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

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!

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
Who’s getting the salary increase this month?

Internal vaccine disclosure being canned
Latest rumours are that are facing such a strong backlash Schlumberger has cancelled the vaccine disclosure plan
People go to Schlumberger to know when will pandemic end?
Arrogant HSE team thinks that people look up to them to know when will pandemic end
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
People who quit because of the impact of O&G on climate change

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

Attrition from Stonehouse, UK

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

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

Have you ever been under greater micromanagement anywhere else?
Before I came here I worked at several big companies and nowhere was I under greater micromanagement than here. I really don't know why all this micromanagement is needed. Isn't it better to use that energy for some other, more constructive things... — 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
How do they decide who will be transferred to another plant?
Luckily I found a new opportunity and I’m not here anymore. I still cannot figure out what's the logic for deciding who will be transferred to another plant and whom they will get rid of? There is never much logic in their moves in general. I hope... — 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
