See you kiddies in the bread line !!!!
Credit Stop
All company credit cards were cut off the end of last week by the Bank of Montreal
Bankruptcy Tomorrow or Wednesday?
It’s coming... brace yourself should be within the next 24-48 hours.
McDermott@Walker
Enough with the smoke and mirrors "we will tell you all about it it next week, next month, next year" I can't take all of the lies and BS anymore. Besides that now that McDermott is going bankrupt we could all be out of a job by the end of the month... — read more
Say NO to any more private placement share issues. We've been diluted enough already.
Need to better manage the resources we have. Can also borrow a few more tranches if necessary and stop the gifting of directors under the guise of "retention bonuses." If directors and board members want to leave, nobody outside our sphere will... — read more
Make Tough decisions ASAP
Cut main office overhead salaries by 25%. I have heard many personnel are overpaid. Many will unbelievably stay because they cannot find another job paying near the cut or will not leave their comfort zone. Good talent will leave so prepare to... — read more
Not sure why these guys in the board haven't considered a private placement stop gap fix.
They could issue say 700 or 800 million shares to come up with some cash to at least stem the tide. Get their credibility back and pay some vendors for crying out loud. If necessary, they could do it again later if needed. What are they waiting... — read more
By next year, it all might be a memory. The Hedge Fund derivative guys smell blood.
What happens when there's just no more cash available ? And you cant borrow another dime ? You bust the joint out, that's what. I expect them to ransack and sell off everything in pieces starting with Lummus and finishing with everything that... — read more
After the new year, we'll have to climb the same wall of worry.
Will our stock become delisted ? Will they keep the insane open floor plan for common employees like me ? Will they lay me or any of my coworkers off ? Will we they make payroll ? Will they get a buyer for Lummus ? Questions Questions... — read more
Merry Christmas to everyone ! Hopefully less of us have been getting canned during the past week.
Thanks everybody !!!! Those of you who have been reduced you have my sympathies !!!!!!
Smoke and Mirrors at OMC
The quality vendors and subs have gone unpaid out here where the company generates money. Apparently, the sweat dripping masses should push on so our crown jewel, OMC is fully stocked with coffee. Those of you complaining about open floor plans... — read more
Layoffs?
Anyone else heard that McDermott is laying people off?
More layoffs going into the end of the year
Is anyone else hearing of another round of layoffs going into the end of the year? Or is it select and performance related? Seems like they're starting tearing down some old fiefdoms.
Current sale of Lummus unlikely. Offers less than 15 million so Tranche C&D financing will be needed.
Just remember that DD has vision for a ONE McDermott scheme !
Feltham Wages
I hear some Wages have not been paid in London Feltham Office . Any truth Ruth ?
Positive Productivity Gains at Eldridge with Open Floor Plan.
Some employees don’t like the open floor plan because they say it cramps their privacy, but the collaboration benefits are enormous and the only reason many don’t like it is because they would prefer to surf the internet all day, which isn’t cool. ... — read more
Wages not paid in Middle East
Marine and dive crew wages not paid for a lot of people in the Middle East many not been paid for weeks /months in some cases no information from management in Dubai or Housten, complete Lack of respect for employees.
I’m not a fan of open floor work arrangements we have on Eldridge.
We need cubicles and privacy. I don’t like this new arrangement at all. They say we will collaborate better and that our productivity will go up. I say it will lead to increasingly bad moods. Of course they will tell us there’s the door if we... — read more
Lummus sale proceeding?
There is rising speculation that Lummus bids are coming in at acceptable levels. Whether the banks let us off the hook is another matter, but it's a positive if true.
Leadership team is thining out
Leadership team seems to be turning over (SS, SA, SM). Technip cronies, what's happening? Wonder if we're about to see some even bigger changes.
What then?
If McDermott does file bankruptcy, what will happen to this big Cameron job about to kick off?
There is no money left. Can’t make the interest payments. HQ construction halted. Stock plunging. Bankruptcy is here!
There’s the door !
Jail time for ExCom
We're going from future is bright to bankruptcy in what has to be record time. SEC is investigating the disclosures around Cameron LNG. I wonder if DD, SS or others will end up in jail for fraud. Whistle blowers?

Circling the drain now
I think we're going to find out fairly soon what the other side of bankruptcy looks like. Life will go on.
