Will E2E run in 2018 given that it is complete waste of time and money? No one at lower management level believes in it and they don't want to speak to employees.
SLB on the best employer list- Is this a joke?
Really got me laughing. I wouldn’t recommend applying at SLB even to the old hand folks, much less to the newcomers,but hey, Forbes does. https://www.forbes.com/companies/schlumberger/#423a0388167a
DELFI, One year later
More than 4 years ago, slb started to invest large amounts of time, people and money into new Digital Technologies. There was Bespin, BlueCube, the creation of SWT, Software Professional Careers and the STIC. AB felt like the Steve Ballmer of Slb... — read more
SLB share price & oil price correlation
Coupling SLB share price to oil price is over simplifying how the market works. How much oil price should be for slb to come back? Not long ago oil price was lower than what it is now and slb was performing much better. Slb failed to resolve promise... — read more

Engage to excel 2018 (Gallup Q12)
In my location there was no retrospective meeting regarding E2E 2017. We were not told about last year's results. We have been asked to submit feedback in written form instead, indivdually. Nobody was informed about what action items or follow-up... — read more
SLB criticized for terrible and aggressive abuse of employee rights.
SLB is the worst in the industry for employee rights and wellbeing Why does anybody want to work there?
Idea for site admins....
How about changing the site so that when any topic has a reply it is bumped to the top of the list? It would save scoping down to check the latest replies.
SLB lose massive $200 billion contract to BHGE and more lay offs expected globally on the back of this failure
Turns out SLB were twice as expensive as BHGE
Safe from layoffs for now?
Judging by the lack of new rumors on layoffs I'd say we can relax properly, at least for now. Unless I'm missing something?
MI-SWACO goes from being worlds #1 fluids company to money losing basket case business under SLB leadership
M-I SWACO has been "TRANSFORMED" into a money losing fluids company after being the worlds #1 fluids company for years. Sheer incompetence by PK and his band of executive imbeciles.

BHGE in shock talks to acquire Schlumberger
Amazing and who would have thought this possible after the Halliburton debacle, however, feedback from high level government meetings in NYC suggest the Trump government would not stand in the way and indeed will support the deal.
Risk of looking for a new job

Silent redundancy in Stonehouse
Stonehouse has smart management and they are laying off people silently under the disguise of incentivized resignation
Laid off because I told my manager to stop shouting at me.
He also insisted that I must copy him on all my emails to local managers I couldn’t stand working for this guy anymore but was it fair to lay me off and can I do anything about it?
Will we lead or fall?

Any news on layoffs?
What's the latest on layoffs? Been hearing some whispering about next month, but nothing concrete.
Vacation Policy after Layoff/Resignation
What is the SLB policy on remaining vacation time when employment ends? I had an interview at another company, but most likely will not be able to use it if this works out.
This will not work out
I've been wondering lately when the leadership of this company will realize that profit at all cost will destroy Schlumberger in the end, which will mean that nobody will get any profit at all, including them. When you disregard everything else... — read more
SLB management culture is a very sick, deranged and highly dysfunctional one
It is the worst company I have ever worked for in terms of it’s appalling people culture. Work place psychiatrists will be using it as a case history for corporate dysfunctionality and underperformance for years to come. If you have worked there for... — read more

MI Swaco-Florence Kentucky
This place has turned absolutely toxic! I wonder if all manufacturing centers are this poorly managed.
Recent Sugar Land Layoffs
At the Sugar Land Campus, my husband was layed off on 6/26/18. He was with Schlumberger for 43 years!!!!! Yes, I said 43 years! How about that? He was a designer with a significant wealth of knowledge and has seen it all. He saved SLB money and was... — read more

Houston will be a lean place from 2019 with very minimal IT resources and IT epicenter will be Pune.
Schlumberger needs a new blue print and a real inspiration
The self centered approach of Schlumberger will soon penalize its market share and dominance. Clients are growing impatient by the lack of responsiveness and creativity from a company that is supposed to deliver superior technology. Investment in its... — read more
Princeton move to Sugar Land FUBAR’ed
2 years behind schedule and only the bean counters know how much over budget and counting! They will never make a nuclear detector or generator again. Hope they have a supplier in China or India to outsource them to like everything else.
ITT @ Enclave
ITT will be moving 70 to 80% of the work to Pune from the last quarter of this year, only SMEs and few managers will stay here ............
Morale will continue to dwindle
There is no indication of large layoffs in the oilfield part of Schlumberger at the moment, but there will continue to be pressure to make it a much less enjoyable place to work. The RIR situation is one case in point. By demanding one per week, each... — read more
