It is a sad day to fully realize/see that it appears that all the haters and trolls have had a legitimate point all along. That being, MOC excom is and has been completely inept and out of touch, as well as entirely focused on appearances instead of actual sound business principles. Mark this day as the beginning of the end of employee buy-in. To the doubters: I am from within, and I absolutely hate having to admit this sad truth.

@tzc+19nQELiJ That’s every company
@9mxt+19nQELiJ You tell us.
Awarding work to a new vendor is proof of what
I've heard rumblings that his days at MRO are pretty limited so I wouldn't worry too much about that anymore.
I agree with the previous poster 100%
Adding to what one of the previous posters said about YJOT, there was a while there they went on a "We need a deviation survey done" craze to throw business to the good ol' boys club that he'd buttered up when he was at Noble. Again, work that could've easily/more efficiently been done by companies there in ND. Thanks to the field personnel (who despise the guy), that BS got shut down relatively quickly.
Look up Yellowjacket Oil Tools. Tell me what they do better than WellPro in ND.
Exactly, they won’t exist anymore.
Let that sink in.
Can’t be worse then the low ethics in the land department. I liken them to used car salesmen.
If you think Bakken PE leadership has “low ethics” you have no idea what you’re talking about and have never actually worked closely with that person or team.
What?
Agreed; look at Bakken leadership—particularly in Production Engineering.
The lower you ethics the more likely you are to be kept. They don’t like honest hard working people. They prefer brown nosers with very questionable morals.
Indeed, a sad day for the company, in a sense that they let go of senior, smart and honest people. Sad, big mistake and lost opportunity to turn things around. Sadly, I think it’s going to be all downhill from here.
Who was hit hardest. Heard HR only had to let one go
People are "butt hurt" because those closest to the work were routinely ignored, patronized, and blamed for the company's bad decisions. We care about the company and want it to do well. We're just powerless to do anything to fix it.
Layoffs are always life changing....that’s not necessarily a bad thing.
If you feel this way find a new job. I mean that in the nicest way because that’s my plan. Unless you’re in position that is solely based on oil and gas the job market isn’t as bad in Houston as the news makes it seem. Accounting, marketing, administrative, facilities and such... all those jobs are available and out there.
People are butthurt because their livelihoods are potentially at stake now... I don’t think it’s that far fetched to assume this is could be a life changing event for many. The plus side is that many people who were let go are qualified and should be able to find more work, but this isn’t an easy loss.
Don’t be ridiculous. Have some pride and realize that if you still have a job, you’ve been blessed and if you don’t, there are other things out there.
I really don’t understand why people are so butthurt about the layoff. The business exists solely to make money for stockholders—period.
When you become too expensive to keep around, the company downsizes—simple economics.
There’s life outside MRO. Stop letting your grossly overpaid job at an oil company define YOU as a person. Move on.
Thanks for the kind words Lee. I appreciate and share your concerns.
Any thoughts on how to change course?
I strongly believe YOU are not the ONLY one to realize this loss.....
MRO is no longer the Original company, it once stood for profile-wise.....Standard oil, Ohio Oil...all morals and values that were once recognized are all gone and lost to the ERA....
Sad days of realization.....before us all...
