Thread regarding Baker Hughes layoffs

Constructive criticism vs sarcasm, the tool of the weak minded.

I have read through this forum from time to time for the past 3 years. I see mainly sarcastic criticism of the company and its Sr. Leaders. I have always thought sarcasm is the ultimate tool for the weak minded individual to continuously bring negativity into an organization or personal relationship.

All I have to say is what would you honestly do if you could make change in this organization while growing margin and market share?

This company could use more stupid wisdom. Come on. This thread is about sarcasm. You Scots claim to have it embedded in your singular DNA. And yet almost zero sarcasm. And do you know why murder crimes are never solved in Aberdeen? There are no dental records and the DNA is all the same. Thanks Blue Collar Comedy.

Hire McKinsey Management Consultants with newly graduated MBA's to do a one year study. BHGE will then go into the top tier of Harvard case studies.

Putt's Law states that "Technology is dominated by two types of people: those who understand what they do not manage and those who manage what they do not understand."

Putt's Corollary: "Every technical hierarchy, in time, develops a competence inversion, "with incompetence being "flushed out of the lower levels" of a technocratic hierarchy, ensuring that technically competent people remain directly in charge of the actual technology while those without technical competence move into management. Either Putts Law, Dilbert's Law or Murphy's Law, or a combinations of all three apply to BHGE.

Horizontal not vertical management structure, too many managers who don't know what they are trying to manage. Stop hiring ex Schlumberger people, you can't take a part out of a Rolls Royce and expect it to work in a Ford, grow organically.

OK boys 2 openings for your sarcasm. 1. Horizontal and 2. Organically

Let's see some Scottish wit.

"I have always thought sarcasm is the ultimate tool for the weak minded individual". Thanks, you have just insulted the entire Scottish nation! Self-depracation and sarcasm run in oor blood. Americans don't understand or appreciate either.

shut it down and put us out of our misery. the management produce spreadsheets and hse crap that is a joke. the amount of blame that is passed on to the shop floor is shocking. shut it down and then when they are at the job centre with the rest of us they might wise up. ( too late)
