Bakersfield Downsizing
Departments not yet specified but numbers are in double digits
Managers and supervisors
I hated when managers walk around and act like there is nothing wrong! Supervisors walk up and down hall acting busy. We have no work going on, but yet they are ready to throw us under the BUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Signal Hill in Bad Shape
Sales down which is no surprise to anyone, but losing customers due to incompetence is the last straw.
Fishing & Rental Facilities Closed Down??
I worked for OFR for 5 years and WFT for 17 years--retired in 2012. Domestically speaking, what facilities have been closed down on the fishing & rental side? Just wondering about some good friends out there.

West Hardy and CT layoffs next week
The hatchet man (Dave College) will chop heads next week. I hope he gets the right people this time but I doubt it. He will protect his "son" Pickett even when he is worthless and unquified for the job. Probably backstabber, lying Gill and "yes" man... — read more
Derek Herndon - Saved by Daddy
I got the axe a while back, but still talk to a handful of guys at Creek Road. Sounds like Jeff, the machine shop "supervisor", protected his worthless, piece of sh-- son. I guess that's what happens when mommy and daddy enables him his entire life... — read more
Weatherford ALS has a buyer?
Rumor is they are furiously counting only ALS inventory due to possible sale. Although, I find it hard to believe they would sale ALS globally, they might be willing to part with the North American or just the US division. I've heard Benard bemoan... — read more
Farmington New Mexico
How many left in Farmington
And Now What?
WFT's executives and VP's built a quasi strategy based on the takeover of Baker by Halliburton. However, this deal is dead. So what now? I think Baker will be coming back, perhaps a little smaller, but stronger. Can WFT poor quality of service and... — read more
