More of Uncle Dave's decisive 'leadership', but he got his bonus, so who cares?
I would say that ANY field hand with more than 5 years service will be on the 'expendable asset' list.

The future of this company is with the youth. The best of fortune and luck to Halliburton.
Yup, just wait until it gets in the 30's.....
Ax is gonna fall and heads are gonna roll.
There aren't too many of us old, expierenced hands left any more, so you young little snow flakes turds better get your resumes ready. Walmart and McDonald's might hire you.....
$42.58, that's $42.58. For those of you playing the home addition of our game, be sure to update your score cards. And if you are lucky enough to be holding a skip a turn card be careful you don't misplace it.
$43.34, oh man.
i find it ironic how we have the libtards working for this company, and other oil field service companies, and they drive these pieces of crap.
Then they try to have kaizan events on how to implement solar panels and wind mills onto our facilities. But they work for an oil field service company.
Let's go green they cry out, save the planet, let's stop drilling, WTF.......
You can't make this shat up!!!!!!
Ugh, crude at 44.56, struggling. Ya know, if you drive a hybrid type vehicle to work, you may want to have your personal items in a box at your desk, ready .., just sayin'
they need to be working on a 40 dollar per barrel solution- without that we are doomed ! or just walk around, but carry a clipboard or something.
Need to get rid of the over 50 turds! They are a safety hazard causing our insurance rates to shoot up and wages to stay the same.
There are so many positions that can be eleviated. We have several groups duplicating efforts. Doesn't make sense that we have so many non-essential functions/position.
You can walk through the manufacturing ares and there is virtually no activity whatsoever.
You can walk through the cubicle areas, and employees are doing nothing. Surfing the Internet, playing games or just flat out walking around making it look like they are doing something.
There is only a handful of employees that are actually getting work done.
People won't leave, why would they? Here they are getting a paycheck to do nothing.
Then we have the complainers who are doing something and complain about the ones that don't. But they get a descent wage so why would they leave.
I know so many people here that are looking for jobs, but they can't find another job that will pay them what they are making here. We have a lot of people that are overpaid for what they actually do. That's why they are hanging on and won't leave......
I don't blame them, just hang in there until they find another job or get laid off. Management is too stupid to see what employees are not performing and/or they have family and friends that they simply won't fire. Then you have HR that has to be political about how they go about hiring and firing.
Get edumicated and find a better job altogher..... big oil field service companies are simply too damn political, time have changes so much, that the degree is the new high school diploma and 45,000.00 a year is the new 80,000.00 a year.
Lessons on Motivation From Jack Welch
Tell people to never allow themselves to become victims. ... They should go somewhere else if that's how they feel.
Constantly refine your gene pool ... by promoting your best performers and weeding out your worst.
Grade on a curve. ... If I get 10 people, one is a star and one won't cut it.
Instead of giving people specific operating goals, challenge them to give you every growth idea they've got.
You can't just reward people with trophies. Reward them in the wallet, too.
Well, what has been said, there seems to be validity!
The way that our management, or shall I say, mis-management, operates, is very dismal to say the least.
We have managed to implement process and have written and re-written processes. It seems that they way they manage is to implement another process and re-invent the wheel.
All the while, we have lost focus on our products and services that we provide.
HR and HSE certainly reaped the bennifits and secured a position within the company, they are the entity that will make us feel good and keep us safe!!! Meanwhile our hands are tied and we can't even walk from the parking lot to the damn bathroom without someone doing an HOC because they thought or felt that something was done wrong.
Don't have any open discussions about anything for fear someone might take offense to the content of your personal conversations, you might come off as being out of line for making someone else feel uncomfortable, then you can get written up or walked out the gate!!!!!
We are at a point that we waiste more time, effort and funding on the gymnasiums, cafeterias, day cares and the things to coddle to employees. I am waiting for the safe space rooms and prayer rooms.... It coming, and when it does, you know that Halliburton is finished.
Someone said in a post below about government, well, spot on..... This is exactly the way that companies are being run,including Halliburton.
It seems that we have experienced the culture change over the years. We went from being a company that was people and product driven with excellent business integrity, to a company that is process driven where a monkey can run a PSL. The conservative business values have been exchanged for a liberal business value.
The older hands that Built Halliburton, have been and are almost all gone, replaced with uneducated liberal snow flakes that just want to be coddled.
Halliburton is going through a culture change, look at the successful oil field service companies. They are not run like we are and don't have an inexperienced management.
Hallelujah brother, It's time to re-live the 60's. All we need is flower power and throw this PC garbage and corporate mumbo jumbo on the scrap heap.
7eqa.....
No, we can't get along, the Consertive right have been silenced for too long, since the 60's.
We have allowed the liberal left, socialist, democrats to speak their mind and infest our children with their demented views for way too long.
It is time that we, the conservative, Americans, that believe in the core values, of the American way of life, that was laid out by our forefathers over 200 years ago in our Constitution and Bill of Rights, to stand up and be heard.
What is happening within Halliburton and ALL Fortune 500 companies, is the infestation of the liberal left, socialist values tearing the companies down.
This will continue until we stand up and say enough is enough, we are tired of being politically correct. Let's call it what it is.
The "dumbing down of America" is about to boil over and explode!!!!!!
A new revolution is on the horizon!!!!! We need to speak up now or be silenced forever!!!!!!
44.47, 44.47 just a dip in the road, dip in the road hold on tight cause a big bump may come up soon. 44.47 which way will it go? 45? 46? 44 or 43 ? i don't know, so don't aks me.
Hey f--- you jack
can't we all just get along ? We should all have a Pepsi. I'd like to teach the world to sing in perfect harmony mm mmm hummm mmm mmmm mmm mmm, da do dah dee dee.

Everything that you said, you're talking about yourself and All back on you, arshole!!!!
I drug up from Halli two years ago you DA....
I still have alot of friends at Halli, some have been there for a long time and just banking that money waiting to retire or get laid off with a handsome reward.... unlike yourself, which by the way, wheny they run your butt off you will probably work at Wallmart as a greeter....
i worked there long enough to know everything about how the management operates, everything, including RES.....
and as a matter of fact, i am running a business, a very successful business. and, i have time to respond to little turds like you on this here thread!
And yes, I do know the difference between YOU and Shinola. You are probably too young to even know what Shinola was! i will edgimicate you youngster.... Shinola used to be shoe polish, Black & Brown Only and started around 1901 in NY, now they manufacture all kinds of stuff, including shoe polish.... in no other than Shinola Detroit, Michigan
Now, get back under your bosses desk and cradle them balls!!!!
Put this company on the scrap heap it ain't goin nowhere. It's a dead man walking
I agree that company manement is sh--. But rather than piss and moan about it, f---ing quit! If you don't hate it bad enough (or you don't have balls enough) to quit, shut up and do your job.
The problem with this company is outright stupidity and childish bickering now get back to work rsoles
dooooooode - people like him are not the problem with this company.
To 6tqd...
You are exactly where you put yourself. If you don't have the balls to quit a company you hate, you're a pitiful excuse for just about anything. You've never run a business. You never will run a business because you can't even manage your own financials well enough to have starting money. You don't know sh-- from shinola about business and you're too chickenshit to quit. Loser. People like you are what's wrong with Halliburton. You're damned lucky to even have a job.
51hq - you should definitely put the effort into including more fiber in your diet.
To 51hq.......
WTF, we work for a company because we can't afford to run a business. We felt that a company like halliburton was a good company to work for. Like millions of other Americans, we all work for a business, company or someone.
But, this does not mean that we have blinders on and can't see the stupid crap that is going on or how the management sux.
Why don't you shut the Fock up and stop whining, get back under that desk and cradle those balls!!!!!!
The most incompetent management in the oilfield what a joke
Take everything to the scrap yard and shut this mess down. It's finished and game over.
Never mind the pay offs people are sick of working for a company that give nothing to the working man that's why lots of people are leaving in aberdeen especially the offshore guys see you never listen or never will pay scales are well below par and beyond so people move on to make more money see I am not a manager that still receives a monthly bonus it's about time the guys got a reward never mind quarterly results.
Not to forget investment in bss PSL as we lack well behind on equipment it's hard working with scrap
What a shambles of a company. It has no chance of survival.
With all these business savants here, I wonder why you haven't started your own business so you can run it any way you want? Could be ignorance. Could be fear. If it's money that's stopping you, you don't have as much business/financial savvy as you think. Or...maybe you're just a bunch of f---ing whiners.
How about executing another 3.5b loss
Excellent - since Jeffies post, stock is up over a dollar, well executed sir !
What a load of bull--it. Do you morons actually know what you're doing
Now, take note friends, a properly worded post should contain at least one usage of the word "execution", that is who we are and what we do. It is our defining mantra. Now, go forth and execute. Don't like something, unhappy with the cost of a crouton in the cafeteria? Do something. Develop a plan and execute the plan. Now see, there's two good examples right there.
That real estate bunch is bed enough ...... Definately don't need all those arrogant pricks......
And space rates should be cut immediatly!!!!
But what about the gymnasium, wtf..... Get rid of that darn thing. Why do we need that.
The cafeteria, shut it down.......
HR - why are they so arrogant and why so many????
HSE - lets clip their wings, they do nothing for the office environment. There are enough policies and procedures in place, get off your asses and get out there and make sure we are in compliance instead of shucking your responsibilities on others. It seems that all they have been doing the past couple years is re-inventing the wheel and taking credit for other people's work. They need to be out in the field where the damn work is!!!!!
Sell off all the PSL's that we were going to sell off during the BH debacle.
Take care of these and all the deadasses will be gone.
Start over, and restructure..... This should include restructuring the financials as well. Get away from the Enron Dave financial structure.
If we really want to turn things around, we need to take drastic measures.....
Move on.
Oh sh--, I better hide the yacht and all de cash
If only you knew the half of what's goin on you would be flabbergasted.
They'll never eliminate RES. That's where the big brass keeps their extra money from charging more for floor space than they should. RES is an unwitting pawn in the money game. They cut their budgets but not our rent. Where does that extra money go? For things like their yacht, deer lease, duck hunting camp, etc. Apparently our customers don't have COBC or they wouldn't be able to accept the gifts that run into the tens of thousands of dollars. A 3 day hunt on our deer lease is said to cost over $20K. Think Halliburton is okay with you accepting a gift like that?
We should get effective and efficient. And we should get rid of everything mentioned below.
But the chance of that happening is little to none
Right on 1pdj.....
GE doesn't have a Real Estate Services group, it is contracted out by CBRE, and they do an excellent job. No space rates, no BS beourocracy associated with that group and they answer to the procurement group.
GE has been successful I would say, at least they were able to negotiate a deal with BH.
BH has a group similar to our real estate services, but, they are much smarter and that don't have all the beourocracy either.
Halliburton on the other hand, our Real a estate Services group is a big money laundering scam to say the least. If you only knew all the shady crap that the management does, several of these executives would be in prison.
Yes, Real Estate Services should go away immediately.
But it won't happen because the way that the finance ministers a structured.
They hide profits, basic in house laundering scheme, and is a slush fund for the executives, politicians and bribes. Same thing that ol'Davy boy did at Enron....... Nothing is going to change until we hit rock bottom, get brought out and re-structure all together.
Halliburton has a cancer, and it is going to take a miracle to pull out of this slump.
Right now they still have a lot of assets to sell and layoff.
Good luck folks
