Thread regarding National Oilwell Varco Inc. layoffs

I heard Monday, the 11th, will be the day of the big layoff at the Eldridge facility. I heard up to 50 percent. Anyone else heard this rumor?

Yes silly and very amusing. I enjoyed getting in a few laughs. It's real slow here at NOV . Nothing to do. I don't mind reading these posts.

I just assumed he did not know how to type as he clearly does not know how to write. People like that demean the site and take away the true purpose.....to share useful information. Who wants to read the nonsense? I just skip it too. The point is....are there layoffs this week? Where?

Who's the idiot who's constantly posting with the caps lock on? I guess he thinks he's being clever or something.

NEW FLASH to the mad "capper": you've developed a reputation as kind-of the village idiot. Whenever someone sees your message in caps, they instantly know they are about to read a bunch of mindless bullshit. In the future, instead of trying to trick people into listening to you with caps, try being interesting without caps.

Just to be clear, every time I see a message with capital letters (on this message board), I NEVER read it. I skip over and it to the next message.

We've seen loads of Brits laid off and sites closed, just the same as Norway and other places.

@Fn5unzY-1tzk.... IM NOT POSTING THE SAME MESSAGE OVER AND OVER IM NOT TRYING TO AMUSE YOU. YOU NEED TO GET YOUR EYES CHECKED LEARN HOW TO READ. IF YOURE LOOKING FOR AMUSEMENT MAYBE YOU SHOULD GO TO A COMEDY SHOW. I DONT SWEEP FLOORS FOR A LIVING CAUSE IM LAZY AND THINK HIGHLY OF MYSELF TO PICK UP A BROOM. MY MOM DID THAT FOR ME ALL MY LIFE UNTIL I MOVED OUT IN MY MID 40's WHEN I STARTED WORKING FOR NOV. YOU WONT EVER CATCH ME SWEEPING OR MOPPING. MY MARRIED FEMALE MANAGER HAS ALWAYS GIVEN ME SPECIAL TREATMENT. ALL I HAVE TO DO IS COMPLAIN WHINE LIKE A BITCH AND VOILA SHE GIVES IT TO ME. DON BE JEALOUS. IF YOU DONT LIKE WHAT I POST, DONT READ IT.

Pw1.. Get a life you loser. You keep posting the same stupid message over and over. No one is amused. Face it, you're not a comedian. You're stuck mopping the bathrooms at NOV until you retire.

HA YOU SHOULD SEE EVERYTHING I GET AWAY WITH! MY UNETHICAL MARRIED FEMALE MANAGER ALLOWS ME TO DO WHAT I WANT! THATS CAUSE HER MANAGER ALLOWS HER THE SAME. ME AND MY MANAGER PLAY EVERYONE AT WORK WE DO IT SO WELL NO ONE KNOWS WHATS UP. THE REST ARE TO DISTRACTED WORRYING ABOUT LAYOFFS HA AS LONG AS NOV ALLOWS IT I WILL CONTINUE TO DO WHAT I WANT AND GET ALL I WANT. MY LAST EMPLOYER AT S_ _ _ S MY COWORKERS HATED SO MUCH THEY GOT ME FIRED FOR SOMETHING I DIDNT DO. EHHHEM COUGH COUGH WELL MAYBE I DID I WILL STICK TO MY STORY NO MATTER WHAT I WILL SAY I DIDNT DO IT! I LOVE IT WHEN PEOPLE FEEL SORRY FOR ME THE ATTENTION THEY GIVE ME GETS ME HIGH AS A KITE I KNOW I CONNED THEM AM A CON ARTIST. ANYONE NEED TICKETS?

Valid point about the next gens then. Have you ever seen a Brit laid off? I never have.......I was let go as well. Boss and I disagreed on some points so.........I could not be his yes man so I was let go in Sept.

I have personally seen more than a few Next Gens get laid off...

Your point on Directors and VPs is very true. I've not seen 1 let go.

Disclaimer: I was laid off in December...

I heard from a reliable source that NOV may let half their staff go to decrease numbers. Not enough work to support staff. Bet all the directors and VPs are safe but who will do the work when it happens?? The retirement packages mean a lot of good workers will be gone too. Next gens will run the company I guess
