Did somebody say de-merger?
The ultimate Cost Out Initiative! Hack off the business Greg sold you five years ago. Wonder what the new logo will be like?
Brent resignations
Seeing quite a few Cell 1 guys finding new jobs but not many from Cell 3. Is that because the cell 3 guys aren't good enough to find a new job or are they being told by their wives they aren't allowed to leave?
Can somebody buy us?
That's the only way we could get competent management. I'd one hundred percent support any acquisition that would result in current leadership getting the axe. Even if it meant layoffs. It'd be worth it. I don't see any other way of getting rid of... — read more
Emmott Road facility Houston Texas
With these stupid GM supervisors that want to make a name for themselves by lying to management just to fire people that's the baker way no but is the suck a-s way these people work making points they don't care who is hurt that the core values they... — read more
Guys
How's it going TEAM? Alright guys, we need to think about the company right? We need to be a team and work together right? Remember when COVID started and everyone was told to stay apart and I asked you to work as much OT as possible right? That was... — read more
Montrose COE emails
What is the purpose of the COE “leader” sending out emails that everyone knows are b@@l@cks. This strike has been an absolute disaster for him. He is now the guy who single handed (unless you count his puppeteer) caused it to happen. We can all see... — read more
Picketers
I didn't see many picketers today. Hardly the 100 that are out on strike. Unite my ar-e. Picket line? Couldn't pick their own nose
Montrose COE.
It could all have been sorted out by mutual agreement months ago had it been handled differently. Everyone realises the state of the industry just now and would have been accommodating. The decision to threaten people with fire and rehire is out and... — read more
Montrose Promotions
Is it true that if you work in Cell 3 and aren't very good at your job it's quite easy to get a lead hand job or moved from being a fitter to QC?
Any thoughts on Fridays email from Sami?
Reading Fridays latest fantasy email you would think all is gong well. Any thoughts on this.
Is the company breaking up Tuesday?
Hear a big announcement is coming on Tuesday. Get your popcorn ready boys
Someone buy Sami an abacus
It’s clear to see that Sami isn’t good with real numbers, but how long will they leave it before senior management steps in to sort this mess out? It doesn’t take a genius to work out he will be wasting a lot more money than he is actually trying to... — read more
Office staff you're next?
What's with the 'Office Staff Your Next' placards with the picketers at Montrose? Are the office staff getting there shift allowance cut as well? 🤣
Demise of a once great company
I've got a front row seat
Montrose
How's the strike going on Montrose? Big turnout? Been offered a deal? Bottled it and signed the contract?
END OF DAYS !!!!
Baker didn’t want the strike and it will go away but there stupidly is beyond belief. The workers resentment for the management won’t go away so it’s clear that the end is nigh.
They don't even hide their favoritism anymore
It is not that there is no favoritism in other companies in the industry. It was also present in the previous companies where I worked. But this is where it got really frustrating. Have you noticed how now they don't even try to hide the fact that... — read more
Singapore chemical plant up and running
Anyone laying any bets how this will effect other manufacturing facilities in chemicals? (Clue : manufacturing oilfield and refinery chemical products is energy intensive)
Time to sell the Porsche!
The bubble has burst and none of you want to live in the real world any more!! No one striking when they were getting 2.9 overtime rates, but now there's no work they want to strike! Some loyality to the company wouldnt go a miss from Sami's minions... — read more

Montrose COE saving money
If Montrose COE is trying to save money shouldn't they be looking at how much wages they have paid out this year for workers on suspiension to stay at home and not work at all? Another simple one is workers coming in for OT without being asked and... — read more
Worst DS division in US
Baker has it on lockdown
Changing jobs internally
I need some change. I'm interested in your experiences with applying for internal postings? Is it easy to get an internal job? I know one person who regretted it and left the company shortly after applying for an internal position, but that was a... — read more
Aberdeen DS?
What’s happening to DS in Aberdeen, resignations now happening on a weekly basis, no jobs, no experience, schlumberger and Halliburton can’t get enough people for the amount of work they have..
UNITE!!
Stand up to these b*st&rds, enough is enough! I for one would certainly rather see the site close it’s doors than carry on letting management sh@g us up the @rs£!! The place has been on a downward spiral since it became BH and it is only going to... — read more
Very well paid
How many people working at Montrose COE realize how well they are paid? £60, 70, 80, 90, 100K+ a year and ready to let BH shut down the facility because of losing a few shifts a month. A job with less money is better than no job at all. If they do go... — read more
Who’s all up for crossing the picket line?
Strike action is futile!
Career progression
My plan is to leave soon because I realized that I will only be wasting my time here. Purely out of curiosity, I am interested in how much your career has progressed since you came here?

MCR start time
If I move from MBA to MCR is it still ok for me to turn up late and not do a handover until my team have been standing around doing no work for 45 minutes? Asking for a friend.
Does ombuds do anything? Is it worth calling?
Artificial lift in claremore desperately needs an investigation team to comb through management at this place. The plant is getting closer and closer to a breaking point it seems and management has no clue while they play their games and act like... — read more
What does "toxic work environment" mean to you?
There are many things that make a workplace toxic. Some mention that Baker is an extremely toxic place, but not why they think so, that is, what is it that makes this place so toxic? Among the many reasons, I would single out the lack of... — read more
Scam CEO
Looking like he's running out of BS excuses
I would like at least one day without drama
There is always some drama here, always some tension. Issues that can be resolved very easily and very quickly, are unnecessary turned into drama by our superiors. Why??? I'm not sure if it's their incompetence or if they use it as a way to show ... — read more
Emmott rd facility
I think this place will go down the drain with these mediocres way of thinking specially with these supervisors that don’t know what there doing…
Sami Screwed Up !!!!!
Why couldn’t the man just leave it alone , if it ain’t broke don’t try and fix it. The men are being squeezed by the government now BH want there pound of flesh as well. The men have asked for nothing they are only sticking up for what they already... — read more
Culture in this place
Before I got the job here, I worked at several companies in the industry, each of which had its own issues, but the culture in general was nowhere as bad as here. It's hard to even explain what's wrong with the culture here. How would you describe... — read more
