For those who have survived all 6 rounds of layoff so far, congratulation to you. However, the worst is still ahead as Halliburton will try to squeeze our $2 billion in cost saving after they successfully merge with Baker. So how to survive next year? Move up the ladder into management,or switch to sales or jump ship to other company before the axe. Build skills that are more valuable to Hallibaker, and take positions that can’t be filled by newly recruits. Happy Thanksgiving and good luck in 2016!

@EDTACl0-1LwA - if I am in Safety, and not generating revenue, I am out? Or, finance? Or procurement?
Seriously if a rig shuts down off shore now you have to be recertified fo onshore if you are a supervisor and if there is nothing onshore and you are pushing retiremrnt age then you are getting the axe
Well .... the logic is, if you are generating revenue for the company .. you stay .. else ..they line you up for exit (regardless of, weather you are management or a field employee).
Be as close to where the company makes money, ie. working on the rig to generate revenue rather than at the desk printing copies. Be an expert in your field. Marketing yourself as a to-go person in your district. Halliburton won't cut these capital assets.
I know some peeps trying to avoid layoffs by relocating their home office around BHI locations around Houston..spend few months in one office, then few months in other office..sneaky ... but working so far
The take over won't happen Halliburton is going tits up by by suckers
