Thread regarding National Oilwell Varco Inc. layoffs

Only serious qualified experienced professionals please....

Corporate smug here. Been here for 15 years now. Haven't you heard? We get all the benefits and all the extras. We are the GOLDEN child of NOV. The rest of you at other NOV locations are the goats and the ghosts. Sorry but that's just the way it is. Why do you think you all try to transfer here. I don't mind however it's the troublemakers who are transferred in from manufacturing and other locations that ruin everything for the rest of us here at Corporate. Some of us who've been here and not transferred in have degrees and experience or both. Those who get transferred here with no education and no experience cause all the trouble especially those who once worked with their spouse at a manufacturing location. It's all dirty deeds.

Quality has gone down hill here. Someone said at another thread, it's not what you know but who you know. Well that just proves what I'm saying...they are manipulating their way into corporate. No degree and no experience. I'm not talking about those who've gone to school and earned a degree to better themselves once they transfer here. It's the drama moochers, the vampires and the leeching troublemakers who come here and don't know a damn thing. They cause strife between employees, cause the company a lot of money, they're more trouble than they are worth. What do the vampires, moochers and leeches do all day? That's simple. Absolutely nothing. They warm a chair for an hour or two while surfing the net or sit back at home and collect a paycheck. Their supervisor is fully aware they are robbing the company? Does it matter to them? Hell NO! They look the other way & cover up for them. People with families who really need their job and work hard are getting laid off? Whoa! Now that's beyond obscene.

I have seen highly educated employees that didn't have sense enough to pour piss out of their boots. Almost ruined a NOV facility. As far as the so called Goats they are the ones that are keeping NOV afloat right now. I think you are full of yourself and need a good lesson in what hard work is. You are definitely a city boy.

Smug,

I totally agree with you. I have been on both sides of the fence (manf. & office), there are a lot of good people at NOV that are educated, but they suffer just because those "other people" know someone, and those are the ones to whom you are referring to. I have been here for 19 years, was in the manufacturing realm, and realized very quickly that I was working with a bunch of animals. I decided at the age of 42 to go back to college, and finish my education to get my BA in business management. I got out of the zoo, and bettered my life, and that of my families. I can't believe how much scum I have seen hired, but that's the nature of the beast.

Even though were on two different sides of the fence I got news for you buddy, even the "goats" deal with this. Troublemakers and clicks or (Good Ol Boys) so to speak, are integrated into every fabric of political structure... The only real way around this is to intelligently, and methodically, calculate a way to handle the situation. All the help and support you can get will help you. Pressure control group is full of this bullshit. But then again so is life. Remember this. They count on you being a coward, and they aren't as smart as you think .... Speak silently and move purposefully.
