If you were in a Union you would been taken care of .but you are not and you are on your own cause upper management doesn't give a damn about you
It still hurts back there.
Spineless
I had been with Baker for quite a while and was one of the Q1 7000. I think that I was treated fairly by my boss and was given a decent severance package. Since I've been gone, HR has responded to my questions and emails. The Benefits Center has been very helpful as well. I also have maintained contact with some of my old work folks. I'd been layed off from a company before Baker and have to say that this time around is waaaaaay better than what happened at the other company.
A "few" years ago, Baker was a fun place to work. Not anymore in any way, shape or form. Being laid off is one thing, but treating the employee like a prisoner during the layoff is totally humiliating and uncalled for. It is quite obvious that many responders to this post have not had "the treatment".
You owe the company a days labor. The company owes you a days pay. That is all. The company is not here to cuddle you when you're scared, wipe your...nose, keeping paying you when they don't have work for you, or raise you like a child. It's business. Grow up. Quit whining. Move forward with your life. You've heard that saying "Laugh and the world laughs with you. Cry and you cry alone"? You cry alone cause nobody wants to be around a crybaby.
Not sure what division you worked in, but I hear Saudi Arabia are hiring across all divisions.
Maybe the drug testing worked happy 4/20
Take the redundancy and get a real job. Its like winning the lottery ! stop complaining and enjoy your life with the package.
Obviously a lot of responses from those who have not gotten the shaft yet.
Did you get it in writing that you would be taken care for your hard work and loyalty to Baker? You are a fool.
They paid you well for 20 years. Now you want a medal as well?
stop complaining...
This board reminds me of the saying, "You can always tell who was skinny dipping when the tide goes out."
That is how Baker has always been why is any one that has been there 20 years surprised when it is done to them.
They paid you a salary and benefits for the past twenty years. What else do you expect??
You survived 20 years? Many were not so lucky.
