Total intends to let go of about 300 workers in the north-east following its takeover of Maersk Oil. Meanwhile, BP, ConocoPhillips and Petrofac have all announced redundancy plans which could impact the region.
All of the above compaines are clients of ours in Aberdeen and we have been informed this week of various cancelled contracts as a result of these.
Aye but ah those muppets got laid aff by Baker coz they wiznae up to the levels o the company. That’s why they are a bitter noo.....
Yes it is if you are in management but clearly the Aberdonian muppets always moaning on this site are not at this level
Envy is a great driver of negativity in the minds of weak people
Is the Baker pension really as good as everybody says? I heard about a guy who after 20 years service left with a massive lump sum and 70k a year for life. Lives in his own villa in Marbella Spain like a king and is only 55.
All beautiful women want to go out but not with uneducated cheesy baker flops.
Baker sounds like a fun company
Nobody ever has fun in Schlumberger. Way too serious for its own good
Where do I send my CV?
Work in baker sales. Big salary + big bonus private jet everywhere. Stay top hotel and eat top restaurant everywhere. Attend All top sporting events. Private yacht Monaco. All beautiful women everywhere want to go out. Free use of beach house and nyc apartment. All Grand Prix with client and personal fren to all top f1 driver an Hollywood stars. Very little work jus fun fun fun.
SLB eliminating the gentleman's clubs was the death knell. Now everything is all business and professional with them. They are the worst.
Kick tha useless stoneywood managers backsides out. Wait. He already ben kicked oot. 😂😂😂
Baker benefits are also much better than SLB including the pension + the expense account is great if u work in sales as I do. We get to take clients out wining and dining, gosto all the top premier league football games in a private plane + all expenses paid visits to gentleman’s clubs in different cities.
SLB stopped all that stuff years ago and only the very senior executive staff get to do that now. That was one of the top reasons for me to move across to Baker....
Better off with Baker is what I say
No one interested in your two cents worth of verbal garbage now get back to work an stop wasting company time
Yup good ol Baker treated me with respect and the pay was real good
We just hired a new president for our Latin America business unit and he comes from Schlumberger.
Guys - I also moved from SLB to Baker and get paid more and treated much better than SLB.
I am a field guy and not the only one
Some of you need to try SLB and u will find out it’s a terrible place to work with no respect for people. At least in Baker they treat me like a human being and not an asset to be treated like dirt.
So quit the fake horror stories

Nothin but lies here. Norway managers now run Aberdeen becuz stoneywood they were loosing money an work big time
No one moves from schlumberger to BHGE in 10 years with BH we lost over 40 staff in Aberdeen to schlumberger with only 1 returning and he was useless.
Instant 20% pay rise with schlumberger, better pension, bonuses, rotation if offshore, car , they were even paid 5000.00 a year to cover a phone.
It's like night and day.
BHGE now is classed worse than weatherford that's have far we have sunk.
Sad times.
What a load of bulls only losers work for peanuts an no pensions. you pay peanuts you get what
Yeah same thing with me as a field engineer
As an ex SLB manager I was nicely surprised to find out that my salary was higher when I came across to Baker. Even more surprised when everybody treated my like a king just because I came from SLB. Thing is I found Baker managers to be much more competent and smarter than SLB executive staff but it’s perception that counts and my bank account is benefitting from the excellent compensation I receive and all the perks too like company car, medical, etc
BHGE are still paying off in some regions. It's all kept very quiet and how they have been doing it from the start.
Cutting experience for trainees and graduates as so cheap but has back fired as lost so much work in the process.
The fact that schlumberger and weatherford are now making hundreds of millions and BHGE are still losing money says it all.
All other service companies are taking on permanent staff in every department only BHGE still cutting heads and using agancys as not enough work.
I find these posts hilarious. The funniest ones are by those who are the most bitter. Keep them coming LOL. Hahahaha.
And what does BHGE knows aboot running projects then just a bunche of taxi drivers and dumb iron yard hands
I saw a post (no seems to have been removed) that said BoD was hiring thousands. If true, BHGE can easily absorb these lost Total, BP and other jobs. What is the problem?
So the baker mangers get paid less than Slb and Hal. Does that surprise anyone. Those clowns aren’t edukated so get less that how it works yer ken.
and laughin at stoneywoods clown who lost massive frac contract an kicked out
Laughing all the way to the bank
Baker is a great company and gives opportunities to everybody no matter your back ground
If you can do the job your hired and you can become a manager too
Everone still laughing aboot it in the stoneywood office 😂😂
Made enough money so don’t need to work
Idiot kicked out for fightin in foyer still cant get a job
Numptie- go back to yer taxi
As an ex taxi driver myself and having worked for 25 years in Baker Aberdeen I have many thing to be thankful for to Baker:
I own a detached and fully paid off house in Queens toad
My wife and I both run Audi cars
The kids went to a top private school in Aberdeen
Travelled all over the world
Great pension
We were able to pay for both our daughters to have their wedding reception in the 5 star marcliffe hotel
We own outright a penthouse in Puerto Banuis
Not bad for a loon fae Aberdeen who used to drive a taxi for a living!
I would highly recommend anybody to get into the oil industry in Aberdeen as the rewards are excellent even with the downturns.
Life at the end of the day is all about money and the happiness it brings you so enjoy it while you can!
I certainly have!
A sizeable bonus was paid to me for reaching cost cutting targets. OK it wasn’t very nice job firing so many people but it had to be done by specially in U.K. with all the fat there was there. So yes bonuses were very good even during the crisis.
A bit like how a butcher cuts the fat off the meat before selling it as a lean mean burger.
Baker hasn’t paid bonus in last 5 year
Baker bonuses are much higher and that’s where they make their money.
Education standard is lower. end of story
Thats why the average salary for an BH Aberdeen manager is $30-40k. Slb and HAL managers earn 3-4 times more.
Big long tired yawn and a long smelly fart...............Fake News
baker mismanagement bunch a numties. everyone larfing at these clowns
Aberdeen the oil capital of nothing.... Still weekly paying off thousands and more to come.
More jobs to go from BHGE, HOUSE PRICES still falling and a few Thousand less bmws or audis on the roads when there all handed back.
Ha ha ha ha ha what a shxt hole of a place.
baker say projects openin up everywhere, looks like goin other way an closin down . fracking amaturs
Aye
Kudos to BoD management for getting us to where we are today. And where are going tomorrow, and the dayafter that.
