Thread regarding National Oilwell Varco Inc. layoffs

Best thing I did was leave NOV

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 back the yes sir man back from Singapore
It all went downhill from there. the hardest decision I made was to leave my product line.
Now few years later I am happy and I am so glad I made the jump. I would recommend anyone that is currently employed with NOV get out while you can. The ship is sinking
lol the ship has already gone down. Counting down the days until you get laid off is not the way to live.

In 2008
I was told you train at NOV and when you decide you want to make real money you leave. Its not just about the money, but that is true.
The stress relief is the best part. No one telling me to do more with less.

It is a disappointing truth that NOV Bammel should only serve as a short-term opportunity for people. Pursuing a career here long-term is not just a bad decision, but also a major mistake. My own experiences in this negative work environment, where coworkers are quick to point fingers have made this painfully clear. Overall, the management is utterly ineffective, often hiring incompetent individuals especially the bozo from Brazil who simply engages in micromanagement without offering any fresh ideas; his primary aim seems to be seeking personal accolades. I must point out that both Raphael and Rafael have only increased the strain. Neither of them contributes positively to the company, and their presence is only dragging everyone down. Unfortunately, this place su-ks....

@OP Agreed get out while you can. Left there after 11 years. Very toxic work environment and terrible management throughout. You will never get that time back wasted there. Move on quick!

Great comment and totally understood.
No doubt NOV has been a ship with no clear guidance for many years. It has all been about survival which is understandable.
Like someone posted in an older post...Segment consolidations, lay offs, VERP'S etc. is like rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic.
