Thread regarding Schlumberger Ltd. layoffs

@1hax - You are probably the only person on earth to know what the actual price for DELFI is. For the rest of us, this is just as fuzzy as the product content or the underlying business model.

Cheaper or lower prices are here to stay, as the market leader SLB lead the market down this way.

The transformation roadshow was supposed to make us more efficient to compete at cheaper prices. It has not worked, everyone else got cheaper faster and invested in themselves. SLB invested in buying companies in a bad market and lot of powerpoint which all that the transformation will leave slb with i heard! Nothing has been saved.

Too big to change and he keeps trying to make it bigger, it has not become lean mean big and powerful SLB became big and fat and slow. If a differnet approach had been adopted or more reasonable approach it might of worked not with Paal and his $20,000,000 per year compensation and 11% pay rise!

Looks like the clown from Ponca is here again

low price, low cost, or simple word CHEAP is the main theme now. you can have top design, new tech, better service but competitor can offer cheap sht just to do what they need. you automaticly out of the game.

Price is not the only reason operators choose from their suppliers list.

Many factors involved

Unfortunately it is true slb cutting edge technology isn't really cutting edge in market, i.e. DELFI isn't even close to what small companies are providing with massive price difference.

One could say, cost of r&d and product development and engineering is really high in slb due to inefficient methodologies and approach. This obviously reflects in final services and products price.

In 5 more year this place sell cheap hot dog and fries you watch. Oil industry finished as fracking now best option. Look a the facts you clown.

Sure, cheaper is not alway better, but cheapper is what client want. Wait for 5 more year when slb get less and less contract then you know what is better.

Obviously cheaper is not always better. Surely the guy who made the post is a great example of that.

"same IQ as a tool - you tool"

Seriously, that's all you got? Did your buddy manager tell you that you have the best tools and now you couldn't sleep all night. Did he lie to you? Yes, no? Slb has the nicest cubicles and everyone smiles. How could he be wrong?

Hahaha

Industry is dumbing-down noticeably. Seems like morons everywhere you turn nowadays who would backstab their granny if there was money in it.

You can’t stop laughing because you have the same IQ as a tool - you tool.

Hilarious!!!

Slb has no problems with their tools...??? Hahaha

Where do you work? Cafeteria or credit union?

I can't stop laughing...

Talk to Pal about that, all they want is money, why does it have to better.

Pity about the spellin.

Spoken like out of touch SLB manager. No one is investing in New equipment or NPD. Duct tape it and keep fracing.
