The rumblings are that the unnecessary and undeserved lower level managers will be the next round cut in the beginning of the year. I've never worked for a company with more advisors and team leads than Noble, and all of these positions go to youngins that are not qualified for the job - they should have been the first ones cut.

That is right. Boomers did invent technology. For instance Al Gore invented the internet! He is a boomer.
Joe L. still has a job?! He should have been the first one to go!
Noble needs to clean out out all of the dead weight it is brought on since 2008. The dead weight are C and D players from Shell,BP,Swift, HAL, Hess and many more.
Getting laid-off by Noble really has nothing to do with who can do the job. It has mostly to do with who is cool and who has kissed Joe L's a most consistently through the years. He wouldn't know a good landman if they bit them in the a.
Let's be honest.... Noble blows.
Baby boomers are not tech challenged. We invented it, you stupid thing. That is a generational lie to make yourself feel better.
You only think you can work better than the boomers. You can't. Tech won't replace real brains.
A lot of dead weight in the younger crowd. All they do is harp on their hatred of older workers. Especially the Silver spoon crowd
Most, but not all, millennials are lazy and shortsighted. Noble layed off the only two in Denver who had any sense.
Get rid of some of the land managers. How many do they need? They just demoted the Texas one because he's 17, and put the racist klansman over him.
Any management/country managers associated with Noble's Africa business unit should be let go. They either don't know enough about oil and gas exploration/development or managed through fear and intimidation. Nasty bunch of people.
The boomers have the experience you can't get with button pushing.
Good luck millennial on you next string of dry holes. I'm still at Noble but saw mistakes that only inexperienced people make like the Falklands, Cameroon, GOM (Madison), Nicaragua. There where boomers who spoke out before these became dry holes who where turfed. The millennials know how to kiss ass, say yes when supposed to and little else
Isn't oil free now. Find a job that is in demand.
After checking their facebooks and ignoring the small details of success, they are also great at "doing lunch" to make a big deal" without work....
Spoken by someone who likes to dish it out insults but can't take it when directed at them.
Because of our tech savvy we can get done what you do in your 50+ hour work week in our 35 hour work week. it doesn't take us 2 hours to navigate through a system or program to do a 10 minute task. and yeah, we still have time to check our facebook in between our quickly completed tasks.
Ridiculous insults aside, how about this.. We're all different, we all bring something different to the table, whether it's years of oil and gas experience or maybe we're fresh out of school, but skilled in these simple computer programs the company uses. Everybody starts somewhere, how about we stop attacking and tearing down people and we work together, share our skills and knowledge and make this company great, instead of bitching and moaning online to other bitchers and moaners.
Merry Christmas, ya filthy animals... and happy new year.
I agree with the millennial who says boomers are "technologically challenged". Nobody can get to their Facebook page, on company time, quicker than a millennial! I guess since they are so advanced in their technological skills it makes up for the fact that they don't work one minute longer than they suppose to.... and usually put in a solid 35 hour work week.
When are they going to layoff some of the morons in upper management? These are the complete doofuses that ran Noble into the ditch! Amazing...
The baby boomers were the ones that provided Noble with all the discoveries over the last few years. So much for them being "technologically" challenged. They're mostly gone now, retired or laid off. Good luck replacing their skills.
Spoken like a true technologically challenged baby boomer.
