So the good engineers in Tyler could still jump ship. Other engineering firms have their sharks circling, waiting to snatch them up. Tyler has cream of the crop Process guys. If they lose those guys Tyler will be in trouble.

Only silver lining for CB&I employees now is that McDermott wants to have a functional on-shore group and they should try to preserve the workers bees. Otherwise, if CB&I let people go at the current pace, there will not be an onshore group left. At... — read more 

CB&I is full of crooks in management, why would anyone want to buy them. Notice nobody in the business bought them, they knew better. Treat your employees with respect.

CBI was purchased by McDermott for the technology Wake people! Is Deal is bad for both McDermott took on big debt they can't afford!

Just wondering if anyone else thinks it wrong that they made us put in our time today for WE 12-24-17, so they could have it all approved by noon CST. And they threatened that if you don't that your check may be incorrect or delayed.

CB&I has created a hostile environment with their poor work ethics. I am really surprised someone has not sued them yet.

Take a look at the McDermott CB&I thread on this site. Looks like management at CB&I will have it coming to them in the not so near future. Ouch!!

Starting to feel like a used up h--ker as many times as we get passed around over here at Sunland. We just want some damn work, and get flurry the hell out of here.

It's a buyout by McDermott CBI is GONE!

McDermott is overseas and offshore. Cbi is onshore. McDermott needs an engineering dept. Cbi has one. Tech is worth a Mint. This new company will get a new name. Be more robust and provide way more than cbi alone without tech. It’s a win win.

Hey folks read between the lines McDermott ownership. cbi CEO is history equals they bouc technology CBI bought 6 billion dollar loan to settle debt equals cbi Gone

There you have it. You've seen it here on thelayoff.com last week first. Then someone posted again a day ago. So much for all of those who say this site is fake news - we'll see what happens and how things transpire, no matter what happens there will... — read more 

SOMEONE GOT THE GREEN AND WEINEY THE JOKE IS ON MCD

Despite my UH degree and my years of exeperience as a CBI PM. I'm failing to see how we can combine 2 market caps at ~2 Bn a piece and come up with 6 bn? Can someone help me with the math?

be sure and read the entire news release. $250 million in additional cost synergies - this means MORE LAYOFFS - as it is in addition to the $100 million in savings already underway by CBI.

Came in just long enough to make a mint. He and Asherman will be golfing within a few months.

I’m excited about this, and this will help put the past where it belongs! Glad we’re keeping Technology!

So The Who is McDermott- the What ia CBi- really didn’t think there was anyone that stupid out there to buy the whole toxic dump site. Marketing must already be out the door with that press release. Bye bye big sorry executives- they don’t need your... — read more 

Lawsuits and No Government Bail Out Close the doors and $$$$ to upper management

Colombian lawsuit... Georgia Power lawsuit... Cameron LNG project over transportation... Huge class action lawsuit over overtime... No government bailout here boys and girls just more and more corruption at the top....

Does anyone know about the class action lawsuit at the Cameron LNG project over transportation not being paid?

Any guesses on the big announcement?

You won’t regret it.

If the rumours are true tomorrow we hear the faith of the co It is about time and whatever will happen it will be better. We still have 1 guy actually doing the job and 20 incompetent managers on top of that booking time to overhead. Most of those... — read more 

Two birds. One stone. Nice shootin', The Shaw Group.

Reliable source says we will all be working for Honeywell next week, not just EP and LHT. Seems PM and management are ready for another big Christmas bonus! Buckle up.

The person I work for only cares about one thing, looking good to her superiors, at any cost and without regard to her employees. To this person an employee is only a tool for her to use to or I should say abuse to show the higher ups her... — read more 

CLNG field staff have been told that big news is coming on the 18th. What is breaking on Monday?

Maybe we need to start looking to competitors to see what we can do right. I think it's comical that the green cross medal from 2015 still sits outside the main lobby when safety has most definitely taken a back burner. I think 6 or 7 ppl died onsite... — read more 

PM started his reign with emails, town hall and videos. Radio silence since. In fact I haven't seen any executive leadership in the hallways in months. Would go a long way to get some communication, any communication.

If you are here spreading bs about CBI closing, being sold, going bankrupt, or any of the other stupid rumors I have seen, the company is better without you. Yes, some sh--ty decisions by past managers, but we need to do exactly what we are doing -... — read more
