That useless VP of 'M'ud'L'iners at the tower is another example of how bad this company is top heavy. The guy does nothing but hoot and holler about nothing when he is not sleeping in his office. Brings absolutely nothing to the table. Did notice... — read more 

Long story short, layoffs will be happening up to 50% of the remaining workforce will be laid off.

Is it just me or have we been having small but constant layoffs with no pause for months now?

Realistically, how much longer can NOV operate? All BU’s are in the c-apper. So many cuts are being made that if business was to pick up, we wouldn’t have the personnel to get the work done. Can this company really make it another year in this... — read more 

Just got laid off. Does anyone know if you can still collect unemployment if you have received a severance package. With my relatively short time at NOV, it wasn't much.

All staff meeting today, and already in a number of Norwegian news outlets.

Anyone working Saturday? I am! No stopping us Manchester number1.
