As the riffs sweep through the company and finally come to a close, there will be wounds on both sides.
There are those who are gone that feel that they have lost everything, you have not. You've been given an opportunity that you will soon discover.
Regardless of what a media outlet tells you.
There are those that are still here that feel they are lost because as an organization we've lost so much.
Now is the low point. Now is the pinnacle for our ascendance. If we sulk we will surely fall into a place that will continue to consume our minds. We have been given an opportunity to grow ourselves and our brethren, and we must take it. If not for the company then for our next steps, how will we use this to learn and develop new skills? How will we add value to our own offerings? How can we make ourselves better? How can we use this opportunity to become greater than we could have become before?
Lets face it, weak individuals are a cancer to the larger organism so what I am saying is not selfish. If we grow ourselves and embrace this crucible then we shall surely flourish as a unit.
I challenge each person to take each day into consideration and tactically operate yourself as an individual business selling it's services to Halliburton. I challenge you to develop value that anyone would pay top dollar for.
This is a time of rebirth, embrace it.
If we do not, we will fall into darkness, and will not recover until the next downturn. Then again, praying for a severance package.
