Lack of innovation

Is the reason for lack of innovation really a ridiculous bonus system like someone said? Or should the reasons for lack of innovation be sought elsewhere? I would like this to be a much more innovative company than it is.

What would good management do?

I don't like what the current management has turned this company into. In my opinion, Schlumberger could have been a much better place, if only there were some other people in the top positions who would know how to use both the potential of the... — read more

Is Schlumberger trying to keep anyone?

I recently left SLB. They magically had a 10% increase as an offer for me to stay. I had a good laugh Is it possible that this happened? Is this a joke? I can’t believe they’re trying to keep anyone. My colleague was the kind of employee many... — read more

Yes man daily

To some extent I understand all those yes man who do exactly what they’re told and who don’t think for themselves, because here it seems impossible to achieve anything if you’re not one of those irritating people. How many times a week do you get... — read more

OLP 2 years in, verdict? Meeting expectations

OLP has been CEO for 2 years marks out of ten? He arrived supporting the transformation and NWW, digital SAP etc…. Did he deliver the above or drop? Job security is low. Meeting expectations (5/10) far from outstanding!

What qualifies someone for a raise?

I haven’t gotten a raise so far, even though I’ve been here a long time and I was hoping to get one. In the meantime, I started getting more and more work. I'm not complaining, I love my job and for now I'm still satisfied, but I think that in... — read more 

Good old days

Look, I'm one of the dinosaurs, when I joined Schlumberger had the reputation of the highest paying and most demanding company out there. There was competition to join, SLB hired only the best and paid the best. A long time later - OFS formed... — read more

Stay in your lane!!!

People! Now, when someone is laid off, terminated or let go for any reason, those of you left behind should really learn to keep a tight lip on your speculative inputs. For one, it’s childish. Often too many times before a person has been let go... — read more

When will arrogance end ?

Listening a HSE talk to promote vaccines. The guy talking was like a Guru with his sect . "The world needs us ... we provide energy" ... WTF, nobody needs SLB ... the world needs good companies ... Not a company with toxic managers which believe they... — read more 

"Innovation is in our DNA" - is there a bigger untruth?

Innovations, where have they gone? There is a critical lack of good innovation at SLB, without which no company can thrive. What is the problem, why are there no good innovations? It seems to me that our leaders do not understand the consequences of... — read more 

Investment Community Not Fooled

I worked 9 years in SLB, left and went into finance. Although it's been quite some time, I just have to say I wish I had left way earlier. After touching base recently with few friends that are still in the company and in management positions, all I... — read more 

LinkedIn Comments are Disabled

Have you ever wondered why SLB has disabled comments on LinkedIn Posts? Who gave this brilliant idea ( probably some of those over qualified fit-for-nothing Phds) to SLB to post on a Social Media platform but disable engagements? This is the irony... — read more 

Do you work many extra hours for nothing?

I worked many extra hours for nothing because it was important to me to keep this job for a while longer. Work-life balance in my case did not exist for months and I was brought to a complete burnout. Schlumberger makes the most of this fear of... — read more 

Why is there no transparency?

complete lack of transparency in everything we do. payrise, battery production, people moves, flexible working, manufacturing Yes, that's Schlumberger's way and I no longer intend to work for a company that is so little transparent. I don’t know... — read more

Multiple management layers

From my perspective, there is a lot of redundant management here. Still, can large companies like SLB be organized without so many managers? To what extent would a company be more efficient without “unnecessary” multiple management layers?

Should have dug deeper

I left over a year ago and the biggest regret I have is NOT doing deeper research into the company I accepted a position with. Everything looked great on paper, but the reality was not at all what I had expected it to be. I know some will call me an... — read more 

We do survey for payroll

How many times have you heard that there is two types of payrise and we are running world's longest running market research survey and will then do world's longest running analysis before making a decision. By the time we are in a position to make a... — read more 

Where is this company headed?

Unfortunately, I absolutely do not believe that the leaders of this company have any vision and plan for Schlumberger. The strategic direction is rather vague and it looks like those at the top have completely lost their compass. Companies that lack... — read more

Where would they start?

I'm just wondering, if some of the best experts came with the greatest will to fix this company, where would they start? There are so many problems piled up here, that it would take them a lot of time to get Schlumberger in order, if at all... — read more 

Happy that you still have a job?

Isn't that the saddest and most obscene argument ever, that the situation is such that many should be happy to have a job at all?

Face the facts

Every single one of us is seen as replaceable by the management. They don't care what we bring to the table, they don't care how much institutional knowledge we might have, all they care about is if they can find somebody cheaper to do our job... — read more 

HR questions

HR says they don't give any information about the case that was reported. HR claims its their policy. Is it accurate? How come the person who complains does not get contacted?

Has the morale ever been lower?

The fact that I was not a layoff target, and my colleague who was a fantastic employee was laid off, only demoralizes me even more. I have never felt that this company is so lost as I do now, nor have I ever felt more demoralized than I feel now... — read more
