that sparks a curious question, ..... what is the general consensus regarding the layoff numbers in Halliburton's MWD/LWD Sperry VERSUS BAKER's INTEQ ? ....... have the reductions in each been fairly even? ........Reduction numbers at Sperry's WMD/LWD/??? Consider, surely halliburton WOULD NOT take the business opportunity to thin out or perchance cripple what will be a competitor in the sometime near future? plus, ohmygaawwwwd, i'm sure the watchful eyes of the regulators would be all over that. uh-yeah, .....What's going on over at pillsbury BAKER within INTEQ? reduction numbers?......would they be afforded perhaps any measure of protected status due to HAL's plan to bring them under the big red wing. Not hearing any talk of the numbers between the outgoing and incoming divisions only spiteful banter back and forth. Wassssszuuuup?

Baker should not be holding on to people it thinks HAL wants for the merger. They are to operate as completive companies. If BHI is smart they will try to keep what they need to operate in the event HAL backs out.
about ten people where fired at CTC. some others quit. most people are on reduced working hours (up to 60% reduction). no layoffs in engineering and research yet.
