Thread regarding Baker Hughes layoffs

Clean energy transition

I was just reading some articles about the industry-wide clean energy transition so I was wondering how much do you think our leadership cares about turning its portfolio ‘green’ compared to our competition?

Damn. 3pt and nothing but net with that comment @5wkf+1cHhOpJX

Proof of another failed attempted by the Big Dreamer Venezuelan. Oh, and every product line has one. All talk - all the time you no real execution plan. Broken system, broken processes, only further fragmented by the leaders that don’t get it, the employees that aren’t competent and the ones that are will be too damn busy to help get it right.

Yet, the boneheaded Digital Transformation group bit off way more than they can chew and added more fragments and roadblocks.

Here’s an ideA: just go back to paper and pencil and let the real operations teams do what’s needed. You office guys can don your little green coveralls and beat off into your smart helmets. 🪖

I agree with the narcissistic leadership especially on the frontline. Most of them are chicken sh-t liars. Can’t wait to get out of this DHL cr-p ho-e. The supervisor makes my skin crawl.

The core problem, whether it is digital, AI and now ET is the utter lack of trained and respected leaders in these segments. No instead, we prefer narcissistic figureheads that completely discredit any potential progress

Chemicals ahead of the game. Likely the only division that is even applicable to the Green transition. It’s nominated for most of the World Oil awards, we are like the Meryl Streep of the industry.

The other PLs are F-d. They’re like the entire cast of Cavemen (2007).

Ha ha ha!
I never thought of it until just now.
There’s self driving cars, self flying and return rockets, self driving drones. And Amazon provides AI solutions and plugins for very complex business models.
I’m guessing the leadership hasn’t connected the dots yet?

OMG! Im not the only intelligent life form associated with BHGE.
Litmus test

If the office still uses excel to run its business in any way even to manipulate data, if the business keeps buying new software and still keeps the old one for decades, and you still feel great about your PowerPoint presentation that you yourself don’t understand.

At this point in time, BHGE should have structured processes and programs to perform 50% of the work. If AI isn’t booking orders, routing jobs, buying parts, scheduling the work, shipping , or even invoicing the job. Just one of these. Some might not want to agree, but this business still operates in the Stone Age.
It’s illegal for BHGE to coin the word digital, because today’s available technology dictates it.

I’m so glad someone else understands how this company doesn’t work.

Cheers mate!

I am sure they shall embrace the green energy transition with the same gusto as the digital Oilfield transition.

Who can forget! All the talk of “digital”, with absolutely no real information being shared. Encouraged to talk about it with customers, but a complete absence of content or expertise when they showed an interest. Managers latching on to the buzzword, hoping to demonstrate their tech-savvy to the bosses by, for example, performatively instructing staff to use clunky share points that slowed down work and were not fit for purpose, but no real interest in selling anything to a customer.

So, to summarize:

  1. Executive leadership who are so disconnected from the front line they have no idea how to practically develop or implement a concept.
  2. A workforce led astray with promises of greatness and then left to twist in the wind.
  3. Customers left with the impression that Baker doesn’t know what it is talking about.
  4. Managers more interested in appearances than results, willing to sacrifice performance in the field in an attempt to enhance internal status.

One of the many reasons Baker is now an industry leader in the digital oilfield.

If, by “digit” you mean “middle-finger”.

Looks like they are doing just that because obviously they can't turn a profit in O&G. Don't sweat it, they'll sc--w it up also, they're excellent at picking losers
