What appalling untruth has a BH manager ever told you.

Rankin Road, 2014-ish, Plant director announced there were no plans to lay anyone off. Two weeks later, massive layoffs.
The biggest whopper?
Okay, here it is.
" Our employees are our greatest asset."
Laid off 6 years ago after 31 years.
Mumbai is a great office. They know how to drill wells and keep their business going which is more impressive than the drilling disaster of aberdeen office.
I had the misfortune to work in the Mumbai Office. Now that is a true Whopper.
I had the unfortunate experience to work in the Cairo office.
Mumbai was the high-tech skill / low wage option. At least they could get remote ops working properly unlike Aberdeen who spent over 20 yrs talking about it and getting nowhere beyond basic service. This what happens when you have an id--t running drilling service. GE inherited this mess and decided to get rid of aberdeen management and let Mumbai handle it.
You will be getting a raise in September. September comes around.. we’re sorry to inform you that we will be ending all manufacturing at this facility. My boss had the same part welded backwards twice toward the end of our road and threatened our retention bonuses if we couldn’t get the part they fu---d up twice out on time.
You get paid and laid at BKR which sounds really exciting to a young Engineer starting out, but they didn't mention that the laid part was laid-off.
There’s nobody left to answer they all lost their jobs cobber. That was the knockout punch.
Aberdeen was shafted big time but you empty heads were not smart enough to figure that out. Even after the place was shut down and jobs lost. Who had the last laugh?
Do not start me on the BH obsession with High-Pots! When it finally dawned on the company that these brightest of the bright individuals had no intentions of dirtying their precious hands by actually performing a site visit, believing the future was PowerPoint, the die was cast. Then after the shotg-n marriage to the f* Clampits, they should have changed the company name from Baker Hughes to Forrest GP with a folksy redK as a poster boy instead of the paper clip.
What a bunch of thick clowns. identifying so-called hi pots was a joke but you ppl can’t see that even after you lost your rubbish jobs,
Aberdeen was complete shambles. Ops and sales out of their depth and GE kicked their backsides out the office and fired them. Now everything run out of Mumbai who have good management team and the right drilling expertise.
"No, I'm not trying to be funny. The GE. Capital guys coming in are supposed to be really good. Never mind what they did to their own company. Down to earth, not arrogant. C'mon, stop laughing. Please!"
Are drilling services being run from Mumbai now? Are they in charge of all drilling services worldwide. I heard what happened in Aberdeen what a mess in drilling services.
Chemicals would have the field digitally orchestrated to a point where someone in Mumbai would get a red flag notifying them a customers chemical tank in the Permian was reading low and that a push of a button would send a electrical shock to the reddneckk driver’s butttocks to include that well in their delivery route.
Yet, here we are almost in 2022 and they still can’t seem to get the BOL done right.
They can’t even get the BOL right.
My manager told me Directional drilling hands were intelligent. What a whopper that is.
Every quarter when the CFO does his little video and starts off with “we had a strong x quarter” then watch the stock go down literally every time
Baker is just one sorry whopper factory from top to bottom. Nothing any manager tells you is believable. Managers spout whoppers all day long.
Baker Hughes was a great place to grow my career and once people joined the organization they never wanted to leave.
That was 20 years ago.
Now, people want to leave but can’t. Some want to stay but are told to leave.

My manager told me Baker was a professional well respected drilling company when I was hired. Ha ha what a whopper. Joined Weatherford 6 months later.
I was layed off on Christmas Day, after being promised a big pay rise by my line manager.
