Thread regarding Halliburton Co. layoffs

The culture change has taken place.

1. POP is the buzz word that has taken over conversations rather than having a solid contract to get paid fairly.

2. Failure resolution, how do we frame it where it isn't our fault.

3. No employee review process, it is totally optional and at your managers choice.

4. The new shiny tool will fix everything instead of fixing what we have on in the field now on 75% of our jobs

You sir are an id--t. - The young Halluburton workers are the future. Do not listen to the good ole boy dinosaurs. Young workers who know NOTHING about the job or equipment. Yes they will be in their time but if there is no mixture then the knowledge isn’t getting past down. That’s why we s--- out in the field because 3/4 of the people out there are winging it and hoping for the best.

Fleet services was hit this week. North American Landmark offices closures the last few days. Total of about 20 people. I know of 15 Houston employees so far and it ain't over yet. This is gonna be some ride down.

Landmark PSL got hit this week. Details are low. A few from R&D for sure.

Like I said I think it'll hold until 3rd quarter. After that it'll be cutting time. North American market is dead right now. Someone hold me and tell me it'll be alright ;_;

stock at 22.52 - baker and schlum the last 2 standing ? wow, who would have guessed that.

I forgot to mention it was El Reno, OK Field Camp. Down from 20 crews to 10 crews out of there. Supposedly a crew got laid off over the weekend. 10 E-TEchs or so today.

What location was hit today? 10??? Wow

Halliburton is a messed up company to work for. I got laid off today along with 10 other electronics technicians. They will never get any of us back again. One with 42 years.

stock going sub 20, getting bad ....

Come on, just one reset button to close shop. No need to do so many rounds of layoff.

Good luck....only smiles I see theses days are from the naive and the ones looking forward to leaving.

The young Halluburton workers are the future. Do not listen to the good ole boy dinosaurs. They may have 25 to 30 years in with Halliburton and they are trying to coast to retirement. Notice they are not leaving but they want you to depart the company. Granted Miller has taken a risk or gamble if you will by surrounding himself by these workers.

At the end of the day it's still tough in the oilfield service sector.
