Have you noticed this big management push for a "Culture of Quality"? Let's embrace it!!! Baker employees have long produced quality products and services, so that part's covered. Now, let's talk about quality staffing plans, quality management levels, quality severance packages, and quality pay. Many of our states are "right to work", so this isn't about forming a union, but we're just talking about culture. Do what management says - form your own Culture of Quality at your own office. Does laying off anybody else prevent your group from doing a Quality job? If so, STOP work just like it was a safety issue. Does a certain manager pressure you for time such that it's impossible to do a Quality job? STOP work until that problem is gone! Do you need a specialist back to do a Quality job? STOP work until he's back. Be culturally united, STOP work together. And if you can't STOP, take the time you need, all the time you need, to do a Quality job. Engage your coworkers, talk to them about forming your own Culture of Quality. Also, let's bring this Culture of Quality to our brothers at Halliburton, and on through the merger!

Culture of Quality is a joke. Rankin laid off, fired, or drove out all the quality professionals. The experts told management what needed to happen and were ignored. Now those people are gone and the products are crap.
OP,... think you misspelled the title of your post. You probably meant to say, "Qulture of Cuality". Am I right?
I hate to say this but Baker Hughes does not mean quality . I see their equipment and their people in the field and most of them are good folks but they are so green that they know little about what they are doing . I would recommend Halliburton keeping the most experienced people and listening to them because this new group with Baker Hughes has really hurt my image of this fine company. A Baker boss told me all of the companies are the same , they aren't . Baker is waiting for a bad accident to happen god forbid. I wish Baker had never purchased BJ Services . Their folks always knew what they were doing.
Current culture is slam your product out the door as fast as possible. Who cares if it actually works or not. We need to show it as launched before the merger closes and so the VP can claim "record NPI" see what I can do! I'm the bestest VP there ever was! Our sh!t don't work worth a darn but at least the product portfolio looks good on paper!
I posted this and I regret it. It's a stupid idea good for nobody. I'm just mad and wish I had my job back. I do dumb things when I'm mad, sorry.
So now management resorts to tr his mockery of bullshit.
Baker Hughes is dead!
There are very few people left working.
Basically just best buddies.
Of the Bud.
So go f*** yourself!
Too many MBAs and ex-SLB losers which know not much about how REAL business going...,....
Once I made one VP not happy because I told her you have to know the business to run the business..
She never contact me again, and today she is still a VP. Hope HAL can keep her
