Looks targeted
Why would you want to stay?
Yes getting laid-off sucks and it is unsettling. But why would anyone want to keep working for this dying company? It has a toxic work environment... is a cesspool of negativity with no future. You are ALL better than this. Take your severance and... — read more
What is happening in Houston?
Any updates? Which departments are getting hit?
Middle Management
A lot of other companies who faced significant cuts did things the right way...get rid of middle management across the board. Because let's face it, middle management is completely worthless. Not that Noble ever does what makes sense, but I hope for... — read more
To My Noble Comrades....
Good luck today!
It's very bloody today but no posts here
It's sad. If you go to any other O&G company page here you'll see a ton of info exchanged between employees
Directors/Managers Cut This Time??
Wishful thinking but NO directors or managers will be cut this time either. It will be more workers who know what they are doing but have not bought the Breakthrough BS that has put the company in the ditch. So rather than the draconian managers, Sr... — read more

Well, that was sufficiently depressing.

Talk big. Know nothing. Road to advancement.
I'm in charge and am going to go to more ball games and dinners. Talk big and know nothing is my road to success. Never been in an energy company before. But that doesn't matter to Noble. I'll run this unit into the ground while looking for my next... — read more
Layoffs
It's starting in Houston....
Companies do what they need to survive
while there are people still here from the first round of layoffs that leave us scratching our heads, the bigger picture is no one cares about people. they do not have the time to research who is actually working and who just sits around and talks a... — read more
If management can't see this, the company is doomed.
I pray Noble has the gonads to fire everyone who won't work, who makes fun and causes trouble for those who do work. We have a huge bunch of spoiled brats in my age group and if I said this out loud to them, the pack of mad dogs would turn on me. I... — read more

You are a joke! If you really care, which you don't, why don't you just retire!
Big mouth supervisors and managers in MBU Land
Supervisors once again told a bunch of people they are safe in MBU. If you have not been told, you may well be let go. Look to see who is not packed.

Noble Layoffs Next Week (Nov 2016)
What do you guys predict, who is getting hit, how big is it...
Anxious
Sitting here at Noble Houston praying I get cut. This company has gotten so far of center in the last 3 years there is NO chance of it ever getting back to right unless the board clears the upper deck of the misfits who are suppose to be running the... — read more
Advice to Management
If these layoffs are based on anything other than genuine merit and work, it will be a travesty. We can cut the Dustrict by half and not touch the real talent. If they get rid of the highest performers and productive people and leave the attitudes... — read more
2016 is going to be a rebound year for the industry and one that Noble will get back to being great!
Since starting the campaign against the negative comments on this website a couple of weeks ago, we have decreased them significantly.
Great job to my emotionally intelligent Noble gang!!

Shovel it as much as you like, it still won't go away.
Susan and nearly everyone of her managers are incompetent and the few that aren't habitually fail to speak up. Susan and her direct reports viciously enforce conformity. No ideas other than their own or that fit their myopic vision have merit. Worse... — read more
