Thread regarding Schlumberger Ltd. layoffs

Just crashed the company truck while talking on my phone - what should i do?

Its a minor bump and I can get it fixed quickly but I will have to pay for that out of my own money!! but nobody will ever know. Or I report it and take the chance they don't check my phone record at the recorded time of the accident as it shows me talking. My damn wife called me at the wrong time and told me about a problem that made me crash (she wants to divorce me and take the kids with her - I admit I have had 7 affairs in the past year but thats because of work stress and never knowing when you could be laid off) Do they usually check this? Anybody got experience with this type of situation and would they understand if I explained to them the emotional stress of my wife leaving me?

I could have been a boss if they some good talent spotters but they let me slip by those dumb--sses . Anyway weatherford are much more professional and have recognized my talent and signed me up.

This guy is definitely VP material in SLB. Why are they letting him go?

Sorry guy but you made your bed now lie in it. I hope I never work with you but the way slb makes decisions you'll probably end up being my manager.

"I'm my own boss". Really?? Then why go crawling to Weatherford? You are like a toddler who believes that negative attention is better than no attention. Nobody on this thread is jealous of you. But at least you seem to care about the environment.... because you like recycling old posts about the exact same topic. Looking forward to you dusting this off and reusing it in 6 months, or on another board, or wherever you're trying to pitch this story.

Funny that you were worried about your phone's memory. Anybody with a brain knows how to fix the phone, but you didn't. What an idiot. You can't even make up a believable sorry. Stick to children's books.

Hey, little troll, you forgot to mention one little bit of information. You forgot to say how you rigged the black box that is in EVERY company vehicle. I know a guy that borrowed the company pickup and was speeding in town. Before the next morning, he and his boss and his boss had an a$$chewing waiting in their inbox and a Quest action report. These black boxes know all and tell all. So why don't you get off your computer/cell phone and get back to work. And it's oblivious you don't have a company vehicle. You probably don't have a wife of a girlfriend.

You could have killed somebody you big no good sob. You behave like this at work and you treat your wife like a piece of meat so one wonders why schlumberger ever hired a total reprobate like you in the first place. We need to check our hiring procedures to make sure we never employ such a low life creature again. You are the most loathsome employee it has ever been my displeasure to come across. You should be in jail never mind going to work for another company and our others people's lives at risk

Make your own rules bs? You wouldn't have ever thought of paying for damage out of your own pocket if that was the case. So I hope your new girlfriend isn't scared of getting the creeping crude from you. Obviously you can't keep it zipped up!

Like I said before, I think your post is b.s., and you are b.s. However, when you work for any company and you piss on the company rules, expect to get canned. Weatherford can have you. My time at SLB my be short, it may be long..... but whenever I do leave, I'm not going out like an a--. You seem like a little b--ch "It's my wife's fault I crashed". "It's Schlumberger's fault that I can't keep my pants zipped". If your story is true, your wife and SLB are better off without your whiny, crybaby punk a--. Yeah, I'm jealous that I'm not a pos.

hey buddy sounds like you are jealous because I am a rebel who don't take crap from anybody including HSE bosses and I may soon be working for a better company than schlumberger who treat their people real good.

no more quest investigations and I hear they let you do what you want with your truck and don't worry about stupid things like talking on your phone when you have a real emergency and need to drive somewhere quick to save a situation , thats a real deal people company to work for. I truly hope i get the job with them and you enjoy your slave relationship to big blue doesnt care about you company. they will fire you sooner or later boy

This is the one who called bs on you. I think it's still bs but on the very small chance that it's not... I'm glad to hear that SLB has dumped a garbage employee on the Weatherford trash heap. I hope you wrap your new company vehicle around the nearest telephone pole. BTW, you do know that Weatherford will contact SLB for a safety background check, don't you? Better get some comfortable shoes, you'll be standing in the unemployment line before you know it!

Hey whats bothering you brother? I wish this was not as serious as it is and my job would not be on the line today. I don't make up stories about losing my career!!! If you don't like it or you work for Schlumberger HR then you don't have to read it. Go find someone else to take your rage out on

I'm calling bullsh!t on this post. A VERY similar b.s. story was posted months ago. OP.... have you nothing better to do with your time? You're probably that guy who spends Christmas on a busted recliner, eating leftover takeout while watching porn, because nobody likes you. Please desperately seek attention elsewhere.

Don't pay out of your own pocket to fix a company truck. This is what you can do. Fake a car theft situation and junk that b--ch. As long as you have a police report, that ain't your fault.

Thanks for the feedback guys. I decided to report this as being hit in the car lot and take it from there as I don't want to pay for the repairs out of my own money.

I have a meeting with the HSE guy tomorrow morning and he has asked me to bring my phone with me! Now I am getting worried about this. Any other ideas how to erase my call history or some other excuse?

He also asked me to bring evidence of the car park lot I was in, receipts for parking, shopping etc. I don't know why he is asking for all this kind of info. I f I had known that I may not have went down this road....not sure what options I have now other than play the emotionally stressed card

Go have a few drinks. When Sh$t faced call you bosses boss and report that you were out with your boss and he crashed your truck! You should be ok. Here in EAF this is a normal occurrence.

Good luck and please let us know how it turns out!
