Any layoffs here anytime soon?
Why doesn't SLB get rid of some of these useless acquisitions they made over the past 20 years.

How to get Paal back
There is a way all the laid off employees who are stock holders can get these @#$#@ back. I got a proxy card and get to vote on election of board members and the executive compensation package. VOTE NO on all the recommendations.
