If you have not received your PIP yet then they do not intend to pay it. That was what made my "Lawyering Up" worth the $1,600. Between my PIP and my Profit Sharing that they paid I netted $14,600. I only signed the waiver after the Lawyer got... — read more

We are all going down. Halliburton total employees number will drop at least between 30,000 to 40,000 employees before the third quarter. Let's just hope the baker deal fails. Baker management will run everything. Total employees between baker and... — read more 

One of the main reason we are buying blue is for technology and their products. Will HAL gather the info/patent and disband the Inteq or worst case scenario Sperry will be given away?

Hello has anybody gave any thought that this website is monitored and also decriped and ip addresses being traced? This is possible. Does anyone have any input on this? I wouldn't be surprised if this is how they will choose the next victim.

My sincerest condolences to all HAL and BHI employees being affected by all of this madness! Regardless of what they say about these reductions only being about the market conditions, I personally don't believe for a minute that either company won't... — read more 

Is the immediate headcount reduction over? Meaning the response to market conditions. That's a question, does anybody have anything to make me feel better? We've endured this last wave if you look at it as one reduction running from early January to... — read more

There were a some layoffs in January and a large amount this week. When will the next round be? I heard back in 2008/2009 they were about a month apart, followed by furloughs for several months.

Apart from the Oil Prices decline, landmark has a problem with their new software products not finding takers because of inherent weaknesses. I wonder whether this is exacerbating layoffs.

Fairfield camp shut down today.

I STILL HAVEN'T HEARD ANYONE MENTION THE BIG SERVICE PLANT IN SHREVEPORT/BOSSIER CITY LOUISIANA??????? ANY CUTS THERE??????

When I left yesterday at noon, there were 25-30 pickup trucks that had been used by us. They were bringing in more as I left... This is not related to Oil prices, it's purely driven by us buying Baker who has a fairly strong Artificial Lift arm

Bakersfield hit Monday and Tuesday, PE, CMT, logging, maintenance, BD, Engineering and bulk plant. More to come tomorrow. Around 30 let go so far.

The buses left Oak Park and North Belt carrying all the important people to San Antonio. Some are execs on the BH integration team. Not sure why they're going. In the past I have seen them call people back from the academy and lay them off.

Do you know what kind of severance pay do we get right now. I am confused about the cap (e.g., does severance has some kind of maximum value that cannot be exceeded). I am a Warehouseman in Houston, 8 years with HAL. Please let me know.

Many Cuts, Houston Campus, Carrollton, mfg at NB!

Do we have any information about this - there are many rumors but wanted to see if folks on this site heard anything about what future brings for us at Multichem

PPR's just finished. Anyone with a MM or DNM is gone. All execs gone to HalAcademy so they don't have to be bothered by the gnashing of teeth as people walked out.

If we work more than 40 hours, we are required to falsify our timesheets by entering no more than 40 hours. If we work on any burden projects and work over 40 hours that week, we are required to move any project work to offset as much of the burden... — read more

Currently at the Brighton camp: police escorting laid off workers from the property. Won't let people go to their lockers to retrieve personal items or anything. Talk about a slap in the face.

Dress accordingly.

Stay focused on your work (if you have any). You are key to the company success. Do not get distracted by the message boards, rig counts or the financial news. And most of all, do not feel the need to start working on your resume, networking with... — read more
