Thread regarding Weatherford International Ltd. layoffs

Houma Mfg. to close March 1 2019

Got the word from Woodward today after GM was fired. All work to be moved between China and Huntsville. What a waste of a profitable shop. Product lines and equipment will be moving soon and employees will be sent packing total F---in shame.

Unbelievable. I am at a loss for words.

Probably the most profitable mfg location on the planet and the geniouses in Houston shut it down.

Transfer to where? They sold it, its gone, no more cementing business....pack up and move on already. WFT doesn't care about the equipment anymore, they sold it. Don't worry about what China does with it, find yourself a new job.
