I know a wizard that will grant wishes for a bj..... hopefully he doesn’t blend in with the homeless man keeping your wife warm.
Try get people with some intelligence in management not the usual sxxxbags
short answer to original post - you, we - don’t....
It’s to far gone to bring back.
Boy that last comment about sh$&@ from shinola really hit the nail on the head old baker guy, I suspect your from Canada! Nicely put!!
Rusty Brice was the LAST Executive that understood the Oilfield Chemical Business. Then they brought in Rod Clarke as President of BPC, ................didn't know Shi% from Shinola!!! and kicked Rusty aside. Rod was another Sperry buddy of Chad Deaton. Clarke began the downfall of Baker Petrolite, and the Baker One BS took it down even further. It is nothing but a former shadow of itself, and what it could have been. Very sad when people like Martin Bighead only cared about their pockets rather than the company. Upper Management is now run by theorists, rather than those who understood the business, because they once had boots, coveralls, and oil under their finger nails! Unfortunately those days are over and will not be back.
Good laugh in the pub about this unbelievable mess.
had to get rid of that old school because they useless specially in that stoneywood.
Hey did you lose all yur work or just most of it 😂😂😂
Management in aberdeen office was really thats why auld school got kicked out what a mess.
Martin and all his Baker Atlas hi-pot's made a mess of this company.
One has to really laugh at other companies picking up some of these people in management roles.
Management didn’t know what they were doing that’s obvious. That’s why the mess.
Back when it was Baker Performance Chemicals, anybody remember Rusty Brice, that’s when it was the best
Those of at GE O&G who thought that things couldn’t get worse under BH are now eating our own words.
Seems the crash of 2016 has resulted in few, if any lessons learnt.
Micro Management from over bloated top level Jobsworths , combined with an attitude that bureaucracy is a good thing, have left us uncompetitive in an ever increasingly competitive market.
Those with the know how smelt the coffee ,took the King’s Shilling & cleared off, leaving us with the hangers on, Family & Friends, & the Kindergarten New Starts that don’t know their arse from their elbows.
Until the swamp is drained from the top, we will remain stuck with Prehistoric Brass who think the only way forward is to treat people like c-ap to skim a few bucks to make their next Bonus, because it’s the only thing they know.
Sorry Gang – the future looks bleak until we get Brass who know a thing or two about teamwork.
So many good quality BHI people who were let go and now scattered across the industry to competitors and start ups. So much knowledge gone from BHGE.
Old school management lost big contracts and it started going down the toilet. Too late serves them right. Slb and Hal are the big players and BHGE are a joke getting worse. Stoneywood lost ton of work through bad management.
You’d have to go back quite aways in my opinion. In my opinion things started going down hill after Baker-one - long before GE. That whole fiasco screwed up management so bad esp at the top. Then came the failed Hal buyout and now GE who is a complete mess. Lorenzo needs to go too. The other two issues are lack of long term vision and the shameless promotion all for diversity sake. Not sir this is correctable until GE divests.
What a shame a great company taken down and for what? So some millionaire clown can drive around in the Woodlands in his grey Porsche drinking sissy Starbucks drinks.
Baker Hughes was losing money and had poor performance in 2015 and 2016 which was long before GE came into the picture. Granted it was a tough time in the industry. Who were the BHI managers then? Who were the BHI managers in 2016, 2017, 2018 and now?
GE and Lorenzo must take a hard look at the remaining management Martin put in place. Martin is gone now and he is not giving them direction or orders to follow. These Martin managers were getting performance bonus's are poor performance. There is too much talent on the streets for qualified oilfield service management. GE can pick up a lot of talent from the more successful company's. Also Lorenzo needs to be cautious about picking up some of the BHI good ole boys close to retirement. They really do not care about the future or the business. They are playing off of GE's fears of trying to keep BHI together as they figure out the strategy forward for divesture. This once great company was not sidelined by GE as so many like to think but by the greed of Martin and his management team that are now gone and also those Martin hand picked managers still working for BHI GE. A very hard truth and Happy Saint Patrick's Day.
