SLB USA
Laying off US nationals while allowing foreigners to stay , increasing unemployment in USA. Not a good idea.
It's all a bit quiet on this site suddenly
Does everybody feel safe? I don't think so it probably has to do with the morale boosting engage survey. Well that thing was a barrel of laughs wasn't it. The oil service industries are almost dead in the water, or should I say waste water.
2000 loyal and dedicated SLB employees laid off in Venezuela!
Its been brutal for the employees losing jobs, income and in the middle of an economic crisis in the country. Please keep these employees in your prayers. They have done nothing wrong. Believing in Schlumberger was their only mistake.
