Rumors about layoffs began circulating
It may be a false alarm, it is not my intention to cause panic, but I hear from more and more people that they are preparing for big layoffs. Does anyone have more info?
Anyone left at SRO?
I happened to drive past SRO the other day on the way to visit a customer and the place looked like a ghost town. Is anyone left over there or did they give up on having an engineering department?
HR
Anyone know what’s happening with HR?
Getting rehired was a mistake
What happened to this place, everyone is hiding out, nobody is working, and the moods are like being at a funeral. This place is not what it was six months ago. That safety meeting was a disgrace, people are amazed in shame!
Good old days
I've been here for a few years so all I know is the cr---y company I had the misfortune of joining when I didn't have any other options. There are some old-timers I work with who keep talking about the good old days when getting a job here was a... — read more
Well construction Canada
What are they doing with it ? How’s it making out
People keep leaving
Most of the best ones are already gone. Now we're at the point where even some of the laziest employees are done with WFT and are looking for something better, bringing the absurdity of this place to new levels. The leadership seems happy that the... — read more

Is anyone still employed?
OMG WFRD US DS Didn't have their cards read right last year
The DS work here in the US is set to explode, it has already doubled in the past few months and investors have high expectations for extravagant growth for the many months plus to come. The really jacked up part is that all the managers managers... — read more

Weatherford closed now Baker Hughes to close. Years of knowledge going down the drain. Feeling really sorry for all that have and are about to loose there jobs
Wireline and the GPL Group
Can someone explain to the world what it is exactly that this group does? Covid has just allowed these plugs to sit around and collect pay checks. Let’s hope previous post about Halliburton is true.
Has it worked?
Before I left a few years ago, Weatherford was trying to cut its way to profitability. Has it worked yet?
Wireline, its a done deal....
Welcome to Halliburton. It will be really interesting to see how the Globe VP and Managers fair. Most of them have been hiding / working in their home countries opposed to Houston, collecting big fat pay checks. RH is just running a friends and... — read more
I'm happy for those who left
I wish I took the opportunity to leave when it presented itself a little over a year ago. But I was an id--t. It was the height of the pandemic and I didn't want to risk losing a sure thing for what might turn out to be a temporary job. I can't... — read more
How is the job market currently?
Any news on the folks who left?
Webster Madole leaving.
Heard that today. Good riddance. Treats people like cr-p and is never happy. Incompetent nincompoop.
Dear Girish…..
In the past 5-10 years we as the core have seen several leaders in the C-suite come and go. Each having their own sl--t on the future of our organization and bring in their own team. This is a understandable practise, it’s about trust and one must... — read more
HSE is worthless
Period end of the story. Total waste or money
Global Business Product Line
This group HAS to be restructured. Whether it be Integrated Projects, DS, WC, WL, etc they all are redundant and have ivory tower arrogance. During Covid it has got so ridiculous. Barking orders from Houston and all playing the cover you a-s... — read more
Increasing incompetence?
I have friends who work in other companies in this industry and when we talk about the atmosphere in general, they also have remarks that it is amazing how much incompetence has taken hold in their companies as well. Is there any logical... — read more

Don’t Expect An Exit Interview When You Quit
Recently I quit here at Weatherford and sure, I had an exit interview. It was conducted via Teams with HR, but all they said was sign here, here, Cobra, list of phone numbers and that’s it. Not one question was asked about the employee’s experience... — read more
How would you rate your career here?
I’m satisfied, but I think I could have achieved a lot more in a company where favoritism is not as big a problem as it is here. I’ve always loved just my job but I didn't want to play games to be among someone’s favorites to achieve all my... — read more
Do nothing extra?
Ever since I started working here, I have always done a lot more than is in my job description. That has never changed. Some people say they refuse to do anything that goes beyond the scope of their job, however, I am in such a situation that I... — read more
I'm almost afraid to ask
How has morale been lately at WFT? I left about a year before the pandemic hit in big part to escape what the company had done to its employees. It felt like everybody was depressed all the time. I've been hoping that things have improved since then... — read more

1st Quarter Loss
You can put al the lipstick you want on a pig...but it is still a pig.
Not what it used to be
For those of us still hanging on by a thread, we are constantly micromanaged and consistently told we need to prove our value to the company. For what.
Wellhead is welldead
Crickets
Those who are rehired
I don’t know what percentage of those laid off are rehired, but I guess it’s very small. I am interested in those who agreed to be rehired, how much worse conditions did they agree to? From what I heard, they offered much worse conditions. It's awful... — read more
