Thread regarding Baker Hughes Inc. layoffs

A short open letter to all oil execs

The oil and gas industry should not repeat the mistakes it made during the last price downfall when it laid off staff and stopped investing in research and development.

The industry has an obligation to meet future global energy demand, and that is becoming more challenging as oil and gas resources become more difficult to find and extract, so it is unwise to over-react during the current downturn. The world will need energy, and it is the duty of energy companies to deliver oil and gas to the world. Retaining talent is crucial for the future of the industry, and we should not repeat the mistakes we did in the past downturns.

You guys cry more than a Walmart employee or a Kmart employee that has to work Thanksgiving day. Except for 1 Big thing. You make or made a hell of a lot of money doing what you do. Hope your skills transfer to something similar or you can apply at the above mentioned big box stores. 😁

The executives get the gold mine, many worker bees get the shaft!

They only care about filling their pockets. All of the comments about supplying energy and how much they (we) are depended on to meet the demands went out the window with the pink slips. There are good solid hardworking people that built all of these companies and in many cases gave up time with their families and endangered their health in order to meet the demands. Looking back on it, who benefited.

I will never work for an Oil and Gas company again. There are other ways to make a living.
