Thoughts? Any Halliburton layoffs? Any chatter, news or rumors?

I'm asking about those of us who were laid off, not fired? I've been applying but I never got any responses. I can't see a reason for it - considering my qualifications and experience - other than that I've been blacklisted when I was laid off. It'd... — read more

You are not actually required to fill out the covid vaccination survey. There is no law or policy that requires you to give Halliburton your medical information. Most states they operate out of have barred mandating the vaccine so not sure what they... — read more

Anyone have any inside info on if Halliburton is planning to mandate the vaccine? With TX banning mandates by any entity, not sure how they could. Since a large part of their business is in TX they can't really do it for one location but not others... — read more 

I really appreciate the new young employees and I think there are great people among them who have great ideas. Unfortunately, it seems to me that they are exceptions now. Most young people, like my new colleague, do not want to learn and develop new... — read more 

This is not news, it’s their way of doing business in general

I’ve worked hard and feel like I’m underpaid for the job I’m doing and lately I’ve been thinking about asking for a raise. I know a person who asked for a raise and actually got a raise, but I also know a person who asked for a raise and it turned... — read more

So will Halliburton bow to Biden's EO for all employers with over 100 employees to mandate the vaccine? Considering an executive order only applies to the executive branch and is not law, private employers would only voluntarily comply. It will... — read more 

Where did all the depts and people go from Carrollton, Texas? So sad they closed the facility.

While there is all this talk about Halliburton looking for cheap labor, I found out that new hire makes more than I do. That person with little to no experience in the industry was offered more than me even though I have been in this company for... — read more

Mark Richard is the kiss of death for Halliburton. He is a micro manager who is running the place into the ground. He hates being questioned and managers under him are required to stroke his ego on the daily. Absolutely ridiculous. He will be the... — read more 

It's a joke how little senior management pays attention to the rapidly growing turnover and all the experience and institutional knowledge we're losing through it. That's something that can't be replaced by just adding another warm body into the mix... — read more 

Keep up the great work!!! I have never been busier in my decade long run in the TX oilfield. Averaging well over 100 hrs a week . It’s Just too bad I now work for a competitor that doesn’t turn DP into fence posts.

With cases in Houston shooting through the roof why no calls from HAL to return to a WFH model? All we get are emails from Summer Condarco saying Vaccines are the ONLY way to stay safe.

So....is this gonna happen or what?

RUN. Run as quickly and as far as you can. You'll thank me later.

Email came out today with info on the survey results. They claimed numerous times the survey was anonymous, however, the email states "we learned much of our office based employees are vaccinated". If the survey is anonymous, how do they know what... — read more

The vaccine survey request is NOT REQUIRED. That terminology is used only to persuade you to comply. Again, IT IS NOT REQUIRED. Having a vaccine is not a requirement of your job! You DO NOT have to answer the survey.

I have heard such comments many times, that our processes are very antiquated, which is the absolute truth. Why is it like that? Why does Halliburton want to be a dinosaur company? Is it so difficult or impossible to make positive changes in this... — read more 

The Halliburton Communications email corporate sent out today was ominous. Next week everyone gets surveyed and then afterwards comes the company-wide vax mandate regardless of the results.

How long will it take to receive your 401k/retirement plan from Halliburton after leaving?

So I'm curious to know what any "still standing" employees think of the recent remote work policy and why the the sudden reversal on dress code. Thoughts?

I know, the reasons are multiple, but it’s really shocking to me that the company isn’t even trying to keep at least young talented people. It should try to keep all skilled employees, but it is one of the few companies that does nothing to prevent... — read more
