Sweco is unknown in Houston.
I wish SLB would sell Sweco before they completely ruin what's left of the good name they had. Industrial side never got the respect they deserved.
It's not MI SWACO Florence, it is SWECO. REMEMBER that great Company? How sad to see the leader in Industrial Equipment be reduced to a rounding error at SLB. But, we all now know how to lift boxes and correctly walk up/down stairs. That builds customer loyalty and grows the business...........Not........Bye, bye SWECO.
Job cuts are not over! The people that are leaving know that.
Ask management why they are pulling all the work into February? The good old boy club is losing control! When you see the voluntary exodus of the team members we do then that should be a red flag to everyone. Get out while you can.
So many people are desperately trying to get out of this place. We used to be the best place around to work but now we have such a bad reputation people don't even want to accept jobs. They would rather take a chance working someplace else. As far as safety and quality are concerned it's a running joke. As long as enough HOCs are submitted to allow the managers to get their bonus everything is good enough. So sad. Won't get any better with the current management team.
To the original poster...you either don't work there, or you are a member of management on site fishing for real answers. If that is the case, I applaud you for at least trying to get an honest answer because everybody there knows that you are no longer allowed to think independently.
The approach of "you guys have been doing this so well for so many years that we need to change it" has people pissed off. Sweco industrial people feel like second class citizens whose opinions are quickly ground into the dirt. Believe it or not, they know what they are doing. I thought good managers learned and understood their people in order to get the most out of them. Not the case here. People's strengths are minimized and weaknesses amplified. It might help them to understand how and why things are done before trying to "improve" them.
Oh yes. $188/hour to stroll around smoke cigarettes and bs about his car and tractor collection .He makes more in a day than the highest paid shop employee does in a week . Wonder why people are unhappy here?
is the consultant still getting paid?
who said job cuts were over?
Florence has been hit hard in safety and quality, it's obviously not important.
more people will leave because there is no communication.
Management in Houston is just NOW starting to question? Wow...that is rich. Thank you for your concern, even though it's at least two years late.
Funny how they stress quality and safety here. Anyone can tell you that at the Florence plant, production is ALWAYS number 1! EVERYTHING else comes second. Quality is a joke and safety is almost non-existent.
To many managers in positions with no field experience. Never going to end well.
This place is terrible.
Haha. You obviously don't work here. The incompetent management is sending people running for the door. Incompetence plus blatant corruption will destroy any company.
