This company is filled with weasels at the top. Received money to keep jobs, yet closing plants here to expand in India and Saudi. I must have missed it. Did the India and Saudi governments give them millions?

Are these Indians US citizens? Are they visa holders? Are there also offshore Indian employees?

Ever wonder why the majority of Rigs Material Managers are Indian and most of their major suppliers are in India that are possibly family owned businesses? Sounds like a conflict of interest! Oh, and these managers hired their buddies! Easy enough to see it in outlook! Check it out!

A very sad view from a shareholder position, this investment was once a truly international investment now it appears to be an investment run by wholly centric North Americans, I am out as soon as it gets above $18.
Signed a very disillusioned shareholder in what used to be a good investment

Tubo engineering had a hallway of Chinese H1B visa guys under their Chinese boss for decades. When he retired he was replaced with an outside hire Indian guy who didn't even bother going that far and just straight up got offshore Indian labor for embedded programming now.

Not sure I'd take an article from Mother Jones as a factual. They don't have a particularly stellar objective journalism standard.

Are the heads of the org's greedy and awful and even worse so at NOV, why yes. Still this article is a hit job and leaves a lot of facts out.
