These positions are easily made redundant and are not needed. Why do the three main divisions need them when there are people who already do these overpaid roles? Really dumb. Most of the Chief Sales Officers are not even competent and have served no... — read more 

I heard a rumor that parts of 2800 will be moving to Dayton in the near future. Does anyone have any info on when people will be transferred over that way, if even at all? Thanks.

Remember the 80's. When NOV were two different entities. Working for Varco. Saw people getting laid off and new people getting hired in same week. Crazy. Merging with N.O. Maybe we'll merge with someone again.

Oil price lows today $26.76 the lowest in 13 years! Shell and others plans to lay a whole lot more employees. More job cuts coming your way. At this rate oil could end up @ $10.00 bbl

They just started a massive Town Hall - expecting HUGE layoffs: @FxzJT9R

I talked to HR and asked if I was getting the upcoming bonus along with severence and she told me most will not get bonuses this year due to downturn and targets not being hit. I guess that makes sense.

How long will it take for 529 to start layoffs?

How long will it take for 529 to get hit?

I can't believe how fast oil price continues to sink. $28.30??!! NOV stock $29.40

Does anyone have any news about the new Baytown location? Are they accepting transfers from other NOV locations.

Today's Oil price is $29.00 bbl just like it was predicted last summer 2015. NOV stock $29.50. So far all the predictions were right. Oil was predicted to reach between $20.00 to $25.00 this year. We will see.

Coming into work today was horrible. Several good employees were let go while we still have some here that shouldn't. Cachet was an excellent buyer and Anna Cantu was an excellent planner. Who makes these decisions? Morons if you ask me. The only... — read more

New to this layoff thing

Many of you who were recently laid off will be looking at alternative healthcare, be very careful what you sign up for as there are many scams out there. One thing to look for is wording like " limited benefits plan" they say they are a PPO and your... — read more 

Yeah! Layoff has been a norm these days. But how many of the Next gen have you witnessed, been let go. Is it the ego of the selectors, that their choice is the best, or.........are they really too talented and too experienced to bring the OPEC back... — read more
