IT middle management has ruined the IT department and outsourced to the most under qualified company they could find. Sad really, I have seen this company go from great to ran into the ground in just a few years all by power hungry managers

I saw that Helmerich&Payne had opened a position for service technician with an opportunity to advance. I applied for the previous job precisely because they also said that it was possible to advance, but it turned out to be a total lie. I came here... —  read more 

I look at other companies in this industry such as Nabors, Noble, etc and their comments. They have no comments other than layoffs, no negative comments about the management of the company. Helmerich & Payne has really developed a bad reputation... —  read more 

Looks like the Accounting Department can't handle it as per usual.

Looks like they are already hiring new people. Sad for the good people they let go.

Is it just me or has the majority of people who were laid off in their late forties and above? I have seen very few new(er) employees who ended up on the chopping block. Isn't that textbook age discrimination, which is illegal? Shouldn't there be... —  read more

This is a master thread about Helmerich & Payne Layoffs 2020? Any news or rumors?

I need to decide if I'll stay around - need a decision ASAP and cannot make a mistake. I hear that there might be layoffs in Tulsa.

Biased management. The layoffs are based on wether the supervisors like you not how you perform the job or demonstrate morale. This place is all about who your friends with within a certain "circle". I wish The president of this company would see who... —  read more 

After seeing some of the comments here I must say that most of the things that's been said are true. First of all, this company is not that bad of a place to work and there are a lot of good hardworking people in here. However, it's obvious that they... —  read more 

I suggest you need to look at some of the management at the IT department. So many IT guys left who were under this particular woman manager. Lot of people dislike this Pierson because She is disrespectful, condencending, and simply uncouth and... —  read more 

perhaps you need to advise some of the Managers or Supervisors that fraternizing with non- managerial employees who under them is totally unethical or inappropriate wether off work or during working hours. It compromises their judgement and decisions... —  read more 

Terrible place to work. Lots of gossiping, and backstabbing, unprofessional people work here and a lot of them are still here. Very hostile environment .

Will it stay open?

Lots of snakes in the grass.

There is a clear distinction between a manager with a few flaws and one who is simply doesn't care about their employees. Dealing with the latter can be anguishing and taxing. I think they need to create an assessment survey from each and every... —  read more 

There are employees who are overrated for their title position.

When you are talking about an employees or a higher up people behind their backs to another employee then you are a rotten boss and you compromised the morale of your department and your position. Bosses should be pleasant and kind, and concerned... —  read more 

Everyone seems to hate the new Oracle system. I hope it's worth what they've invested in this Program.

Administration needs to do a "spring cleaning" in this place. They need to be clear on how they do the criteria for layoffs. Some of the people that have been cut are by far do a better job and has better working ethics than the ones they kept. Some... —  read more 

More let go today.

Communication in this place is very poor. Often, employees hardly know what is going on throughout the company. Decisions are almost always made with haste without communicating to other departments. A lot of lower level employees concern or opinions... —  read more 

Do not work in this hellhole.. There are other better companies out there that treat workers better. Too many "buddies" network in this company. There are some group of people in this place like logistics who do nothing but party and visit with each... —  read more 

Are there any more layoffs in the coming months or so?

Tulsa layoffs are happening now.

Company has a very poor culture. Bunch of small town mentality people work here. There are some people in Accounts Payable Dept that watch "Hulu" all the time and no one says anything to them. The sad thing is supervisor/manager is aware of it. The... —  read more 

What is the likelihood of Helmerich & Payne layoffs in Tulsa in 2016? Please let me know if you have any information.

Now that the new year is here, I expect activity on this page to kick up shortly. What does everyone else think?

I personally wasn't surprised I got cut ,even though I loved my job there and went out of my way to do the best to be efficient.there were too many buddy-buddy "cliques" there.basically it wasn't HOW you worked,it was WHO you brown nosed!especially... —  read more 

Do we have any new info here? Are people being let go yet?

I hear some not so good news, I left the company in 2010 and was doing work for a competitor ever since. I liked folks at Helmerich and Payne, no complaints, no layoffs during my time over there.

Thoughts? Comments? Where is this taking us?

Do you know how many people work here and how many at the HQ at Tulsa?

Who's affected? Good luck.

In another round of layoffs, 30+ people laid off or "rebadged". A lot of good people let go and still a lot of questions and concerns over decisions that were made leading up to this.
