Thread regarding McDermott International Inc. layoffs

I got hauled in for a disciplinary and was threatened with firing

I have only been working here since last year, but during lunchtime yesterday, I used a can opener tool in my Swiss pocket knife to open a can so i could microwave my lunch. Next thing I know the gestapo security folks surrounded me with an HR rep and told me my pocket knife was illegal. Im like WTF. An hour later my boss called me in his office and wrote up paperwork on me for disciplinary purposes to g in my HR file. I was like hey, I didnt know that pocket knives are forbidden here. Kidding me ??????

When my boss told me I had better not do it again I had one question. What kind of crazy place is this? Now I see what so many folks are talking about. Im looking for another job now since, I am obviously going to get canned if I stay in this hell hole.

To the loser who made the “losers” comment...thanks for being part of our Loser Club! You should run for our club president...bonuses and stock options await you! Or maybe just a new pair of blue jeans!

No, the supply room is empty because we're trying to make the quarter.

Follow processes not people. Write CMS and hire bimbos to use it! Once again, overhead. What you are not making money, I do not understand it. Look harder in CMS :).

You obviously didnt follow CMS guidelines. CMS clearly forbids sharp instruments of any kind including pocket knives and even nail clippers. If you dont follow CMS, you might as well prepare for your perp walk with that fatso Deputy Gomez who will be pleased to pull his gun on you if you dont allow him to grab your left tricep and escort you to your car.

Talk to the field guys, most have carried pocket knives since they could walk. At least you got a warning, in the field it’s immediate termination unless you and the project manager are drinking buddies. But I agree with the other comments, you may have exposed your identity. Everyone let’s not forget the most important thing-blue Jean Friday.

Based off of the post, I would say they do not care. Welcome to Corporate America!

I wouldn't care either because I could get a better job with a company that appreciates my contributions.

See I am not just overhead like management, HR, Project Management or Document Controls!

Gee, if this is true...wonder if HR will be able to identify you since this site is “anonymous”. We now know who is number 1 on the lay-off list!

It is a crazy world we live in the days. Ms Piggy and HR is a joke. Good people will not work for people like that. Where is the value in treating people like that? Lots of overhead with no real skills.
