The most common and destructive toxic behaviors of toxic co workers:
backstabbing, criticizing, and blaming
gossiping and spreading rumors
agreeing in meetings, but not following through afterward
hoarding information
purposely undermining others
caring only about personal agendas (over team and company goals)
Stolen from @4jsj+17MCGbqo. Tell me this isn't 90 percent of NOV workforce?
In Conroe/Brandt it’s done on purpose. The only time the top guy in eng is happy is when everybody is backstabbing each other, basically, doing all the dirty work for him keeping everybody scared and running around like chicken.
I try so hard, I get the best gossip and people don’t appreciate it. Life is gossip y’all don’t understand. Bus throwing is an art.
They want to moan and groan but they have nothing about them to go off the lazy fat a– and get another job elsewhere.
Rather than moaning and complaining all day you could always go find another job. Taco Bell and Big Red are always hiring.
Let’s compare a few of points from Pete’s NOV to lil Klay’s NOV?
Most profitable years under Pete. Klay has yet to make this company profitable.
Best morale and motivation under Pete. Worst culture under Klay and his Varco minion management teams.
Pete was a respected CEO in the Industry compared to a CEO who just talks a lot of $ht
A people’s CEO compared to a stand-offish guy with a Napoleon complex.
Feel free to add or not from list. Fact is, if you ever talk with the previous CEO, his biggest regret was leaving this successful company he built to a t–d flushing it down the toilet.
IRI was a great place to work before NOV bought them out. The facility I worked in never recovered from from the Plant Manager and his trusty sidekick that NOV put in place in early 2000. Management changed a few times but was never any better.
The Lunatics have taken over at NOV
Would you please just shut the hell up, who really cares 🙄
In response to @1zcp+17RT9Ybm
You forgot to mention, replaced by cheap consultants and offshore workers too!
Calm down, people... arguing who’s best between old NOI and Varco is like arguing who was the best athlete in a particular sport... it just really doesn’t matter.
Reality is EVERYONE who BUILT the different businesses is gone, replaced by incompetent order-takers and undeserving Next-Gens.
K–l the NOI/Varco beef... it’s no longer relevant. Let’s just watch this dumpster fire burn white hot and come down upon itself!!
THIS is the same at greengate. Same old people on sick milking the sick pay we have. Year in year old
Soon it wont be here with this covid. This will be the next thing the yanks take off us .
The Varco management was toxic, toxic like a Segway rider. What is sad is they don’t even know it. It was so unhealthy and I’m blessed not to be a part of it anymore. It is like an
Infected cyst bout to bust.
Why does NOV still employ sales guys that haven’t made a sale since 2014?
So the saying goes, "here I sit arsee cheeks a flexin, givin birth to another Texan. Can't say I'm suprised.
The downfall of this company was the introduction of the SICK environment that came with the Varco Merger. As a previous NOI employees from the early 1990's it became VERY clear to me the poisoned culture that was introduced into NOI from the new Varco employee base. It was a cancer that spread like wildfire but really accelerated with the stepping down of Pete Miller and the exit of all the legacy NOI upper management. The poison/cancerous employee culture of Varco destroyed the company.
Well said, that’s very true and is causing the collapse of the business
That is true and as someone who left NOV about 7 years ago I can tell you that is almost by design. The management team put in place after NOI/Varco merger behaved this way. If you pushed change you were blamed. The status quo crowd pushed out those who wanted to change and make things better. They weren't listened to, rather they were run off. Do that for more than a few years and the only people who could be left are the one's you've pointed out. Management has made sure there are only people like themselves because they lack the leadership and humility to allow people to grow and make changes.
