Thread regarding National Oilwell Varco Inc. layoffs

What's next to get close?

Some are already mentioning Greengate. I don’t think so, but I’d love to hear their arguments.

Where on earth are you getting this information from.
I have personally spoke to the managers and they say its not even been spoken about. I believe that certain areas may need a shift change but not 4 on 4 off.
I think you are just guessing this or maybe hoping.

Some want to work. Some don't. Either way it is the Managers that need to step up first. I look at them for direction. In the meantime I do what I want as they can't be bothered on a lot more money than me.
Just been told they are all off next week on a holiday trip to Houston. No doubt they will all come back with new "PIE" ideas to move us forward. I vote for Puddings next.

Well, Ambo confirmed he’s doing a few emails at home awaiting his ICP bonus and will be retiring as soon as they want him to come back into the office.
Just confirms the ongoing weak management in the business.
Get rid of him and employ someone who wants to work

The last post about the sales guys, you must be talking about Can’t Be Arsed? As he’s the only one I can think fits that description? He’s been getting away with it for 40+ years, good luck to him if NOV are that blind

The sales guys are on cushy numbers here. At least one of them was set to retire until COVID happened and now he feels like he won the lottery. Decided to say on longer as working from home, doing very little, does not answer the phone if it’s someone he doesn’t want to talk to and knows it will just go to someone else, all this whilst getting paid 40K+ per year! Can’t blame him though if he’s allowed to get away with it, weak management again.

Why are certain people allowed the carry over up to 5 days holiday, some 8 days and others 0. And why can those working from home do whatever they want?

NOV and the so called Leadership team in Manchester actually do a good job of selling the dream to new employees, it’s just that they cannot deliver on those dreams. Once people recognise that they leave and if they’re any good, generally end up better off with another company

Office staff offered a turkey but no option of ham. And an early Christmas finish. Its a thank you for working from home and using their own internet for the past 2 years. Fair enough I suppose.
