This thread kind of blew up. Wonder why? O_0
When is it Purge Month. That happy time of the year when employees can take care of anyone they want. The movies really show off the best of what you would like to do in corporate America.
Pretty sure they mean maintaining the "integrity" of executive bonuses.
Does that mean the other 11 months are no integrity months where we can make some serious money?
WhAt the hill is integrity week? Is this some flaming joke in corporate America? Go out with every supplier you can find to pay for dinner, drinks, and dances. Have fun. This sounds like a joke corporation. Start drilling in your backyard, and hit a NRG Pipeline. What a blast.
In case you need a clue, leave NOW. Leave. Take another job as soon as you can. If you have another opportunity, take it!!!!
Don't wait for the layoff.
Integrity Month. One month out of twelve. 1/12th Integrity. Yeah, that’s about right.
I always thought that “integrity month” was some sort of an inside joke. BH is so glaringly lacking in organizational integrity that “integrity month” being a joke of some kind is the only way that the concept makes any sense.
My manager waited until the last week of "Integrity month" to talk to us about it. He was strangely uneasy about it. Two people in our group happened to miss the team meeting about "integrity" and he made a special appointment at the end of the month to talk to them about "integrity" only because he was required to. But why wait until the last week? Maybe we could have talked about all of the lies that he said to us instead. Oh, maybe that's why he was uncomfortable. He was an ex-GE manager by the way. And he loved stack ranking.
There is little integrity at Baker, yesrs ago maybe but nowadays its a case of get tools out the door even if they are not right or fit for purpose.
I agree with the author of the first reply. I am sure there are many good employees from the GE side who are now part of the new Baker Hughes post-merger, and who do have high standards of integrity. However, those employees do not exist in the post-GE executive ranks who now manage Baker Hughes. Duplicity is in the GE gene pool. All one has to do is look deeply in GE’s history of the last couple of decades, and now all of the smoke and mirrors that have been part of Baker Hughes since GE took over then started exiting, but leaving some of the trash behind to continue running people and this once great company into the ground. That started months / years before the oil price plunge and the pandemic hit. It is quite laughable to continue citing integrity as part of the core values, pillars, or whatever flavor they want to call it. The good employees don’t see or feel that they work any longer for a company with true and exhibited integrity. That’s hard to celebrate
baker and integrity don't belong in the same sentence together
