Target age early 40's to 60's. They do it by having managers do a new performance review, and then have a wiz bang financial algo
deem value in financial terms. Performance versus payroll expense. Managers get the message pretty clear, give low marks on latest performance output so they can justify the ax. They give managers a list of names who report to them. Any high marks are to be elaborated and scaled with some way to measure performance if a good mark is made.
Or else.
Slick.
A.L. Oklahoma manufacturing support staff have targets on their back big time. When? April and May.
All you BHI tit sucker employees still hanging on and "survive" this next round or two, will have the worst fate, once you find out once in store for you within the HAL web.
HAL will download you, process map your job, oursource, and kick you little BHI ass out the door. They'll squeeze every last drop of juice from the orange, and let you go
Then what will you do? Watch FOX news all day. Or try to get at job at GE or SLB.
Ha ha ha.
Go find a church to pray at regularly. Get prepared now for soul searching,.
It will be a real pity if any non core business that should have been unloaded by BHI long ago, is kept under the new organization while good core people are being let go.
"Translation: Don't jump ship yet until we are done with you so we can walk you out like you stole something. "
Couldn't have said it better; exactly what happened to me along with age discrimination!!!
So, l am interpreting this as AN OPEN INVITATION TO THE NEXT TEAM MEETING. Hey everybody, see you there. Why is it that BAKER has a high-level team and HAL merely has a team.
Let's hope BHI/HAL live by their words which were posted today on sec.gov as follows: "I also recognize there is a lot of speculation regarding which businesses might stay or go as a result of this transaction. That is only natural, but I ask you to refrain from rumors and hearsay. We will communicate the facts as soon as is appropriate. Remember that well-intentioned but misguided predictions could negatively influence others."
*acquisition, not merger
When people are left in the dark, they fill in the gaps with rumors and guesswork. It's human nature to ponder what's going to happen. People's families, homes, careers are at stake.
Did you hear that they are going to let everyone go from Baker Hughes? We should all probably leave as fast as possible before Halliburton takes us over.
Rumors and more Rumors let's keep it going.
