Enough is enough. Halliburton would dislike nothing more than for people to collectively stand up and use this RTO BS as a catalyst to a union.

People in cubicles do not need to be at an office 5 days a week. Period. Especially when there are still tons of teams calls with global teams in all different time zones so you don't interact in person anyways...
We just do the same thing at the office now that we did at the house. Sit behind a computer and join teams meetings all day long
If your job can be done from the house with zero interaction with others then your job is not safe.
Must be terrible to have go back to the office and actually work after 5 years of watching the View in your pajamas and moving the mouse every few minutes to show you’re “online.” Go eat another bowl of snowflakes.. I mean Frosted Flakes.
Wait. You want to form a union because HAL is doing what every other company is doing? Good luck.
Try to save the DEI group while you are at it.
Newsflash to the same guy who posts about Arbroath constantly…..No one cares about or even knows where Arbroath is or what y’all do there..FYI. Yea HCT su-ks and is pretty much dying, so no surprise there.
Get one in arbroath a cesspit of corruption and nepatism
I’ve heard they will start as early as Feb
Wow that’s crazy. Since names are submitted, any idea when they will start it?
Yes the layoff is true. 10-20% - not sure on that. But yes names have been submitted. Not trolling this one. This one is coming from the corner office.
Lay off your people, and watch your costs go down… and watch your revenue go down. Great long term fix !!
They'll probably hit their targets with all the early retirements being triggered by RTO. All of the older folks with tons of experience are leaving in droves because they don't have to work and put up with RTO BS. There's going to be a massive void.
Uhhh hoping the comments below are trolls? Are lay offs really coming? If anyone has news one this please let us know so we are ready for it!!!
It’s pretty clear that the RTO mandate was to incentivize people to leave on their own. It tells me layoffs are going to be right around the corner. I give it a month or two before round 1. This is not hard to sniff out.
Yes there should be flexibility to work remote some it shouldn't be hardine stance on 5 days, that is old school thinking.
Problem is this company is heavily field/service/manufacturing based so office workers just don't have any leverage here. And with most other fortune 500 companies going RTO it leaves little recourse for the worker and the companies have all the control here.

White collar would be replaced almost instantly by H1B indians. Trust me you have no sway, field services could in theory do it they do have the pull since they're the ones really making the money but thinking they would give a rat's a** about some smarmy office worker crying about RTO as a reason for them to stick their necks out is ludicrous.
Field Services that would grind to a halt without without intelligent people working in the office. If field employees had any ba##s and could manage their finances instead of buying 100K trucks, motorcycles, boats, and g-ns they could have unionized decades ago. So much for talking tough and crying about freedom. When you live paycheck to paycheck HAL will always be able to control you. So they buy into the Republican BS that they are better off dealing with their employer on an individual basis.
Halliburton Professionals would be smart to form their own union. You southern folks are so naive about unions. Leave the field folks to fend for themselves. Maybe Fox News and HR can save them. If anyone will ever form a union here it's the white collar side of the company. We're the only part smart enough. The rest would follow.
yeah, SURELY RTO will be the rallying cry for a union in a company whose main revenue is from FIELD SERVICES
f***ing *mbeciles.
You’re correct. They used to (and probably still do) have classes for managers and supervisors on how they can react and disband unions as they start to form. The moment I heard that it told me all I need to know about this company.
