Thread regarding Dril-Quip Inc. layoffs

Leaving this place was the best decision I ever made

Six weeks and I feel like a new man. I forgot what it feels like to not dread going into work every morning. The only thing I miss are my coworkers, but to them I wish to find a way out of DQ as soon as they can, since I don't remember any one of them telling me they like their job.

There is much, much better life out of DQ.

You don't want your kids to grow up thinking their dad is the milkman.

Let’s be honest boys, most of us stayed there for the enhanced n/s rates . It was money easily made with the following perks, extended breaks, sitting in camping chairs on phones/ headphones, wandering around talking to other machinists like fish wives, out for a f– whenever reading papers and books listening to music via boom box . These practices have been going on for at least the 8 years I have been there. Now here is my point. Since the appointments of the new supervisors and charge hands were announced many thought that would be the holiday camp night shift finished. In fact they could do nothing as they were as guilty as anyone else before their promotions. There was perhaps 1 or 2 who did go in and do an honest nights work and they will know who they were. Friday and Sunday nights were the real Steal Deal. No other jobs out there like that for you saddos now

Glad I took the money this time round, after 8 years service and 3 survived payoffs it's definitely the best decision I have made. The place can be a great place to work but just too much of a snakepit and the appointment of complete mo–ns in higher positions, DQ Aberdeen never left the 80's. Some good guys left but not envious of them.

It'll be closed down in the next 12-24 months. Watch the yards empty in the forthcoming.......
Make the most of what little time you have left in the place.
You won't be that far behind us.
