Still waiting on this so called redundancy letter that's meant to be coming everyone way. Looks like it's a pile of pish.

Been down cuz he stay down. Bend over the booboo and fa-t the stank out. Pride month baby. Meet me in the toilets.

A few years back I wouldn’t believe this company could be like it is today. I admire all the talented people who are still here and tolerate the charlatanry that some have established here as the norm. It seems to me that some people who are “very... — read more 

Any news? Is everyone from Aberdeen going?

Does anyone have an annual retrospective of how many people have worked here say 5 years back? It would be interesting to see annual attrition data. My subjective feeling is that so many people have never left voluntarily as they have lately, so... — read more 

I dont believe the layoffs are true. Not heard anything but rumours and nothing to back it up with.

Any truth to rumors about possible June layoffs?

I thought earlier that the story of the people employed here without being able to fulfill the job description was a bit exaggerated, until I got a colleague for whom it is by no means clear to me how he got the job here at all. I’m glad for everyone... — read more

I think it will just be one or two more trips for us all before we get our redundancy letters.

It should be a movie like Wolf of Wall Street, except we see the Grapemaster making broken promises, lying to all his workers and holding garbage Christmas gathering in the back of a filthy building. It closes with him running the company into the... — read more

So glad I called in from this piece of cr–p job to go see Mortal Kombat today. Time to see blood, guts and bo––y

Catastrophe today in FMC trial. DQ caught covering up theft of FMC IP....more to come.

Why would anyone want to get laid off? I work the bare minimum, I have time for hobbies outside of work, I'm slowly looking at what kind of jobs are offered... It's not ideal here, but I don't intend to be one of those who constantly complain like... — read more 

I haven’t heard of anyone here getting laid off for a while now, so I relaxed quite a bit and almost didn’t think about the layoffs anymore. Maybe it's a calm before the storm?

I can't wait to get laid off. It’s become so hard for me to work here that I can’t take it anymore. Motivation is zero. I hope that those who predict the next round in 6–8 weeks are right, because that's about all the patience I have left. Nothing is... — read more

Very often, I have people from the industry coming up to ask me about how’s our company doing? / what’s the EBITA? / why the low morale? / how’s the wine yard? / what’s Dril Quip’s Power of E? To the last question.. I searched high and low for an... — read more 

the government has open up returning to work, no more wfh

The issue of staying in this company is ultimately a matter of self respect. That's how it is nowadays. It used to be different and there were better people and a better atmosphere. It is becoming increasingly clear to me that those old times will... — read more 

How has the states allowed this guy to ruin the machine shop ? I just don’t understand why BU has made it this long

It is as clear as day what is going on in DQE , The guys that are being kept are purely there to prep as much of the stuff lying around ahead of it being shipped elsewhere , theres emails out on the very day redundancies are being confirmed... — read more 

Now that the so called machine shop foreman is gone I wonder if the place will flourish . BU may well have ruined it . What’s everyone’s thoughts ???

After many job applications, I got to the interview stage at an oil company that has a terrible reputation (because of layoffs) and another smaller energy company that is not doing much better with regards to this matter. Maybe the smartest decision... — read more 

Must be more toilets than staff now! Be a new Aldi in it's place before we know it!

When’s everyone due to get culled ? I’m assuming no consultation if under 20

Is it just me or did dril quip go down the pan soon as it took 20 guys to look at a sticker board every morning ?? Looking at something they didn’t understand ???

What is it I'm hearing, are the redundancies in focus again? How many people this time? What will remain of the former DQ? I still stop by this forum sometimes just to see how the things are going, but all I can do is give a little support, if... — read more
