Does Halliburton have a plan? Clean the house of high earners with knowledge and backfill with their underlings. Sounds like a win win proposition. NOT

Heard there was a layoff of atleast 4 people at HDS. Heard they were from upper management. Any more news on further layoffs?

Everyday this week I've heard Mfg. will be laying off soon. Strange though R&M seems to be extremely busy. Lots of talk about SDL being on the chopping block or being sold off & Directional apparently is simply fading away and has been for months... — read more 

Heard that layoffs are coming to distract from earnings. People will be let go starting with contractors. Does anybody have more info?

Just saw our boss in the aviation dept, who has worked for Halliburton for over 30 years, get let go today. He is around 65 so it was clear that Halliburton didn’t want to pay his retirement. Sad to see there is no loyalty anymore…someone to work... — read more 

What's your prediction as it relates to the possiblity of Halliburton layoffs? Any chatter, news or rumors?

IT remotely locked USB ports. It's beginning to look a lot like layoffs...I mean Christmas.

So, when will Jeff Miller be terminated? Halliburton is under performing and he is over compensated relative to his peers. Having worked for him before moving to significantly greener pastures I still cannot believe the crazy stuff he says and... — read more 

As oil is above $90 per barrel, surely it is time for salary increases and some exceptional bonuses!

Hey guys, anyone heard about layoffs in HDS? I heard they laid off two people to meet target

Am I hearing correctly that layoffs are coming to cementing?

There were layoffs last week. What happened?

Any updates. Was just told in September I’d be traveling from Odessa, TX to catch work with my Elite there. ?????? .

Focal point was handed out in North Belt this week. I wonder if this paltry amount was management appeasement for the masses to keep them inline or is this the baseline to determine who gets canned due to their high wage.

Yes boy and girls it's that time again. Looks like it's going to be at the end of June for HDBS. Not that hard to believe considering what it has become. Management going from bad to worse, if that was even possible. But then again we have J. Segura... — read more 

Just heard from a friend @ NorthbeltFacility Houston that QuickPulse is going away or being sold???? Not verified...but wondering if anyone else has heard the same. More dragon breath.

What a damn joke. The HR dept there is such a joke the management team is a joke.

Anyone noticed rig count & frac spreads going down in the last 5 wks lost 59 rigs & 38 frac spreads something is happening!

Hiring alot of new people, one section has all of the work subbed outside & our guys are going home due to no work or “no programs”, but “the order book is full” what could really be going on? Also the parking lot isn’t accommodating all of the new... — read more 

Rumors are flying that the field maintenance is getting tired of the manufacturing plants BS. poor service, poor communication, soaring cost, safety missed, etc. Poor leadership here at DMC is going to cost us jobs again.

Not sure if this will ruffle any feathers or not but I personally really like working here. I've been reading some posts on this forum and I was kinda surprised with how these posts are leaning towards the negative. I didn't have any negative... — read more 

What's yall take in this recent change? Are you buying the rubber stamp response from Management? Alot of people are suspicious there is something bigger brewing.

What are your thoughts about potential Halliburton layoffs? Any chatter, news or rumors?

My pay was cut, but I still have a job. in fact, now I have two to make up for what I lost.

I am a little worried because the atmosphere is very tense. I don't know how much truth is in them, but there are already rumors that layoffs are inevitable. Any new insight about possible layoffs to share?

Told in a staff meeting today that we need to hold the line on cost and expeditures. Any other departments in the same boat. I guess this is in anticipation for the global slowdown.

Is Halliburton having issues recruiting people? Seems like all the new hires that are arriving have almost no manufacturing experience. I personally don't mind, everyone starts somewhere, but it's odd to me because normally I'm used to seeing people... — read more 

I wonder whether our leadership even knows where it wants this company to be in the future. Have they completely lost direction, because that's my impression?

My biggest hope when it does happen is to see them for once get rid of people who deserve it and leave all the hard-working people alone. So far, with every layoff we lost some of our best and always kept the worst. Is it too much to ask for a... — read more 

When I saw person who doesn't have the necessary skills getting a promotion, I gave myself a deadline by which I want to find something new. I'm starting to hate this place.

I completely understand those who decide to quite quit. However, you should always look at the other side, how good or bad is it for your career in the long term? I mean, if a person cares about his or her career at all, then it is better to... — read more 

It used to be rare for someone's position to greatly exceed his or her competence. Today, incompetence no longer surprises me at all. Working here has been reduced to daily dealings with very self-confident mediocrities. How do you deal with... — read more

The general advice that everyone shares: set the boundaries and don't let them put more on your plate. However, how feasible is it in reality? My opinion is that it is pretty difficult to do. I'm interested in how much more work you do now compared... — read more 

My question is why does this company take so long to replace an employee who leaves. What's the problem? Has it become so difficult to attract solid employees, or is Halliburton not even trying to make replacements for individuals who leave? I have... — read more 

What are your thoughts on 6% focal points when inflation is at 8% or higher for everything you are purchasing right now?

There is still a relatively long time until the quarterly results. I hope the strategy works well. Are there any early predictions?
