At the end of August how many people will get the door at rankin road plant, because they move product to China
Florence Kentucky
Profit over safety as always at FMPC. It’s comical to see management pretend to be concerned about safety until some profit is in danger.
Foreign hireing
What is wrong here? My son was laid off, given several months notice but he has to train his replacement who is Indian and works for a lot less pay. I thought out-sourcing was only done if the job knowledge was not available in the USA. ... — read more

Greener pastures
I just want to come back and say that moving on from SLB and finding a new career choice has been the biggest weight off my shoulders. I worked for SLB for 5 years and in April got let go. I was upset at first but bounced back quickly and just found... — read more

Lazy Reporting
The filings today clearly stated this 21k was previous cuts and that the impairments would most been seen in Q3. We are cutting off a high of 105k people. Now that isn't to say there won't be MORE cuts but this is shoddy reporting by HOU reporters... — read more

Schlumberger Shribaking Staff by 21000!
Bloomberg is reporting Schlumberger staff shrinkage by 21000. Apparently, quarter revenues are horrendous, so 21k has to go. Didn't find this entirely surprising. I expected more.

Could it come back again?

Ex-employees return as contractors
Is it legal to release employees and turn around and make them an offer to come back as a contractor (less pay and no benefits)? Asking for a friend. This may or may not be happening in OneStim (hypothetically ;))

The new organization structure was supposed to be announced end of June and it was post poned to mid July... More heads will roll...

As if getting laid off wasn't cost saving enough, now they wanna charge me service fee's for having my money in the 401k. Glad I'm done with them. Lol

Schlumberger should not treat employees the way they do. Period.
Happy 4th of July Folks
Happy 4th of July ! Hope our job can be saved!
Relentless Nepotism at SLB
SLB fills pages and pages with messages related to cost reduction but its actions reveal a different reality. How in the world a former product champion based in UK is kept as an expat Data Lab Manager? Is this job so unique and difficult that a UK... — read more
