Thread regarding Weatherford International Ltd. layoffs

Weatherford Laboratories. You suck!

I've been with Labs for years and make under $40,000 annually. I'm a coordinator 1. I've been fed every possible line you can imagine about salary increases, such as:

  1. When things get better, salaries will go up.

  2. ISO certification will give all of us raises, just hold on

  3. HR tells us your salary and we (management) have no control over it

  4. It's just not in the budget this year, maybe next year.

  5. Keep working hard and you will be rewarded.

  6. Your work is good, but no one at this time can get 'good' reviews.

Objectively, I really don't suck at my job.. and I am (somewhat) happy to have this job. Throughout these layoffs I figured I was safe because my salary is so low for the work Weatherford gets out of me. I told my manager that if I quit and someone else is hired doing the same job, they'll make double what I make. Manager didn't disagree.

I'm fed up with Weatherford Labs' BS and plan on leaving as soon as I find something else for more money (inside or outside of Weatherford). I know WTF Labs salaries generally suck, anyone else dealing with this type of stuff?

Coordinators in Houston start at $75,000.

I guess you do not work in Houston.

I heard all the excuses in the world. I quit, not wasting time where I'm not valued but problem people and mgr's faves make more or get the raise you're not supposed to find out about. Bye Weatherford, nothing enjoyable about that job. Incompetence and lazy people is what they build their structure with and that's another reason they suck!

Labs is like working for some crappy mud logging outfit. At least in logging you can advance into geosteering, well site geology, etc. Labs is dead end.

Good for you, taking action is the best thing when your job is stagnating. Find something else and don't burn bridges when you leave. There is life after Weatherford.
