Thread regarding Baker Hughes layoffs

Whatever happened to good old baker blue.

Remember Baker Performance Chemicals? If you do then I suspect you remember a time when Baker was great to work for and how everyone would bleed Baker blue.

Things have sure changed and not for the better, Baker has been ran into the ground with impending (big deals) that pretty much have reduced employee morale to an all time low. If this is called progress and the way of big business, maybe sometimes staying smaller is better????

Yes, I remember BPC. Worked there for 25 years before I quit!! A very proud bunch of people. even after the Treatolite purchase it was a great company. The unfortunate part, is that it was always the "step child" within BH. When times were good, BH b--ched that the margins were not good enough. When times were bad they loved the steady revenue. However BPC could never get enough capital to grow as they should have. Good times, there were always better paying divisions to invest in. In bad times, no available capital. BH was always searching for the quick ROI. When Baker decided to go to the Geo Management style around 2007 the ship started to sink. All of a sudden you had some Manager that worked in the Tools division his whole career trying to dictate how the chemical division should be run. Total failure. During that time, many highly regarded BPC employees left. Now it seems process, and political correctness are the keys to internal success. Meanwhile the customer is going where they find solutions!!

And you are unbelievably boring. Five posts in row. Wow! Does that not tell you something about yourself? Or are you incredibly dense too?

Sugar Land and BH need to move beyond the dark ages and evaluate performance professionally. Opportunity should be for everyone not just your buddies which is the usual way.

No direction from upper management and promotions based on gender only, not on merit. No one in Sugar Land has any selling skills but they have their MBA.

Baker used to be good but not anymore. All experience gone and incompetent managers / poor decisions have lost work and destroyed the company. BH Aberdeen good example of this decline. Umpteen pay cuts and pension frozen means morale at all- time low and people couldn't care less.
