During the last twelve months Gateshead has seen four lots of redundancies.

Does anyone there at all, have any positive news ….. anything????
Thought not, why work for people who keep you in the dark til it’s too late ??
OMG Sales have really achieved NOTHING
Thanks for Nothing
How about we promote everyone to management or supervisor status.
Hey, as long as lister is getting his 100000 steps in while holding important pieces of paper, he’s doing just great haha
Lister, no words can explain no words
Half year ending soon.
Crunch time.
can today bring anyjoy (doubt it ) different day same sh@t
Boxes and boxes of used McDonald’s wrappers and wotsits too I bet 😂😂
boxes and boxes of unused Lynx found next to karaki, HR are investigating.
Quick tab packet calculation.
Over 15% of the workforce including office are connected either by family or through companies people have worked with.
Majority is family.
Management still silent?
Gaffers still clueless?
Labourers still above their station?
Olive oil still prancing about like she knows best?
Any work coming in ?
Our Product Manager will save us. His plan has been in the making for years. It’s going to to be a hydrogen bond.
Oh. Wait. And wait and wait…….
Unless.

Fagga 😂
Unlucky shop floor, you're on borrowed time. Whilst we flood local factories with work, you're getting nothing. As long as the numbers look good and Bin Diesel keeps up with his animal fetish the office is safe.
Can booked sales save us this month.
Word on the street is this month is all about booked sales.
Lack of Sales will shut us down.
Come on Sales guys help us survive.
Shhhhh
It’s like a comedy sketch but ragging a young sp@%k trench from the office is fundamentally wrong if your married and a father ......... but hey ho he’s part of the senior management and that makes it all ok ......... no morals ,no integrity,no qualifications
to 25 years service
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
as the Frozen song says, “ let it go, let it go””
aint nobody listening ......
Stop changing the subject, this is about gateshead but more importantly the legacy that has s now been ruined. If you take closer look certain people are hanging onto the Anson title. The reasoning is because it carried weight and companies had faith in the quality of product supplied. That has gone but yet you have mangers and directors using the Anson brand in their email signature. Absolute disgrace and how some of them look in the mirror should be embarrassing but they don't care as long as the bumper salary is paid every month. Unfortunately gateshead is marked for shut down, let's see who moves to Kintore Scotland for positions kept open. Then you will find your traitorous office staff. Ask questions of the management and engineering manager,director, product manger. Send a question to hr and plant manger. They have to respond to the workforce is we ask respectively. Ask, question, wait and then reach out as it is becoming a joke.
Don't see the problem here, should be congratulating the bloke. I'd rawdog that sh-t so hard (with permission) the bloke to pull me out would be crowned King Arthur.
Im assuming because my comment got deleted roy cropper and olive oil did get seen coming out of the ladies toilets.
Looks like Ha66a and nee t1ts have too much time on their hands scrolling through this and deleting sensitive comments haha.
Some were made redundant because they couldn’t bear working there anymore and couldn’t wait to get out .... just saying 😉
Some people need to grow up. You got made redundant because you are the weakest link in the chain. Move on with your life and forget NOV we have already forgot about you.
Sorry bit late to the party.
That’s the Gateshead way eh being late right
20th May was National Human Resources Day
Did we all spare a thought for the hardship our HR are going through.
I know I did, the same way “they” thought of us.
Management can do nothing. If two people want to get together then so be it. It’s when I compromises the business that’s when management and HR will get involved.
If you don’t know who our plant manager reports to. Then your either thick or trolling.
You’re kidding me..... I work n the Cnc machines and I watch yous g in the toilets and be asleep in there for three hours at a time......simply check the CCTV.
Me and grant are the most productive in the factory and I’m sure we will be okay going forward.
They’ve never got rid of terry and kept ugly tattoo and micro co?k Wilson have they ?
Gateshead mustn't like the comments about Andrew hankey as all been took off
tattoo will work whatever overtime wilson works due to jealousy.
its desperate the way he acts yet gets kept on, bearing in mind no man management skills either.
the best gaffer by far got the push today, corruption aint the word!
Total disgrace the way they mark people for redundancy. The gaffer that went today was one of the best there you coukd approach him any time and he was honest with you and knew his job .just corrupt to the core
Tattoo and Wilson are the most corrupt people I’ve ever seen!!!
Disgrace the posts are taken down the guy who lost his job today is far and way above the remaining 2 collectively they will bleed the company dry inept and greedy to the core
Why are posts being deleted
The consultant plant manager we had was the best I’ve seen. I forget his name. But he did some really good work before handing over to the hands of incompetency.
Parachute him back before complete the inevitable happens. It’s the only small hope we have.
Average life cycle of a plant manager so for since NOV buying us is averaging 2 to 3 years.
Sub contracting the machine shop / fab shop / design to non O&G would benefit the site. Other companies are doing that with huge success.
O&G is on the decline more so now. Sales need to step up and sell our skills and machine shop capacity.
Those who recruit plant managers and direct the sales force are answerable.
Gateshead...........
Probably the best management in the world.
NOV Gateshead have only ever had 2 proper bosses NEVINS and DIBBLE
NOV have a systemic problem namely the management they are Fu----g Useless.
