Thread regarding National Oilwell Varco Inc. layoffs

Screwed over

It was told to supervisors thurs. that Pampa workers may have to go to a 32 hour week! I bet the people in the brick office will still get their 40 hours. They'll have one group start on Monday, and another start on Tuesday so they can get 40 hours. We'll see, but the brick won't take a pay cut. Only the scummy, low life workers will.

Wow, stop blaming the plant managers. Whoever they are or however bad or good they may have been is irrelevant. The fact is that your plant is not in Mexico, India or China and without a market to sell a rig to coupled with the fact that your rig is double the price of those made in other low-labor countries means the plant needs to close. Your managers may be terrible but they didn't cause the global economic and market conditions that makes you and your facility obsolete.

After reading these posts I've come to the conclusion that your plant deserves to get shut down.

Go crying, why not adress the problems. Then you'd have to look in the mirror. Just keep telling yourself your not the problem, even though deep down you know you are. The 4 stooges!

The thing you brick people can't handle is the truth. You speak the truth at work your gone. It's hard to hear your not respected, but it's the truth. Instead of crying about what is being said man up, & quit crying! It's probably the 4 stooges that are crying, Logan, Marquez,Nelson,& LaRue. Your all jokes.

Hate to break it to all of you but nobody gives a $hit about Pampa. It's a spec on NOV's huge ass Get over it Pampa there is no priority with you. Cirone was the only one worth anything there and now he's gone so be grateful you have a job and STFU. Tired of seeing all this Pampa whining.

Hate to say it but most everything here is correct. Nobody understands what we go through to make a good part. Previous management came in and threw away all of our fixtures in fab and Ms. What the hell were they thinking? Now we have to deal with our incompetent management. Not going to mention any names but we all know who they are. We lost all of the good Supervisors over the years who respected us and now look at what we have. It really sucks to work here now. It's a job though.

Can't we all just get along? Hell no, when you have one part of the plant, the production, & the brick. Kellerman is trying, he's just surrounded by incompetent suck asses. He picked them, & no matter what they do he stands behind them. He needs to, but won't , realize he's surrounded himself with some of the most incompetent people you could surround yourself with. Kellerman thinks Nelson is swamped, he swamps other people with his incessant talking, and never says sh--. Marquez, Logan , incompetent boobs. The brick is one big incestuos cluster f---. It has been for a long time but it's worse now. It's bad now but it's going to get worse. It's bad when you can't respect the supervisors, & people in charge. They have to earn respect, not just say respect me or else. Even the dumb asses in charge should realize there is something wrong up front. Production is far from perfect, but it takes it's lead from the top!

Those choices you picked have led you to where you are right now. Don't be such a wanker. Suck it up. Tough it out. I'll drink one for you too. See ya Monday I'll bring the donuts. I'll have coffee ready when you punch in. We can work it out.

The problem with you is you don't want to know how a lot of people feel. People can say the truth here, you may not like it but it's how they feel. You can bury your head in the sand, or you can take the totality of what was said, & listen to the anger& frustration. It's real & something needs to be done to improve moral. You can't please everyone but now your not pleasing anyone on the floor. If there is pain for workers, it should be shared. We all know what goes on in the brick. You can't build rigs without us, & we can't build rigs without you. Now it's us against them, that not good for N.O.V. Which means it's not good for anyone, something has to change!

I guess I led a sheltered life. I had no idea such idiots existed much less in one spot. Must run rampid all over the plant because no corner is without their own and sometimes more than one! Kinda reminds me of cockroaches. Doesn't matter if it is the shops or brick or where. I hope the nastiest ones and most negative ones that post here get laid off and maybe others won't feed off your crudeness. You are showing your behind to the world. Would you do it in front of your Momma? She would rip you a good one and hang her head in shame.

All of you in the office that read this have probably realized, since you are such great THINKERS. That there is a huge disconnect between us and you. You treat us like dogs, the shops stink, you are arrogant pricks. Something breaks in the brick it gets fixed, no matter what the cost. The workers basically f--- off you are scum. That's the way the vast majority feel, & rightly so. So you THINKERS think about why moral is so bad, maybe just maybe you THINKERS are a lot of the problem. I'm just saying! Oh wait I'm just scum!

Hell yeah, those loafer wearing, pencil pushing pricks don't think we have brains. Try the 105 degree heat, the 20 degree cold. Then you have to figure out how to make these genius,s drawings work. F--- all of you pricks & bitches both male & female. We don't think, yes we do. What we dont have is any respect for most of you. Some we do, those who actually try to help we respect. People like Logan, Marquez,Nelson,LaRue nobody respects you. You are all the butt of jokes so stay in your offices, telling yourself how important you are, and stay the f--- out of our areas. You dont help, all you do is piss everyone off. All of you sucked on the floor, now you suck at your new job. So shut up, you especially Nelson leave us the f--- alone!

If they put me on 32 hrs. That means one program a month. But it is perfect you don't need to even be there to run it. Go walk away from your machine like you usually do nor watch sheep porn on your phone. Pretty soon you'll be obsolete. All we need is a decent setup guy. Then I can program from home. Watch the game then go see your mum. She makes good doughnuts too. Everybody knows I'm a genius. So if you see me walk by please bow down you low life scum

Salaried people won't get hit we are the reason this plant is here. It's easy to find welders, machinist, & assemblers. It's hard to find someone that can type, think & tell all of you morons how to do your job. We'll be fine, all of you blue collar idiots your screwed. I'll sit in my office watch porn & stare at my picture of Juanita & you know the rest. I'm going to do that right now. Cum see me in 3 minutes losers!
