So we were told today we’re only get 2.5% increase this year. That won’t even touch the inflation we’ve all faced over the last couple of years. This is crazy.

They shut down second shift. No one is talking. Can’t see this circus lasting much longer.

The former CEO announced his retirement last year. Since that day, there has been a steady climb to produce a 40% increase. Coincidence? Can't blame the war in Iran since it's only gone up a little bit since then.

Nothing about this place will shock me anymore. Expect a live able wage.

Or let me put it another way, any credible news on more cuts?

How much longer will this outfit last till its bankrupt or bought out? 5 years, 10, ???

Multiple layoffs in different groups.

NOV always claims their 'Workforce is Like Family.' Then, when they hit a bump-in-the-road, family is slashed down to the bone, meanwhile, upper management still gets their bonuses.

How are those bonuses?

I believe in an effort to reduce costs they have now sold the offices to another company. Whilst the office space was always too large, despite grand plans from the management team, selling and reducing footprint certainly sounds like a desperate... — read more 

I was a part of NOV for 15 years. I made it up the management ladder. I loved what I did for many years. Until the internal split the company made in 2012 or 2013. An accountant was put over our business unit. That was just stupid. so was bringing... — read more

I propose that there is a mid management level cull throughout NOV. Managers at the top are clueless and ineffectual, always have been/always will be. The mid level have neither direction nor personality - we require these to get back a culture of... — read more 

With all the lay offs and facilities closing, when will they off the next VERP, early retirement package? If 2nd quarter 2026, that would be 3 years since the last package. 4 years would be 2027, hope not that long.

Work is slow. I heard it’s coming.

Is it normal behavior to have a new task forced on you without compensation?

All of night shift for Intelliserv at the Cedar Park location was laid off last week.

I was let go this morning after 11 years. From what I understand, they are looking at a major cuts across the board.

The hourly guys on the floor are barely getting wages above that at McDonalds. Whats with that.

Brandt needs to get their act together. The lowest paid division in a multi billion dollar company. 20 VPs sounds unnecessary to me.

I just heard there is another NOV Facility closure in Conroe/Willis and that business line and employees will be moved to NOV PCG. Is there any truth to this?

What’s the latest in NOV? Any chance of a turnaround? Should I sell or hold the stocks? I left a few years ago. Saw a change of the CEO. But the management team seems the same. Almost like rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic.
