It's hard, but I really need my management bonus this year.

It's become ridiculous how much there is no longer any difference between someone who does almost nothing and a person who is exhausted from work every day. BH makes no distinction between them. Everyone knows that this is so and again there are... — read more 

If BH still wants me to do the job that a person who is level above me should be responsible for, then BH should adequately compensate me for that. I wonder how many more people are working a level above the position they are paid for? The... — read more 

Here you go! Your very own thread for all things Aberdeen. When you have something to say about Aberdeen, post it here.

To pay Lorenzo's salary, let that sink in

So very happy to no longer be with Baker. Found a better job, what a toxic mess of a company.

Terrible behaviour towards people suffering from depression. Pretend to be oh so caring but actually binning them first chance they get.

Down 2 C suites and not replacing some...? 🤔

Is it even legal for them to?

I’m sure almost everyone can testify to how the bosses here are finding ways to get rid of such people. It was shocking to me how they treated one of my colleagues, an expert in his field, who ended up quitting, starting his own business and is... — read more 

More proof Scamonelli is in trouble. 2 of his top “executives” are jumping off the sinking ship.

Those at the top work for themselves and for shareholders. The future of the company is a secondary thought to them it seems to me. Just saying. It wouldn’t bother me at all if I didn’t know it used to be a lot different here. Given how things are... — read more 

The Peter Principle is an observation that the tendency in most organizational hierarchies, such as that of a corporation, is for every employee to rise in the hierarchy through promotion until they reach a level of respective incompetence. Happens... — read more 

Seems like we're a day late & dollar short

My opinion is that it is very important to have role model employees who will teach fresh out of college hires important things so that they can do their job as well as possible. When I first came here, it was very important for me to learn as much... — read more 

Excellent 4th quarter profit on its way. Perfect execution by our executives

I heard a rumor from a colleague at Emmott Rd that it’s going to close soon. I haven’t seen any jobs posted for that site internally. Is it a sinking ship?

Many agree that it was then that the downfall began. I often think about what it would be like today if merger never happened.

Over the last 3-4 months MCB (dragon lady) sold every bit of BKR stock she owns. I checked, double checked, and triple checked. She has gotten rid of it all. What does she know? Is the stock going down soon or is she planning to exit? Something is up... — read more 

What appalling untruth has a BH manager ever told you.

Only the rats are left.......

Of course, our perceptions of fairness are not the same, the fairness is an ideal that is difficult to achieve and complete fairness should not be expected at all times anywhere, and especially not at BH. However, most will agree that many things... — read more 

I’ve figured out the secret to doing well at Baker. Do the bare minimum. Seriously, I’ve been slacking off for a year. Doing that absolutely least amount of work I can get away with and the work I do is trash. My manager just left now I’m getting... — read more 

Unfortunately items are missing and an IOU note found inside.

If interest rates go up, economic activity slows. And our cost of capital goes up. Both will push us further into the red. Are we paying our vendors? Is the accounting group tasked with looking for pockets of cash that can be brought home?

I used to take my manager and our leadership very seriously. Now I am completely numb when I hear what they are saying. I am literally ashamed to hear them talking very confidently about something that no one believes in anymore. Or maybe there is... — read more 

Thoughts? Comments?

And what would you give him after a tumultuous 2021 ?

I think everyone is pretty demotivated and the morale has really never been worse. I don't know what demotivates me more, my clueless manager who is a rather irrational person or our leadership which I think doesn't have any concrete plan or vision... — read more

Throw enough of it against the wall and hope it sticks. What a $14 million fraud

A company is skewered for the mass layoffs via Zoom… Know what? I can think of another 💩 company that did the same! Now 11M job openings and people are quitting in droves. Everywhere. [middle fingers pointed at the BHI central offices] GO F... — read more 

Look at BKR's balance sheet. $34 bn to $18b in one year, 2020. Down another $1 bn at the end of Q3. Wrong direction! Banks don't like to lend money to companies that are under water. What you waiting for, a visit with HR?

Walk out right in front of their face!

$2m in used banknotes hidden in wooden crate.

https://mobile.reuters.com/article/amp/idUSKBN1JM312 Has it gotten better since the article?

BH thinks so.

Remember those? When leadership sent surveys to employees asking for input on how they felt things were running? Yeah, never happening again
