Thread regarding National Oilwell Varco Inc. layoffs

Looks like the trucks are gone on Monday!

Any luck with the job search?

I heard the trucks are staying...

Cause they are waitingto surprise you

Why has nothing official been said?

Did you find a new job bro?

NOV management sit around & scrounge up penny's while dollar bills fly out the window!!

the sky is falling.

When will they start talking office personal trucks?

Can they just stop being so greedy and let the worker make a living for his family. Shameful how NOV has become!!

They need to close the doors and go home.

I heard that this may not be happening. Haven't seen anything to confirm either way. Just seems like rumors

NOV needs to be sold off and let someone else give it a try!

So when is this going down?

You're crazy if you think Gill will fix anything. He and his cronies are part of the problem!

Always promoting their friends is 100% true such as having techs south of the border with ZERO knowledge in managing and developing business let alone a country. This clan sticks together boys and don't Y'ALL forget it even if it means throwing money away. Hopefully Gill will put an end to it eventually.

What's going on with the rental department? Are the now part of service or separate?

They need to start with all the people that work in the office that could not make it in the field and never travel to the rigs to generate revenue for the company.

I would agree with that!

Those trucks are a drop in the bucket as far as overall expense. Those they want to keep will keep their trucks. Those they don't really care about will have the choice. If they leave, it's just another tick up in utilization. Houston Service is seriously the absolute worst in workforce management and HR compliance... and HR cowers in pushing them to becoming compliant. They actively discriminate and are always promoting their friends. Just look at the management team from GM down...

That is why NOV is in the current decline, because they put a lot of attention on the wrong things and turn thier head to the important ones.

What will NOV due to compete with service rates?

Why is it that the people who know the least about the topic always have the most to say.Lol

I guess you need to drive to the heliport or boat dock , don't you?

how do you drive a truck offshore anyway?

Pete Miller was not all that great. He did layoffs in 2009 during the financial crisis. You're nuts to put him up on some pedestal. He was just in the right place at the right time...

So when are the next round of layoffs going to take place?

It's been a downhill run since Pete Miller left. He would have found ways to generate new revenue. High on his priority list would be job retention for all, not just a-- kissers and family.

Will someone wake up and steer the ship!!

DE folks are nothing but knuckle dragging monkeys who turn wrenches. They're a dime a dozen... why should they treat them fairly.

It's funny though - that group makes money hand over fist and they're still being tight with the purse strings. They're all a bunch of clowns and couldn't manage/lead their way out of a paper bag.

People don't quit the company, but they quit managers.....
