Thread regarding Dril-Quip Inc. layoffs

DQE m/c shop may get their wish

To all my colleagues in the Aberdeen m/c shop. It has filtered through to Huston how many people have asked for voluntary redundancies. Someone close to Blake has said that Blake is furious and embarrassed about why so many people want away and that he has reached out to Aberdeen for answers. The source also said that Blake is now open to there being a problem that he previously didn't believe and if there is, it would be investigated.

Grants or no grants there isn’t the slightest chance the trees installed on SeaLion will be ours now.

Time to forget sea-lion and concentrate on the sea slugs running machine shop ready to steal some of your jobs

Time to forget about Sealion and realise the direction this current group of senior managers are taking DQ. A once great company is being ruined by individuals who’s goal is to sell it off bit by bit.

I will believe that. When sea lion was cancelled, our fates were sealed. Covid or not

This would have come with or without COVID ! This was planned and they have used COVID as an excuse .

Utter p*sh.

He doesn’t need to look further than his own desk for answers. The numbers came from DQI on positions to go. When a department is getting wiped out- why wait and get basic hours when you can get basic pay from home for the next 6weeks.

If covid hadn’t come around- there would be no issue and nobody offering up to leave. If people were leaving in their droves of their own accord without payout/ garden leave - that would indicate an issue.

It shouldn't be deleted because Blake is a public figure.

You will be hoping it's fake news so you and your buddies don't get exposed for all your vile deeds.

Blake would never understand. Aberdeen isn’t Houston and we never will be or do we want to be, it’s that simple.

These people would receive the same package weather they applied for VR or not. It must be very embarrassing for DQ to know that so many would prefer to be unemployed than continue to work for DQ, especially knowing that there are so few jobs out there that people can go to.

Everyone had the right to ask for VR and bypass the full redundancy process if accepted.

40 + asking out of 115 is hardly surprising if you can leave now rather than endure another 6 weeks. The current atmosphere is not ideal for working.
