Say you're a typical SLB HR / manager and had to let some of the following go during a layoff season:
1.White woman,
2.White woman on H1B Visa,
3.Black guy,
4.Black guy on H1B,
5.Asian woman,
6.Asian woman on H1B,
8.Black woman on H1B,
9.Asian guy,
10.Asian guy on H1B
What would your priority list be like?
LOL at so many getting married and having kids to avoid layoffs.
So being a woman is a huge advantage at SLB, eh? no wonder it's hell of a mess, poor SLB
Too bad beginning wasn't for the "educated" morons.
This particular string comment is all wrong. Layoff's where a combination of two things. A) Everyone has to do a SLP3, which is basically a profile of you for HR Management. HR looks at a few data points that can be pulled out of it which is 1) Single/Married, 2) Kids/no kids, 3) your salary, 4) if your mobile/willing to move. Then B) in late 2014 each Manager was asked to put a list together of least preference/need to most need in the unit. So if a Manager covered 15 employees, #15 name on the list would be the 1st to be let go 90% of the time. There is moments when next on the list is picked and maybe during that time a Manager will try to save/negotiate that person and select another for that weeks layoff tally or force another related Management unit to fulfill the request. People can say what they want, but for the most part race, age, and foreigners on visa's are data points HR stays away from so not to get in to deep legal issues. They have to keep a positive public image. One of the things I thought was neat, when the layoffs was about to begin I never seen so many get surprisingly married or have kids.....lol
There should be a category for uneducated morons
I saw MANY MANY black and asian men getting laid off too. So calm down.
whhere i am at race and H1B do not make any difference if you are woman you are pretty safe but if you are a white guy over certain age group or just not liked you are good as gone. seen it happen first hand MANY MANY times over last few slb years
HR managers are drones, not managers. They only do what site and segment operational managers tell them. If they try to do their jobs independently, they get transferred or fired.
OP needs to think new and act new. - PK
What about the couch potatoes? Do they get to stay?
this is a trick question. white guys, with preference given to the older white guys.
Another example of well-deserved layoff
Those who pay me get to stay the rest can go.
All H1B's would go to the bottom. You first layoff all non-H1B employees first. According to the people in the know, US workers are all inferior to anyone with a H1B designation.
Correction: 7. Black woman
