Even if there were no debt...

Our margins are not even enough to cover payroll. The company will be broken up and what can’t be sold will be shut down. Don’t believe all the rubbish that it’s all down to the debt as it’s not. There is allot wrong and it’s not just management... — read more

Empty shelves, cutting up inventory

WFT continues to cut up perfectly good and sometimes new tools and equipment for the 'smoke and mirrors effect' of increasing ROI. Woooo to the creditor that might believe they have an interest in inventory to secure their loan. It is often quite... — read more

The vicious cycle

I remember in 2012 when they woke up to the fact that burning through cash and just issuing more debt wasn’t going to work much longer. Unfortunately, it was too late at that point as they didnt act fast enough, didn’t do enough, and then the crash... — read more

Slb rejects

We hired way too many Slb rejects in management. They were laid off by Slb and what have they accomplished for WFT? In 12 days the delisting and bankruptcy process begins. This was all avoidable.

Chart your own course ! Absolute joke.

These executive management teams are either delusional or they are outright lying. Management positions are reserved for freinds and family and not having field experience is preferred. These guys are hilarious.

Will the layoff.com layoff WFT?

It appears that in order to have a layoff.com site the company stock needs to be trading on the NYSE? If true, does that mean the layoff.com will layoff WFT when the stock is delisted?
