Thread regarding Baker Hughes Inc. layoffs

Regarding layoffs.

For those short timers. My spouse was with blue for 32 years and an offshore service supervisor for 20 . He and his counterpart with same years of service got the axe a week ago. They both started from the ground up an have acquired vast experience, education and skills over those years. He has been sick 2 days on all those years. He didnt get a sorry or a thank you. Just a packet of papers to sign. So baker thanks to shoving a knife in his back but on the otherhand thank you for allowing to send our two kids to college and for him to save almost a million in his 401k. Now he can play golf every day of the week if he wants and wont ever have to stay awake for two days or more again when its freezing and wet outside. Good luck with the new generation that will foliow because they wont know their a**hole from a hole in the ground. You really screwed yourselves over. Oh ps. He just got two consulting offers. Naaah. He'll play golf.

Hi my name is Jerry Springer and I need a woman on my show. By your comments you would be the perfect guest. Please bring along pictures of your toothless family and include lazy dog pictures with your mobile home in the background. Also America would live to see pics of your new truck with an Oilfield Trash sticker in the back window.

She's started a new post (its not personal its just business) then replies to her own post praising it She's completely bananas its funny shit. I came on this site to find out what's going on with the layoffs now hooked on following her its better than watching the shit on TV. She should take up fictional script writing.

I have been watching and warned you about what crap you would open yourself to because of the number of moronic comments you might get. I have to give to you woman, you as relentless here as you are in person but a lovely lady in spirit and heart. He's a lucky guy because you've always had K's back. The backlash you received comes from anger and jealousy but a few understood your original post which is doesnt matter who you know or what you know anyone can get their ass kicked out of this business. You've got an edge a lot of folks dont have and I think you rubbed a few guys. I bet their wives suffer at times because they dont have the tenacity you do

You're a tough lady and a good woman though pig headed and stubborn. Perhaps that is one reason you came out ok. Like K said ignore the asswipes. Be cool. Stay tough See you at xmasd. DALE

No one cares how much is in his 401k or his years of service, his awards, properties, records, etc. Brag as much as you want, but at the end of the day, he got cut because he was dead weight to the organization. Truth be told, there are 40,000+ people left at BH that have more potential and bring more value than your husband. Let that sink in, and maybe you might realize how funny and insecure your posts seem to everyone else.

You have to be a dumb kid and you dont read half of what was written. Keep up the shrink appts. For me its been a lot of fun rattling your cage. However, and this is for you, my paid two week vacation ends today and I have to get back to work. Dale and Robert catch at the house xmas eve. John,say hi to Millie and will be in touch soon. Happy holidays and best wishes to good folk at BH

I was right you never shut up just like a nagging cow and going by your latest replies you need serious therapy! Bet your husbands off to the golf club today think I might join him. Hopefully you have studied the history of US Oil it should have proved good reading or did the pictures prove an easy option? You will see it did not start in 1983? I will put a close on my posts by saying your husband is a real hero and history maker and deserves his medal sitting behind a desk inputting data whilst dodgy bullets and grenades an IEDs could not have been easy.

Really at the end of the day you are right..no one cares. Just like the thousands of posts. No one cares and yea....you keep reading and reading so what does that say about you? Like I care. At this point I am just having fun. And the handful of guys that do personally know who I am are having a good time reading these posts too. They are having a fun time too and cant believe the amount of views. So those that do know me , glad I made you laugh as you know how I do enjoy the game.

Check offshore deepsea directional drilling in some articles and publications off the coast of califormia before the change to baker hughes

I can also state a date oil was discovered in over 6 states and over 6 countries and provinces

I am done because you yahoos who either like to call women names because of your lack of upbringing or those of you that cant imagine that a woman has some knowedge of the oil and service industry are to ignorant realize some spouses take an interest in what their husbands do/did for a living. So call me a cow which is fine or think I am bs which is fine too

frankly I dont care. I know there are super bh folks out there and you are just a couple of numbnuts

Yea he set some records in directional drilling with some other bj folk i could prove it. But dont have too. And I know more about the bus then you think so im very aware of the historical background and much more so dont think you ate saying anything new. And a lot of records prior and after have been set .Again someone that doesnt read

And you, with the shrink. Figures you would need one. Typical you dont read before u post. By the way, as I have mentioned in older posts some time ago you all do realize that the ip adresses for posting all can be traced for specific and varied reasons so if you want someone to know you are seeing a shrink perhaps not the best place.

I will continue to work so my husband can enjoy his time off and be covered under my medical. My poor husband yes as so many that got layed off deserve so much. I am fortunate but we both made many sacrafices and scrimped and saved for almost 33 years. He drives a 14 year old truck and he never asks for anything. So yes he doesnt need a new truck but I want him to have it because I want to. Because I can. Yeah I am a cow I suppose but one who has lived through it all and has a great respect for all those folks at bh that are now having to struggle. Unfortunately you have no respect for all those who have come before you who have lost fingers and limbs or worse or whose family fell apart due to the erratic life style. So dont tell me I dont know because i know more than you ever will.

My recent posts are specific. I know what bleak is and ate potatoes for a week when my kids were little and we didnt have enough money except for them. We went through hard times when he got layed off 31 years ago for quite a while. We didnt have money for cell phones if they could have existed or or pcs that did. So dont give me crap about bleak times or the fact you can sit and keep posting and posting because youfeel sorry for youself yet you can afford a nice toy to post on. Again grow up and grow a pair because even if I am a cow you arent even a man.

Oh sure he will be forgotten but its people like him that make and break records . He isnt the first nor the last. But he like others have made history. And you? Right. You wouldnt have jack if it wasnt for the old timers. So you think all the new and unexpericed crews are going to make history? Just like some the new petro engineers out of college who screw up and have made costly mistakes because they know everything? Ps. My husband knows im posting and has read everything and thinks I am wasting my time and in his words he said"ignore the little asswipe". My recommendation to you is get off you butt and work 2 or 3 jobs and get an education. You are an embarrassment to all the hard working men and women of baker h

Not many of us can look for a new truck with things looking bleak but thanks for mentioning it? Seem you do all the talking for your long suffering husband he's probably a good guy who would be embarrassed to hear your looking for him to be awarded a Medal in appreciation for his dedication to BH so in that sense your posts are about you. Nobody else in looking for appreciation or Medals from BH we all understand they need a service we carry out the service and take their money simple as that. 2 years or 32 years service means nothing to BH or any service company if your surplus they let you go. His work buddy's might miss him but life goes on the rigs don't go down because an old timer leaves in fact the opposite happens they usually increase production young keen crews with new ideas and a work rate to match means your good old husband will soon be forgotten.

Sorry for the delay but I was surfing the web looking for a good deal on a new truck for my husband while he is at the golf course. My original post wasnt about me. But since you mentioned it I have been working since I was 18 full time and had nothing because I put myself through school. I met myhusband 6 years later and he have a job until he got in at bj and was a a grunt. He worked and traveled where ever the work was and I never knew when he might be home if. He is what you call a lowly oul worker so dont give me that shit. He is a tough rough and hard worker. So dont shed that pity shit on me. Normally I dont lower myself and engage in this sort of banter though I often support and post on this board. And your info im a real estate broker and socislize with my family because I dont have time for anything else. So dont give me crap about filthy coverals and oilstained boots and dont think others havent been on the bottom and clawed their way up to be in an ok situation because you dont know crap. Been there and done it sll before you were ou of diapers you sissy pants coward.

So that's the point you were trying to get across because you have it all the money the properties you are somehow on a different step on the social ladder from the average Oil worker? Can tell by your replies you sound very uneducated probably came from a poor family which causes you some embarrassment more so with your social standing false friends in a word your mutton dressed as lamb oh and your still a nagging cow.

My post wasnt meant to slight anyone but more to state in these uncertain times it doesnt matter how much experience one might have and the skills and knowledge you might have acquired it seems

Its still wrong how baker has handled the situation.The other portion was to slap baker in the face for how it treats its people but we lucked out . Im probably old enough to be your mom so by calling me a cow you not only insulted your own motherbut most likely brought up in a barn. My husband busted his butt for those years and made some smart financial decisions. Ps you lowlife ill sweeten the pot and add the fact we have several properties too. If you werent such a moron to begin with youwould have figuref out what my original post was about, you coward.

Maybe im a nagging cow. But seems to meyou are a jealous weiner who never grew a pair. Yea. I think he deserves a medal and thousands more who worked their butts off for baker. I can only imagine you are some young punk that has A major chip on your shoulder or works for red who has no respect for the industry or the people working in it. You wouldnt have the guts to face me. So get off your sorry ass and grow up. The rest of the hard working baker folk I do wish you the best and hope everything works out for you

Actually I might ask him if he might want to. Hes been mentioned in a number of articles inregards to directional drilling and record breaking info and has quite a background. Maybe if he gets bored playing golf later on.
