Why is the D.O.D.D still here? The slavery, the disrespect, the poor management is driving this place to the ground.

6 already gone voluntarily, 20+ more to follow.

Anyone see the article blaming the oil slump for us being slow right now? Hahah what a joke. No it’s cause their are a bunch of id–ts forcing equipment that don’t work down customers throats.

What's going on at the north Frazier location?

“We have too many locations in UK”, said in a meeting with his direct reports and one level down. FACT

NOV has a lot of great people working for it. It also has a lot of people that are coasting along or that are not capable of performing in their current positions. Managers don't take action to remove these ineffective people because it is very... —  read more
