Don’t rush into waking the sales team, wait long enough they will all leave and find better roles with a future, all except of course the mixing sales people who are just hanging in to see what happens

Maybe NOV are losing the wrong customers but retaining the right customers.
Not all customers are wrong and not all customers are right im possitive everything shall naturally fall into place if not just sack the Sales team

If the workload is really steady then why does the manufacturing side continue to work overtime and weekends, surely this should be saved until the workload dictates this is needed!
Don’t know why I’m asking really, it’s always been like this at Manchester, we have been making people redundant and still manufacturing works seven days a week with premium rates being paid, go figure.

Steady flow of work in the coming months. So forget your layoffs. But several of the office staff seem to be jumping ship for more money. With many more soon to follow.
