WFT let go experienced and qualified people. At the same time, WFT is currently "hiring" internationals for similar jobs under the pretext that no qualified US citizens are available and WFT is spending tons of money on them to get their permits... — read more

Any remaining employees forced to take off and use vacation time this year? If so, how did management determine who, when and how much time?

I read chevron is axing some more employees in Bakersfield right now

Somebody oversold them on our performance and now its payback time Chinese style. Keep your heads down as they look for a scape goat to blame for another managerial f*** up.

None of that mattered when the ax started swinging though. I was one of the first let go last year when this massive layoff - that was only supposed to last though Q2...then Q3 2015, but a year later shows no real end in sight. I went through so many... — read more

I remember doing a lengthy research on how to make better three real good ideas and the project manager never even responded---pathetic.

600 more to be laid off soon the reast overseas!

Getting started early this morning. 2 drafters let go so far.

It's too bad that Bernard Duroc-Danner is incapable of running our company. Yes the O&G industry is in the shits, but he has done an excellent job of running WFT into the ground before the drop. I won't be surprised if we fold if oil doesn't rebound... — read more 

WFT needs to take a look at the habitants of the 7th floor they have nothing to do. The lazy ass gossips pretend to work but they just pass the buck around until they've got it so screwed up the vendor cuts us off. Someone needs to do a pay scale... — read more
