Bunch of fracking amaturs yu lot
Who is youse to call us shortly? Nae one of us is less than one and a half meters.
Stoneywood managers kicked cos they do bad job - lose plenty work and bad decision and big mess every day. Thats why they put Norway manager in charge in stoneywood.
Here in Congo we have ex Aberdeen management team too. Very good and generous people and top managers but they drink too much and fight at weekends among themselves
Company make a lot of money with these guys so nobody care
Aberdeen boys kicked out of Congo cuz useless 😂😂
I thought they were all headhunted for high flying jobs in Dubai?
Those Aberdeen boys shining in Texas are from the Stoneywood office buddy
Aberdeen boys workin in Texas aint the issue. Issue is stoneywood managers kicked out of ther office cuz they didnt knowe what there doing and replaced by Norwegians.
Stoneywood guys hav first hand knowlege yer ken about the fracking idiots who’ve bin running that dumb office for last ten year. Lost work and cover ups all over.
The stoneywood guys tell me the local managers are uneducated and immature. That why they got kicked out. That what there saying.
Yeah those Stoneywood managers are real good leaders. Full of grit and spunk
We respect this in our people here in Midland
Don’t know about Aberdeen but they sure do a fine job for us here in Midland Texas
If you have any more in Stoneywood send em across to us here in the states. They are real leaders and team builders and make us a lot of money
Stoneywood is a disaster that’s why they got rid of the managers and brought in Norwegians to run that mess.
Aberdeen managers biggest bunch of useless nothin nobodys lost hundreds of wells with bad management poor decisions joke planning. Absolute shambles in office every day specialy that stoneywood.
whats the story in Aberdeen then. Heard the local managers in stoneywood fxxxxx up big time lost contracts, lost market share and revenue so they got kicked out and replaced by Norwegian manager?
No surprise there. Just one big mess that place with people who don’t know the oil business.
So true - for a small city it’s people have had a huge impact globally
Aye top boys in Aberdeen. Proof is in the pudding and wherever you go in the oilfield internationally you will find lads from Aberdeen in high managerial positions. I myself was a high level manager for 20 years and grew up and learned my trade in Aberdeen
Was talking to a headhunter this week and he tells me ex Baker managers from U.K. are in high demand overseas and are picking up high profile all expenses paid expat roles in UAE with free flights for all the family twice a year.
Apparently the Emirates recognize the strong management culture in Baker and its highly regarded
Told me the reason the Norwegians are now being used in U.K. is simply because they can’t compete with the salaries being offered to the Scots guys in Dubai
They are still hiring so keep your eyes in the job boards
RIP Neale Cooper
An Aberdeen legend and ex Baker apprentice
I just got laid off by Schlumberger two weeks ago and it’s still brutal out there
15 years service and no longer needed even though the oil price is high again
Aye me and the wife tried to get into a top restaurant on union street at the weekend and it was fully booked with people waiting outside to get in
Haven’t seen that for a while
House prices and rents are expected to skyrocket with the return of oil workers to the granite city. Time to invest and buy land to build for the future
I bought 10 acres out on Deeside for a knockdown prices and am building a luxury mobile home park for people to rent. Got the land at a knockdown prices and you can get high quality mobile homes from China at great prices
Good to see some positive vibes coming back to this site.
Good luck to all
Does anybody have any good contacts in Baker to talk with regarding the current opportunities they have? I hear GE is going to invest in an expansion strategy which is great news
I am a mud engineer with 25 years experience so who should I talk with ?
Thanks
Thinking about starting a recruitment agency in the city and take advantage of the upsurge in demand for people. Always dreamed of being my own boss and this looks like a great chance
Working offshore now in Aberdeen for first time in 3 years
New 2 year contract and money is good
Welcome back to the good ol days
Wi us expecting a lot more hiring I hope we dinnae hire ootsiders but if we haef tae, they should alls ken oor rich history, like when we ahmost won the wurreld cup in 1978
Yep that’s me just picked up a rotational position in Angola with a an Aberdeen based service company after more than a year sitting on my backside
Good luck for everybody else
Aye, the economy’s so hot here word is most prospects won’t even attend the interview unless they promised minimum of ten weeks vacation and a free bus pass.
Had 3 job offers this month already and one from Baker which is the more attractive offer as they pay the higher salary and the pension is very good. Gave me until Monday to decide
Great to be going back to work again
