Thread regarding Halliburton Co. layoffs

Take one of your young managers to a turret lathe, tell him to take a .250ths depth of cut at 75fpm at 500 rpms and see what they do. THEY DON'T HAVE A FRIGGING CLUE YOU MORONS.....35 YR LAID OFF HAL VETERAN........

4tix,

Agree 100%.

Hillary said we need to help pay down the outstanding college debt. the kids done put themselves in debt at day one. so, they tell the older folks they are old school, push them out, take their jobs then hold out their hand and ask for help paying down their debt. ?? spoiled huh?

Not all people are cut out for college. There are millions that can't afford it. Those that don't want a loan. Or be strapped with a high dollar debt before they begin work.

The country needs and always have, workers. We can't do anything without these workers.

We have always had knowledgable field supervisors and GM's that came from all areas of the field.

We hav always had managers back in the office the understood and knew how the field operated and the relied and worked closely with the field supervisors and GM's.

About 20 years ago, the management began to change.

Today, these young college kids, with a title "manager", fresh out of college strapped with a college debt to pay back their tuition, although educated, but very stupid and ignorant, arrogant.

Halliburton, right now has more of these types of managers and office people than they do workers.

We keep laying off the expierenced workers and managers.

We will fail and fall hard, layoffs are not done yet, this is not over by a long shot.

We have way too much money going out and nothing coming in.

This is not sustainable.

Before you young punk college brat responds back to this thread, you should let this sink in.

Because if you think that you won't be laid off, you better guess again youngster.

If you do not become a manager, you will at some point be eliminated, let go, laid off, fired, severed or whatever and replaced with a college kid, hindu, indian or chinese immigrant, cuban immigrant as relations warm up who will work for less than you or many of your coworkers. You must work yourself into a position as a manager or a position with another bullshit type of title such as supervisor, global something, fellow, mr.goodbar or whatever. Basically, get the manager title so you are good to go. If not you will be gone, 's only a mata'-o-time.

So quite crying and step up. If you don't then they have no choice but to hire a college kid.

Not everyone wants to be a manager. BUT, we do want managers that know how to manage and have some experience to draw on. College and knowing how to use a computer don't really count.

Sounds like your too old,bitter and stubborn to be considered for a manager job.

Uh, it's already happening. Managed by accountants and college kids who know Powerpoint and Excel and not much else.

it's those young kids that want to drive a prius and yet work in the oil business.

AGREED! But the managers wouldn't know how to run ANY company, let alone oilfield service one. They are too young and don't have enough experience.
