So glad I left WFT. This is where the haters say good ridance.... Nothing bad to say about the company. They treated me well early on. Just don't like who they become. I couldn't play along. No hard feelings on my part.

Here is the proof - Weatherford International is seventh so far in number of people who have been laid off in 2017. At least we are not in top five, I guess?... — read more

LWD is dead. Weatherford is, if they survive, going to end up back to running casing/tubing, software (as that is the new love child and they have teamed with IBM), and Artificial Lift. The rest is going to be cast aside and even some of the groups... — read more

Any updates on layoffs that are taking place at Mumbai? I am surprised that no posts are made on this.
