Guess the Lambert thing touched a few nerves, good, that guy was the biggest knob ever at NOV, good riddance to bad rubbish and bad management straight out of the 70's!

A certain person, Antony brown aka the mono sh-- stirrer, needs to keep his loud mouth opinions to his self, playing the 'I'm helping the lads keep there jobs card' isn't fooling anyone , this useless cunt is only trying to help himself, your actions will come back to haunt you , how you look your fellow workers in the face, whilst stabbing them in the back is cowardly to sat the least

Vote with your feet. If you don't like working for NOV, if you think its that bad, then you can always leave. No one is forced to work here, there are other places out there - its up to you and if you choose to stay, but still don't like it then you only have yourself to blame! Personally - how bad is it really? and is the grass really that green on the other side?

Plenty of overtime for the lads that are staying , limousines are booked and ready, smashing fook out of the overtime makes my balls feel all moist.

If you think who is in charge is actually running it well then you my "friend" are seriously deluded.. But then again you've not had a paycut or been put on the crappiest shifts going.. So yeah we all see your point... I'm alright Jack & sod the rest... Your days in the sun are numbered same as us all.. Pick the grammar out of that.. & get your application in with Lambert

To the person below, really, is that all you can say, I always think its down to upbringing, lack of vocabulary and choice of words, get real. By the way, you are correct, half the people do actually work

If any of you guys who clearly can’t read or write think that bringing back someone who was shafting you all and the company for many, many years is the answer then good luck to you when you are working for Seepex. Oh, almost forgot, that isn't going to happen because he will only take the good guys and that's none of you is it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nobody is trying to lose us customers you fool 😒 I think you have sat in too many managers meetings and are actually beginning to believe the crap you all spout.

We are losing customers because of the down turn in the market. We are losing money through shockingly poor management

Also it's not all oilfield.. The industrial side went with Lambert... & whos decision was that? Not his that's for sure... Crap decisions leading to where we are now.. Up sh-- creek

I totally agree and to put Benjamin button and big tit's overseeing oilfield also is crazy. I don't think they could eat an ice cream without getting it all over their faces. So out of place be better suited in the birdcage down town.

I understand we have to make cutbacks it is inevitable given the lack of work.But as we have no oilfield work why do we still have so many indirect staff unaffected by redundancy supporting this area.

Just look at the structure sent out a few weeks ago it's madness.

FACT you will inadvertently keep the people who have made the derogatory comments.

So good luck with that one.

FACT, NOV, yes, I said NOV and not Mono, has a very healthy order book. Despite the fact that many of you are trying desperately to help us lose customers we are still very well thought of in the market, get a reality check and the personal comments really only stand to confirm that NOV needs to get rid of some of the bad apples in the business.

You are correct in saying that the whole of the industry is suffering. Not just NOV but worldwide.

The problem we have is that yet AGAUN it's the people on the shop floor who are suffering by losing money and losing their jobs yet in Manchester NOV nobody in admin or management is affected.....yet again. And what are the odds you are one of them?

There are some crazy and very ignorant people making comments on here. Didn’t anyone listen and take on board what has been announced? Oil is suffering and not just for us in Manchester, but for the rest of NOV and the rest of the world. This situation has nothing to do with individuals or the company – it’s just fact out there in the oil world. We need to consider the effects of comments made on here to our business in the outside world and the effects on the individuals that have had the very nasty comments said about them. These comments and minds don’t belong in our company – shame on those involved!

The death knell was sounded as soon as colonel sanders came over and got rid of lambert. He may have been a dick but he knew his stuff. The place is now run by thick twats and their arse lickers. I will be surprised if the place lasts another 12 months tbh

No way would I get rid of the posh bird. She may be useless and miserable but have you seen her sweet little arse? The best thing about working there was sniffing her chair after everyone had gone home

31 redundancies = 31 LESS workers for the management/team leaders to supervise.

Not rocket science, is it ?

Every time you enter the place there's something new, professional pictures hung up everywhere - cost??? Stupid writing in the safe room (the room where no matter how much you f--- up your jobs still safe) those stupid presentation cases with a few bits of rubber in them, who is paying for all this while there are redundancies??? Also do the big Chiefs of Nov know chairman mow appointed someone just cos she was bumming him??? I bet they don't. Would love to have seen her justification for appointing him over a skilled more qualified person. Isn't he only in charge of about 5 people anyway??? How the feck can you seriously justify that?? Ting tong has taken a good, nice place to work company and completely destroyed it. Ruined it beyond recognition. Absolutely no one except her and her bum boy and posh bird are happy here any more then they try and cheap out as much as possible by offering f all for redundancy. Completely takes the piss I think it's far due time we start to stand up to her and say how it really is!
