I wanted to share some information I got from calling TWC (finally got through). This pertains particularly to my fellow 1000+ colleagues laid off from NB last week. So I finally got some straight answers from unemployment I thought would be... — read more

Buckle up
Another 10,000 employees to hit target
We are just starting with 1,000 Layoffs
You know this is just the beginning, right? If you got axed, sorry about that. Nothing personal, ok? If you are still working, don't get too comfortable, you are "on deck." If you are at the dugout, don't ever b–ch again for being a... — read more
HAL computer for personal use
If we get laid off, is there really anything they will do if we don’t turn in the phone and computer. I mean Im sure they try to scare you but is there anything they will actually do?
HR is a bunch of talentless clowns
From the very top it’s laughable all the way to the bottom of the very shallow talent pool
Turn off your phones
If HR can’t get a hold of you, you’re never laid off. Also turn off teams and don’t respond to any emails.
How convenient
It looks like once again those with more years/higher pay are the first ones to go and newbies who barely know what they're doing are still employed. Why am I not surprised one bit? If you are over 50 you should be looking for a new job - it seems... — read more
I wonder if the top Hall executives ever come to this website to see what below them are talking.
Based on some comments here I think some check this website and even comment, but could be that they are too busy to waste their time.
How Hal laid off 1000 ppl ?
If the NB center was closed because the COVID-19, how did they take you the the HR office for kicking out ?
Unemployment + pandemic benefits
Any idea if both benefits 521 and 600 might be extended up to 39 weeks or just the pandemic one for 39 weeks, $600? If so, will they be extended by default or will be reviewed case by case? Thank you.

Kodachrome
We are witnessing a Kodak moment. A contraction of an industry is taking place, it may spurt and stutter, but the overall trend is getting smaller. True, the innovative and those who adapt to change will survive. Ask yourself how innovative HAL... — read more

Haven't heard from a friend yet today. Anybody know if they're letting go of the software devs and data scientists?
Rumor on the streets of Calgary
there are rumors floating around Calgary that Canadian operations will be shut down. Any truth
Stock Holder! Stock Holder! Lend me your ear!
STOCK HOLDER!: While Halliburton is reducing their work force globally you must demand that they dispense with their heavy manager to worker ratio. FYI: Their management structure is riddled with obscure positions and vague reporting structures... — read more
How did the NB supply chain team fare through the week?
Any news from the supply chain side of the business?
Safety for employees who remain
Suppose to go back on Monday, wondering for the remainder of us that are in the buildings, if our trusted leaders have taken any precautions for our safety against this virus?
Has anyone been laid off from the Energy services group?
Wondering if it is safe for now. I had an interview lined up with them before the pandemic as a data scientist. Should I still pursue it?
Is it over now? Or just FOR now?

As the riffs sweep through the company and finally come to a close, there will be wounds on both sides. There are those who are gone that feel that they have lost everything, you have not. You've been given an opportunity that you will soon... — read more
A message from a field hand to NB and the Executives
I was in Houston during the slowdown in 15’. Probably reallocated some vehicles from your former management. That was cool seeing company vehicles without numbers and logos gone away. Looked like a bit of fairness. Being that said, it s—s for... — read more

NB Infrastructure and IT teams starting to get cut today and likely to continue
Confirmed several of the best and most Sr. technicians and managers have been let go in the last two days, and the team was small already. The target seems to be essential teams in cloud and essential services, but there have been moves by exec... — read more
