Thread regarding Weatherford International Ltd. layoffs

Furlough

I was looking in my refrigerator after work tonite and got to thinking is management worried about if they have enough food, no I do not think so, and then all I could think of is ," this is what they came up with Furlough to the people that have stayed so far,and now the big test is coming for the ones that stay". We know now for the 2nd year in a row no pay increase and they will continue to take from those who stay. The plant I work at has almost more management than hourly labor workers, and the sad thing is the management could not even run the equipment that makes weatherford the money! And their management is loosing less than the workers. Furlough is just a new way of screwing the workers to fatten their bottom line of bonuses. A recap of what they have done to the workers, first take away our sick pay bonus, then trap our vacation so we could not accrue any more time, and lastly cancel any vacation at the end of this year and now we have to borrow vacation from weatherford.

So the people that can afford to stay, well they are now look at you as a mindless sheep and they will continue. I say f--- you mr president and your cronies and I hope you eventually end up in jail!

I know so many people who have left Weatherford by being asked to do far to much in addition to their original role. I'm sure most of us didn't mind having to help out and pitch in when required. Trouble is that they never looked for people to fill the gaps and eventually your extra input became the norm, after a while they asked to take on more work and so the cycle begins again. The management are so short sighted that they can't see that the wage they are paying isn't above the average wage at the moment and there are plenty of other prospects out there paying just as much but without the hassle. The people that leave the oilfield nowadays are reticent to go back once they settle into a new lifestyle !!!! Weatherford will eventually suffer where it will be critical for them to have the people to do the work and guess what ?? They won't be there !!!!

What gets me is they take and take from the workers who do the work all the while adding more and more to your plate because 3/4 of the work force is gone and wonder why your upset. What pisses me off is I was out and moved on but let my heart bring me back to WFT. Well not after this. With all of the ot gone and now this time to move on. Great job WFT. Today you truly lost one very dedicated worker who always gave 200% and loved every minute of it.
