the drawing like my kids look at the newspaper and suggest improvements.
