At the end of the day, they probably did a favor to most they let go by freeing our conscious and allowing us to work with the companies who are in a position to continue their business plans without worrying about the losers on Wall Street who know nothing about the oil business.

Let the losers like SLB and Halliburton wallow in their own pride, arrogance, and stupidity while us winners move on and not even look in the rear view mirror unless to flash a middle finger their way.
