Rumors are we are going to be sold first quarter of 2023. Any body hear anything else
Going to a smaller company
I think it would feel very odd to go to a smaller company after so many years here, but there are many who say they are very happy after just such a decision. I still find it hard to believe that smaller companies offer better benefits than here... — read more
Hiring challenges
I am still doing the work of colleagues who left a while ago. The company replaced them with new hires who, in my opinion, are not at all competent for those roles. So I'm wondering, is SLB having hiring issues? Can they not find adequate... — read more
How much salary rise of your location?
There is a salary rise from this June for some employees of every location, and, indeed, all the sales guys get this benefit, how about the other people and how much percentage?

Layoffs are happening today.
Former HTX SLB, is your new company better?
To those in the Houston area that left or were let go: Is your new company better? Care to share company names? As frustrated as I am, everyone I know is dealing with same sh*t in a new box.
SLP-3 time
How’s that working out for everyone? Happy?, or shafted?
Oil and Gaslit
Would anyone here be interested in reading my Wordpress blog on the ramifications of SLB’s false layoff narratives against wrongfully terminated employees during Covid in 2020? Just curious as to how many of you were (as their attorney denies it... — read more

It's a miracle!
I have just seen the first office worker of spring and in their contractual habitat. How many have slithered back in where you work?

Meeting objectives
It has become so stressful to work here. Although I have many years of experience, I'm starting to feel like I don't know how to do my job properly at all. Let's have a sincere discussion about this: has meeting objectives become more difficult for... — read more
What convinced you that it's not worth working hard?
In fact, the most important thing is to work smart, not hard, that is, do the best you can without straining yourself too much, or just enough so the manager gets the impression that you are putting in a real effort. It’s ugly, but I notice that all... — read more
"Schlumberger adjusts operations planning as U.S. COVID-19 cases soar"
What does it mean? https://www.reuters.com/business/energy/exclusive-schlumberger-adjusts-operations-planning-us-covid-19-cases-soar-2022-01-07/
Schlumberger is not the worst
I worked at several companies that were worse than Schlumberger. It's not an ideal workplace, but at least I'm not expected to be on call 24/7 by my manager and I don't have to navigate a work culture that promotes backstabbing to advance your... — read more
Have you ever felt valued in this company?
Suddenly everyone is talking about not being valued. I don't have that feeling because I've never asked for anything more than pay. My question is: have you ever felt valued here?
Where's my watch?
Has anyone else had difficulty in getting their 20 years service award watch? Mine is already a year overdue and HR seems to have run out of excuses.
They're not even trying to hide it anymore
Think about this, how many PIPs do you know in the last 12 months that were given to people who were bad performers? Now think about how many made you do a double-take because they made absolutely no sense at all? They're now just using PIPs to get... — read more

Attrition rate is worrying
I doubt that SLB can do anything anymore to keep the best people. Or can it?
Adapt to survive
The company couldn’t influence the changes that have taken place in the industry, but I think it could have better adapted to a low-carbon era. Perhaps Schlumberger could better navigate the energy transition?
Not interested in O&G or not interested in SLB
I talked to a friend from another oil company about it and he told me that they are not in any better situation when it comes to attracting talented and capable new young people. Still, it seems to me that even those who are interested in this... — read more
Schlumberger Layoffs 2022
Do you think there will be Schlumberger layoffs? Any chatter, news or rumors?
We need to start preparing on time
Now it seems like everything is under control, there is no talk of layoffs, the company has beat Q3 profit estimates as oilfield activity recovers, the atmosphere is finally a bit more relaxed, but,,,, I am personally afraid that it will not last... — read more
How is SAP doing?
I left SLB last year during layoffs. Heard from current inmates at SLB that SAP X2 went live which is so bad in UK that one of the Product Centre will be closed if they don't get their act together. Is this true?
Everyone should take responsibility for themselves
I stumbled upon this forum by chance and the amount of negativity here is amazing. I agree with some posts I’ve read that some things here aren’t really good, but c’mon, it’s not all that bad either. If Schlumberger was the only company I ever... — read more
Should I Sue SLB: fire me before joining
Last year got an offer from SLB. Background check, dr-g test all passed. Instructed by SLB HR, I gave my previous employer a 2-week notice. Right before the start date, SLB notified me they rescinded the offer. I was left unemployed.
Career advancement
In my case there has been no career progression for a long time so now I'm considering leaving. I tried but I didn’t achieve anything significant here and I don’t believe the problem was in me anymore. Honestly, how much were you able to grow a... — read more
Lack of innovation
Is the reason for lack of innovation really a ridiculous bonus system like someone said? Or should the reasons for lack of innovation be sought elsewhere? I would like this to be a much more innovative company than it is.
What would good management do?
I don't like what the current management has turned this company into. In my opinion, Schlumberger could have been a much better place, if only there were some other people in the top positions who would know how to use both the potential of the... — read more
Is Schlumberger trying to keep anyone?
I recently left SLB. They magically had a 10% increase as an offer for me to stay. I had a good laugh Is it possible that this happened? Is this a joke? I can’t believe they’re trying to keep anyone. My colleague was the kind of employee many... — read more

Yes man daily
To some extent I understand all those yes man who do exactly what they’re told and who don’t think for themselves, because here it seems impossible to achieve anything if you’re not one of those irritating people. How many times a week do you get... — read more
