Thread regarding Halliburton Co. layoffs

Offshore uk

I work for contractor and visit many rigs both offshore & onshore and stood over and watched a division of halliburton baroid dealing with cuttings waste material which is very hard work all round and to me makes the job even harder for the guys as it seems they lack correct equipment moving forward ie lack of investment as they say there is equipment on the market which comptetors have to remove high risks and manual handling these guys body's shall not last no time at all as potential to cause health issues.

I did speak to 1 guy asking if ever job is run like this and his reply was it does not matter what job or rig your on it's more or less the same very hard and after 3 weeks doing this and other dutys not only am I tired but the hole crew.

I felt terrible how these guys can keep up but also the salarys they receive along with day rate whilst offshore.

Surely a large company like baroid hallburton should be taking there workers on and act on these concerns that crews have / pay increase along with day rate would be a good start then look at purchasing equipment that helps to do job correctly you cannot be safe if the investment is not there

I have also seen these boys operation offshore and I must agree these supvs and operators are run ragged with out dated equipment no stop operation boys keep going like this then this will lead to early retirement due to health conditions firstly arthritis with no cure.

Totally shocked by way boys are paid salary along with day rate/ upper management should be ashamed of this along with equipment you want people to operate

These men deserve better and I am sure many will move on to company's that are better equipped and pay people correctly

My opinion would be this company shall lose plenty contracts before they win any.

GET AWAY FROM BSS

Poor performance from management along with tp s for bss aberdeen unless your 1of the offshore favourites plenty boys stuck at home as no work offshore as the market goes to other companies whom have better investment.

This is why I left for better wages but most importantly investment going forward.

I would not think to long before more pay offs

It seems that the guy with the last comment yet again has no clue as he is getting confused regarding buses they are run by first bus and not aberdeen city council if he is unsure check it out.

It could be that this complainer that he has been on many buses but got caught licking the windows as it seems he knows it all

Are you yes man for halliburton and scared to ask for benefits that staff are entitled to

No wonder the company won't give you a pay rise you're thick as mince. No-one said anything about driving a bus offshore. Aberdeen city council are looking for bus drivers you clown. Next time you're driving behind a bus look for the advert displayed on the back of the bus.

Success is not all about money would this be the honest words of our leader jeff miller.

If it is not all about money why would it be that Baroid solids control are lacking when it comes to new technology as we are well behind the times when it comes to major contracts.

What we need is changes all over Bss

1st changes to level management

2nd new investment on equipment

3rd. Big improvement on salary along with offshore day rates.

And finally listen to the world force

Lack of equipment that does the job to remove manual handling risks also stops bss offshore staff having there body parts worn down.

Mi have the correct equipment so why does Bss not have the same equipment

I will tell you why as halliburton do not care about staff nor how long your body lasts

The North Sea is dying and the only future for it is decommissioning old platforms. Those still working on North Sea rigs are the losers in life earning small change. The days of earning big bucks offshore are long gone.

Why would Halliburton spend the money to make the field hands job easier? Hell, if it was good enough for Old Earl P., it is certainly good enough for you, so quit your b--ching.

Nothing wrong with digging thru the trash skips, or begging a tool from the rig mechanic so you can do your job, management's philosophy is that IF we bought you the tool, YOU would just lose it, or break it, because YOU are such an incompetent a--, and anyways, ALL you do is sleep, eat, and look at p--n while you are offshore.

Do YOU really think that management gives a rat's a-- about YOUR working conditions, after all, money spent means less bonuses.
