Thread regarding Weatherford International Ltd. layoffs

How does it take a mass layoff to unearth employees with managerial powers who may have been misusing these powers for their own gain? Surely that's why we have an HR department nobody should be bigger than the company? This man Biddle and his family are coming up in a lot of posts here if what's being said is true then surely they have come to the attention of HR or higher? Or are these just the ranting's of a disgruntled employee looking for a escape goat if so then its a dangerous game to play! I am all for free speech if someone breaks the rules we all abide by then yes expose them although if false then shame on you..If the person or persons making these claims could post prove of any wrong doings be it by email, video or paper trails then this Biddlegate conspiracy might be believed. Myself reading these posts I think they are just made up ramblings from a disgruntled employee who's using Biddle and his family as an easy target and trolling every post with hate filled comments.

Yep there you go

Close enough, There it is again

Not all comments will agree with the posts and you shouldn't think you know who posted them.

What is so amusing here is if you just don't respond, It will just go away in time. You who try so hard to defend someone calling people stupid, Saying you are making comments you don't know what you are talking about, R.B doesn't follow social media is about the funniest thing I have ever heard, Jesus for anyone to defend this shit like this is is is ready for it. Daughter , Son, Dad. I bet you will say ready for it. Their you go again Making assumption, On things you know nothing about, Just know I laugh my ass off every time you say that. Please note the more you defend this shit. The more posts that will be made. Let it go. You make threats that the internet stores all info like it is a threat, Bring it on by the time you spend all your money only to find a lot of truth' Some probably not jury is out, You will probably be shocked yourself.. So I say let it go, You just inflame (Create ) Invite the next post. What I know is if you have nothing to defend don't defend it don't waste your time on BS, Do you know by making these comment makes someone look guilty by the fact you continue to keep it festered. Here is what is true, Real facts documented proof of wrong doing. Any communication written or documented on paper with signatures and the like, Company or personal, Depositions under oath, Don't waste your time on defending something you feel you don't have to. The more you try to change the tone. The more people think huh fighting to hard to defend. Whats up with that. In time it will go away

Not any worse than the GM in Midland screwing the HR Manager he brought over from Baker Hughes with him. I wonder if his wife knows...yet!!!!!

89210- straight from the horse's mouth. His words

Edward should have been gone when he appointed Tracie Bitch-love as Area manager for pacific. I know there was more worthy candidates then her to select from. I guess in that case "its not what you know its who you blow" I seen Tracie and Ed after work hours been very flirty & lovey dovey... Im not judging the man but he sure does have poor taste for women. Anyways if Ed does retire who will promote and protect his two sons??? That boat in the pacific is sinking quick. I feel sorry for all the casualties that had to be sacrificed because traice did not like them. All I can say about the our leadership is pathetic.

89195- and how do you know this? Is this just another piece of the rumor mill. Unfortunately, upper management seems top heavy and the new top people that were brought in will cut the ones who actually are working for the good of the company,( no matter what the employees who aren't seeing what is done for them think). The ones who sit on their lazy behinds and just put in their time are kept of course. Thinking changes in area management would help. This company is a corporate mess. It should be remembered that Ed was a part of the original company before it was sold out to a corporation. Anyway guessing and gossiping is what started this mess.

Ed has one foot out the door, unfortunately. They are going to drop him soon. He is a good guy and I hate it for him.

88985-What are you trying to say??? Clarification?

Ditto to mysterious anonymous 88972, trying to fill up space double posting? Or think others are as goofy as you and would think 2 people would have the exact statement?

in response to the" mysterious anonymou" 88973- Demoted??? "consultant" in quotes, almost led away in handcuffs? My aren't you the dramatic one. YOU try speaking the TRUTH oh but right, you do not know it. Sounds like you are very uninformed with all the accusations you are making. Be careful of libel statements-look it up you are publishing your untruths and as someone else said, you put it on the internet, it can be tracked. And did you decide you better kiss up to Eddie???

What makes you think consulting is being "reduced" from management? Ever consider maybe that is what he wanted? Sounds like you are a wanna be with your self-important mighty recommendations. Bet you couldn't stand the stress of being a manager having to deal with the likes of you all day.

West Coast California-YOU are acting like a thug with this word for word repost nonsense ranting.

You must be an idiot. I hope they laid you off. Get over it and go get a job.

89407, your statement is a bit convoluted, but think what you are trying to say is there are differing opinions and knowledge out there. State something, it may be disagreed with, which is what discussion is. Seems this has turned into a hateful bash Biddle and his kid forum. Usually this kind of mentality comes from ones who don't know the real facts and jump on the ole band wagon. One person tells the next something they "think" is happening, the next adds to it, so and so on. This is what happens when upper management wants to keep everything secret from salaries on up to where the company is really headed. There is always the need to blame someone and people will find someones feet to lay it at.

I think people should have the right to say what they want if you don't agree then don't respond if you feel like to need to respond you can do it respectively.

And that is why most MAJOR oilfield companies don't hire family members in the same division much less father /son. I think I have heard it all now. Weatherford doesn't pay vendors, cheats on taxes and has been caught for bribery and let's not forget the managers get paid very well to do this. Disgusting!!!!!!! Now ask yourself why is this company in trouble. ANSWER it's not just the price drop in oil.

Anonymous88973 Am not following what you are sayin, please explain.

Words can't change the truth so anonymous 88973 should stop stating things that just are not true and they obviously don't know anything about. Why are the same old posts being reposted under new headings?

Have you ever heard the term? Keep your friends close

Keep your enimies closer. A dissision management needed

To make to keep peace in the field so they would not loose anywork

Other reasons as well..

Please tell how he came to work.

I agree Truth Is Truth and what is and done can't be changed, Just because they whomever wants to hold the truth back.

Question! Does anyone know how Biddle came to work for weatherford. I gets better.

I agree Ed sons are good and caring men. They all have worked in the shop

And have learned bottom up. For the time they spent in the shop. It is a pleasure knowing

And working with them

Yes there are many fathers and sons working at weatherford. And EDs' sons are a good example of how it should be. They actuallly do their jobs well, professionally and independant of Ed. Unlike Rons diapered baby boy who is coddled at every turn and calls Daddy to bail him out and sweep his mistakes under the rug. It's a standing joke in the patch. BTW EDs' sons have been working at weatherford since they were in middle school and have spent more time in the shop than Ron or his little boy. And in response to the "mystery anonymous 88797 man" with the very unprofessional comment asking " How are you all liking the commission bonus this month." Well, they are probably liking it about as much as someone likes being demoted from district manager to "consultant" and watching his boy nearly being lead away in handcuffs. Rumors are one thing but truth is power. Speak TRUTH !

I would think Informed and Sad is anything but informed. I question the morals of many of the workers making these comments on the heresay of a trouble maker spreading rumors about coworkers. Obviously someone is buddying up to upper management to stir the pot to arrange working conditions to their liking. Maybe you should wonder about the informers. Disgruntled underachievers feeling threatened that young blood was doing a better job than them?, so spread the rumors.
