You guys shouldn't read this blog. It's so negative and bad for your health (mental). You gotta look out for you. Do what you gotta do. Nobody is forcing you to be stuck at NOV if you hate it so much and if I was the CEO, I wouldn't want such negative, demoralizing people at my company anyway. You also can't control what other people do. You can only control yourselves. Have a spectacular day. Peace out.

DEAR Anonymous152343 I AM NOT SURE WHAT SOUNDS DILDOS MAKE BUT I'M GUESSING YOU DO SINCE THEY ARE CONSTANTLY UP YOUR A$$. IF YOU WANT TO BE THE GRAMMAR POLICE BY ALL MEANS GO RIGHT AHEAD ITS OBVIOUS YOU GOT NOTHING ELSE TO DO. MAYBE YOU SHOULD THINK ABOUT BEING A WRITING INSTRUCTOR INSTEAD OF A USELESS TITT AT NOV. THE POINT IS CLEAR, YOU ARE AN IDIOT.
Manager 101: your name should be dildo because you sure do sound like one. Stop abusing the CAP LOCK KEY. First of all, you missed the point, which isn't surprising at all. Second, it's "nowhere" and not, "no where." Third, you really need to learn what pronouns are and how to use them. Fourth, you need to learn how to use punctuation. And last, it is obvious why you go CAP LOCK happy in your response. No one will ever take you seriously with that kind of writing. You're either illiterate and seriously lack any writing skills or to lazy to write properly or just seeking attention or quite possibly, all of the above. What a dumbass. Lol

To Manager 101: It looks like you went to a lot of effort to write this. I started to go over it but it is all CAPITALS which makes it very difficult to read so I gave up. I'm quite sure I'm not the only one. Good luck with your next writing endeavor and make sure to turn off the CAPS lock. Remember, its not just the content - it needs to be readable as well.
Lol
This is not a blog
CONTROLLING - Both Overt and Covert Narcissists attempt to control the realities of those above them, their peers, and their followers or those below them by acting as gate keepers of all communication and information. Narcissists know that perception is reality and they know how to manage and manipulate others perceptions via the control of interactions, information, and communication between parties.
Narcissists typically “insert” themself between themself and other communicating parties to control perceptions. Given they stage manage their whole life and reality it is not surprising they invest in this micro-managing behaviour of others. Deep inside, all narcissists fear being uncovered and exposed, and also judged and criticised, and so by “tracking” and controlling all communication, and altering that communication and resulting perception, they stay in control, and maintain their “marionette” or puppet like control of others realities about themself, others, and events.
This is a critical function of narcissists who feel they must work one-on-one with those around them in a manipulative fashion, and prevent a “bigger picture”, or comparison of versions of events being shared across stakeholders. It is often only after narcissists are uncovered and exposed, do “sidekicks”, peers and those above them come to realise how they have been deceived and manipulated in this way, often for some period of time.
Narcissists also cultivate “sidekicks” into becoming informers for them as part of managing the flow of information and events, as their paranoid reality sees everyone as a potential threat of uncovering their false reality. Narcissists denounce critics as being envious of them and their achievements.
EMOTIONAL OUTBURSTS – the overt Narcissist reacts to and is overly sensitive to any criticism or threat of being exposed, which is countered with rage and retribution. As the narcissist is always right in their own mind, and will lie without conscience, you cannot constructively argue or negotiate with them. They will attack and humiliate those who they already judge as inferior, which is most of the rest of us.
An aggressive attack is not only usually effective against those who are defenceless or in an unequal power relationship with the narcissist, but in the moment the aggression overcomes any other uncomfortable feelings from coming up which the narcissist finds hard to tolerate.
The Covert Narcissist rarely erupts into emotional outbursts as they are invested in maintaining control. Their reaction may be to punish via withdrawal, silence, or going off and doing their own activity and then stating carefully “you made me do this”.
In either case if someone has equal or more power, or the resources the narcissist needs, or is effectively a peer, then the social mask is maintained and they feign but do not feel fake humiliation and shame.
In both types they take criticism personally as it threatens their whole false self, and so a tantrum may erupt which the social mask cannot contain, and they will mark anyone who crosses them with plans for revenge, humiliation and destruction, which then dominate their paranoid thinking.
Manager 101 Looks like we triggered NARCISSISTIC INJURY with what was said. Typical. Covert Narcissists hate being exposed! Lol! First step in recovery...,,Acknowledge your personality disorder and accept you're damaged and f***ed up! Now get some help!

I find the following interesting and seen this in my department.
NARCISSISTIC EGO SUPPLY requires constant admiration and recognition from others. They will gather a following of needy or co-dependent followers and “sidekicks” who feed their narcissistic ego supplies by reminding them of how good they are, idealising them, putting them on a pedestal. The understated Covert Narcissist uses silence and looks to control their partners.
The follower will also self-delude themself that they are privileged and “seen” and “wanted” by being hard working “special” persons of interest to the narcissist. The sidekick is essentially co-dependent with the narcissist, often having a “caretaker” or low self-image personality disorder themself. This starts to create the basis of a cult dynamic.
Narcissists often are cult leaders or start groups that elevate them alone to a “special” status. In organisations the “special” end game is to get to the top, get on the Board of Directors, and/or be the CEO where money, power, publicity, status and greatness all lie in wait for them.
NOTED: There is a stereotype out there that the majority of narcissists are male. Not true. There are just as many or more female narcissists who are engaging in narcissistic abuse. The way females express their abuse and express their narcissism is different than men. It usually gets dismissed as hormonal. A maniacal covert narcissist. Hidden agendas. It's all secret. She will present herself to be the victim in a very covert way to seem very believable. One of the traits is a "cool" woman. It's only a facade. It's when you get to know her the mask will begin to slip. Appearing caring and thoughtful until you realize there's a hidden agenda. You will notice every time she does something caring and thoughtful - the only time she does it is when she has a personal agenda - she's doing it to get something from you. She enjoys redifining words. Changing what she said around in order to change the agenda. She will not take the blame and will not let anyone see her selfish behaviors. Good at crocodile tears too! She always want to control the situation. Everything is about control to her because control means safety. Be aware of the manipulation. Manipulation requires multi tasking. What she does and say are two different things. Typical con artist. Pretend to be sweet and kind but the behavior is completely different. Can con men and women. She needs the attention of a lot of different men. She cannot deal with not having mens' attention. When you uncover a secret narcissist, see how with their double-edged sword, they give with one hand and take back with the other. Take her gifts at your peril............. People with Narcissistic Personality Disorder often feel devastated when they realize that they have normal, average human limitations; that they are not as special as they think, or that others don't admire them as much as they would like. These realizations are often accompanied by feelings of intense anger or shame that they sometimes take out on other people. Their need to be powerful, and admired, coupled with a lack of empathy for others, makes for conflictual relationships that are often superficial and devoid of real intimacy and caring.
FAIR, UNBIAS & HONEST REPLY:
Here's the deal, I am a fair person, I would say every word that's mentioned here are true. Let's face it! I've seen them, experienced them, and fought them!
HOWEVER, THERE IS STILL A HANDFUL OF GOOD PEOPLE IN THE UPPER MANAGEMENT. But the issue is, these " unethical behaviours mentioned here" do not reach to them. No one is brave enough to go to the top! There is a chain of command, this is the secret in resolving "unethical behaviours, incompetent managers' performance..etc. I've heard some people, they went to HR directly. No, because if you go to HR, the upper management will wash their hands off. But go to your Manager, if no action taken, go to your manager's' manager, then to your VP, then to your VP's VP, then to your President then to the CEO. Then go to HR.
In regards to some doing " unethical behaviour" to get what they want, has happened!
In regards to some incompetent managers who ganged up with other incompetent Managers, use their power to kick some good, honest and brilliant employees, Yep, I've seen these things. THIS IS SOMETHING that THE UPPER MANAGEMENT SHOULD TAKE A LOOK. They need to take a survey from the employees discretely.
Is NOV the worse company to work for? ABSOLUTELY NOT! NOV gives out big bonuses, still laid back. We can work from home if needed! We can make personal calls. But again, there are some managers who either NEED to get fired, replaced or need to be evaluated. There are some who are good and there are some who are abusing their power.
Is it all about " whom you know". Yes, it matters whom you know. It just depends on how do you use this leverage.
It is unfortunate that there are some who did not try to get their complaints resolved and walked away. Some got lucky to be around!
NOV is still a good place to work!
You obviously work in the wellbore group,,,probably at Grant Pridecco....biggest bunch of ass kissers I know.
150796 -ass kissing brown noser
150796, you described what kind of people work at NOV..."You gotta look out for you" and "my company" 1st of all, it's not your company. Wake up & stop living in denial. 2nd, managers only look out for themselves and dont give a rats ass about anyone else including the company. All they care about is themselves and all they can get out of those they control and the company. Again, self entitled covert psychotic narcissists.
You're right, you can't control what people do or say. However, NOV CEO's and VP's can and should put a stop the vicious cycle of bad management and quit allowing these covert narcissistic psychopath managers to abuse and demoralize NOV employees all because these immoral managers are controlled by fear so they feel they need to take matters into their own hands and control, deceive, mislead, manipulate and abuse in order to keep their "manager" job. This has been mentioned many times in this public forum. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see there's a major underlying issue with this company. Here's the solution: Stop allowing nepotism - family members and friends into these management job positions who are unqualified. Stop the "its not what you know but who you know" nonsense. Bring in qualified competent experienced professionals who are mentally & emotionally stable.
Don't read it then and go away
