I feel a sense of redundancy.

With the new formation of BHGE in the market place now, I want to make the first prediction.....
Halliburton will probably start shedding the fat by end of Q3 and Q4 is going to be a nightmare for several thousand employees.
Halliburton has to take drastic measures to compete in this market. There is simply no way that we can compete if we continue to operate this way.
Changes must be made across the board.
Start with our accounting practices, they need to get that corrected pretty damn fast before legal issues arise. And they need to stop the practice of paying those damn space rates and stop funneling and funding the slush fund. There is a fine line between money laundering and corporate accounting practices.....
Get rid of the Real Estate Services
Then address our so-called Quality Assurance
Then HSE
Then our so-called HR
This should correct several of the immediate problems and then we can start building to compete. We have so much overhead and assets that is driving our cost up that we simply can't compete any more. Halliburton's management arrogance has caught up with us and we are going to start to reap the harvest.
Halliburton- The Arrogant Company
Nicely put, but THAT will NEVER happen because it would be tantamount to these arrogant bozo's acknowledging their mismanagement. Bozo Bozo always laughs never frowns Bozo Bozo Bozo the clown. Bozo Bozo Always right never wrong Bozo Bozo They been here too long.
I have been saying this for years.....
If we want to be successful, management needs to cut all the unnecessary layers of management, and positions where we have several differant groups working on the same thing, duplicating efforts and introducing too much beourocracy in to our job scope.
Can't change what has already been don, we lost a lot of good people in the past two years, but, we still have a lot of ignorance to cut.
Put our feelings aside and get rid of the fat. Yes, they might be good people, because t they are nothing but a weight dragging us down. It is time to let them go and possibly reconsider hiring back some of the older experienced managers and hands that were let go. Especially when work place politics were involved.
We can be just as productive with a lot less people.
Halliburton was on some kind of hiring frenzy for the past 15 plus years, now it is time to fix this!!!
I work for a company that don't care about nothing even me
I think that Spidey is correct on the redundancy call.
HR may be looking at all the folks that are in the Completions PSL, Drilling Fluids PSL, and the Consulting group. One could say that there is still a lot of fat to cut in those areas.
For Halliburton to truly grow and be an integrated company it must balance out its workforce and not be so heavy on the C&P and C&PM.
Look all of these folks are great people but really the way this "right sizing" thing has been going is a little ridiculous and unwise. We all go play golf and fish with them. Forget business for a moment and making a profit. We have a lot of our buddies we have been protecting for so long.
Looks like an opportunity. Lets think about the future.
Halliburton Co (HAL.N) is in late-stage talks to acquire a fast-growing U.S. oilfield equipment supplier backed by Oklahoma energy and banking billionaire George Kaiser, according to sources familiar with the matter.
Now, that is funny
