Is Blake's time finally up?

There is a rumour that the shareholders are asking for a meeting Blake to answer questions as they are unhappy with the progress of the restructure and proceeding with the center's of excellence.

Congratulations on being a centre of excellence.

VP Jim G. is a good man honest, straight forward, knew his business, and cared for people. He was not part of the dream team ( more like nightmare ) . More companies have failed than succeeded when Manufacturing is being run by a bean counter as Mr. Bird will find out. Blake better watch that Bird doesn't try to replace him on the board. Just observation from a outsider.

"Here is a fact. You aren't very bright."

WOW LOL! Did you fish that one out of the book of insults for 5 year old?

No. It is a statement of fact not an insult.

Centres of excellence was alway going to fail. It failed at GE, it failed at Cameron’s and if will fail at Dril-Quip. We don’t build cars. We are not Toyota “although some think differently”. Get Big Jim back before it’s to late.

Jim would of never let this happen if it wasn’t for tweety getting his claws into Blake and quite clearly trying to make the company a takeover target.

As for Jim being retired, yeah he’s about as retired as Hatton is popular

The clock is certainly ticking on his time in dq is these centre of excellence’s don’t pay off. He had employed enough new vp’s to push it all thru but unfortunately it all seams to be stalling. They have till the 1st July before these centres go live, from what we can see no one is ready. All these promises and sorry to say it looks like it’s failing.

Not so sure? Supposedly?

Just state the facts. If you can’t then stifle yourself.

Not so sure it is fake news. Although he has apparently retired they have supposedly asked for Big Jim's version of events as he has a lot of support on the board and amongst the shareholders.
