Dumping our drilling fluids product line is a no brainier. Long history of poor management, lack of vision and the stepchild of the company. The employees are capable and well trained but lack support. This would be a win-win for BHI and the employees. Ditto for our wireline group. Great technology and personnel but just another stepchild. Let 'em go!
One other suggestion; take any severance packages from our corporate "leaders" and use to retain what good personnel we have left. There is only one place you need look to for the failure at BHI, and that is it's leadership (rather, the lack of) which in my earnest opinion is the director level and up.
