CB&I still recruiting?!?

CB&I is asking a good friend of mine to join them in a fairly senior position. Is what I'm seeing from the posts on this site indicating a) a sinking ship or b) changes necessary to turn it around?

I'm surprised existing redundancies can't be repurposed. Or is it just that older, very loyal employees just cost too much and need to go regardless? The layoff goal is stated in dollars. Not headcount. Not skills. Not vision for a more efficient workforce. Just dollars.

No leadership. The left hand does not know what the right hand is doing!

CB&I cannot recruit quality talent. Nobody with skills wants to work for these crooks. If I was your friend I would stay away. It is his/her life.

We don't have enough people to meet our layoff targets so we need to hire up.
