Thread regarding Schlumberger Ltd. layoffs

Have you heard about the secret 'Blue Boss" IT project thats under development?

Its very hush hush but info has been leaking out about this in the past month or so. Our company is in a JV with IBM developing an artificial intelligence program that will act as an ops manager assistant. It will make business decisions based on operational data and can even talk.

They have been clear the idea is not to replace the managers but give them support. So why are they calling it the 'Blue Boss" project I ask myself??? Have any of you guys heard of it?

This is scary as we get through the oil price storm the next thing is robots replacing us!!!!

Wood Group all ready did this, in fact they farmed all of IT out to IBM.

And . . . . it's not working well. They have lost two large clients all do to tech issues where they are not compatible with their clients systems. Oh well.

They also sold out their IT folks to IBM in order to get out of paying severance. They all were transferred to IBM as employees in June and will all be let go at the end of August. My friend worked with them for 9 years and gets no severance. Pretty raw deal.

The only part of IBM making money is the cloud part.
