Thread regarding Dril-Quip Inc. layoffs

Why are we laying off the best people?

Why do we keep losing some of our best employees in layoffs instead of the ones who are actually a burden to the company? Nearly everybody with any proper experience is gone by now!

How does Dril-Quip plan to continue functioning like this? From where I'm standing, this is a recipe for disaster.

Can we please start getting rid of useless employees who are here only because of nepotism and actually try and keep the few left who are good at their jobs?

We are not laying off the best people. We are laying off the dregs and malcontents from a bye gone era who can’t produce in the modern world. What may appear to you to be lazy nespots are actually the new breed of successful people who are smart enough to play the game. They don’t intend to do any real work or produce anything; they are just here to survive and take home a check.

Think about it... if you actually work and produce anything, you can be replaced by a trained monkey on any number of continents. Leaving the US jobs open to people who know how to play the game.

So you can either complain about this reality and get laid off, or step into the 21st century and get on the gravy train. Choice is yours.

Cause dumb--ses would not be in charge if you keep the best and the brightest! If you keep idiots around, the average guys appear very smart and can even become a CEO and make millions!

Clearly the game at DQ is how to pull a rabbit out of the hat! Earnings are negative, TIW was a waste of money, CRD was a high risk that didn't pan out. Sea Lion is another risk which if successfull will only pay dividends 4-5 years down the road. But where is a team that will ensure that project

succeeds? The project is at the end of the world with many risks!!!

Blake knows what he is doing. Risk nothing, gain nothing, and hope to survive until market turns around. He might survive but DQ might not survive him!

The nepotism pyramid is Blake's doing. There is no fix with Blake around. The sooner he is gone, the sooner DQ can fix these problems!
