We heard that if you step down from current level job scope to lower level job scope, you pay check is still remain the same i.e. no pays cut at all. It is policy. Is this true? eg. current job scope is PGL, later on few years later, step down as Technician job scope, the pay is the same as PGL. No pays cut. Is this fair? or policy?

Many employees were last year still got promotion with pay raised while layoff is still on going. It is all sound like who you know and who know you play important part. Somemore, PPR scrap this year, the new system - CheckIn will give more chance to those who know their bosses well and bosses know you well to give job promotion and salary raise. Is this called fairness? loophole?
its stan and plastic isnt it?
you missed out the ptls who couldnt hack it retaining the wage but doing less than the associates that they work next to.
Not sure if it's policy but it's definitely true. Here in the U.K. I personally know of 2 PGL's still now in roles with lower scope & responsibility. With the amount of good staff that have been let go it does leave a bad taste in the mouth when you see failures rewarded with security and a higher pay grade. That's what happens when you let one person appoint his puppets into management positions
It all depends on who you know, and who you blow.
I will offer up a hypothetical in the case of a most senior vice president being forced to become an OA1, do YOU really think that he would be forced to take any kind of monetary pay cut?
The same would apply to anyone who is in the good graces of his manager, but said manager is 'forced' to reduce headcount, which is accomplished by the well used Halliburton procedure of just inventing a new job title in order to retain his favorites.
Why do you think Halliburton invented the scheme of 'management trainee', unless it was to protect, and promote incompetent field hands, who otherwise had shown themselves to be totally incapable.
The world can't keep burning fossil fuel at the current rate (look at china or Delhi they can't breathe) so over the next 10 yrs there'll be a huge shift to using electric cars in the global-warming-savvy nations. Fossil fuel won't disappear altogether but demand will be much less which means the oil industry will never return to where it has been. Why do you think the Saudis are selling shares in Aramco for the first time......they're cashing in before everything hits the fan. It might be time to think about doing something else if you're still young.
If not a pay cut we need its a pay rise as we speak the industry is for the clients and all the large companys but when things pick up it shall be for the working man as these companys will struggle to get people on board so they shall need to increase contracts and another reminder is very little people will come back offshore as settled with new jobs the youth of today will not come out here either as to incentives to them as shown before.Halliburton need to look at pay rises and benefits and I am not talking about managers etc we talk about the working man hands on.
And just to finish off come away from this titles assistant operator etc etc that's uncalled for this is just doing people out of money ie cheap labour
