Cost Cutting In Effect
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.
Trouble Recruiting?
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
Halliburton's direction
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?
We're due a major round of layoffs
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
What frustrates you the most here?
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.
Doing less might feel good in the short-term
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
Rampant incompetence
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
Replacements
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

Looks like we are getting manning levels up to a pay off level again. Factory full of people with no work for them. Communication briefs telling us how much work we have got to do ah well
Who's Working From Home
Got to love the price of gas. I feel your pain having to drive to North Belt everyday is taking a toll on my wallet. For those working from home, I am glad you got a raise from saving all that gas money.
What Did "Big Red" Put In The Corporate Kool Ade?
Since there has been NO whinging, whining, or moaning from the 'hands' that have appeared on here, for at least two weeks, ALL must be well within the corporate confines of Halliburton. What IS the secret of this success? BTW, how many of the... — read more

A new round is iminent
I'm shocked that it's been as long as it has without any layoffs but I think that means that a new round is closer than we think. I don't mean to spread rumors or scare people without a reason, I'm just being realistic. This management is not going... — read more

Any changes to the Halliburton vaccination policy now that the Supreme Court has confirmed the unconstitutionality of the federal mandate?
No one wants to do 12 hour shifts constantly

You are not actually required to fill out the covid vaccination survey. There is no law or policy that requires you to give Halliburton your medical information. Most states they operate out of have barred mandating the vaccine so not sure what they... — read more
Layoff
Is it coming?
No work
We don’t have any work at the moment, and our managers told us not to come to the shop. Can they do that? I’m going 2 weeks without pay should I quit or is there something I can do?
Returning to Halliburton
If somebody was laid off can they reapply for a job down the line? A friend who was part of my team was planning on applying for an opening but he isn't sure if they're just going to ignore his application. I had no idea what to tell him since I... — read more
