Halliburton laying off another 650 folks
The place I work for had another round of layoffs last week with probably one more before the year is through
Couple of my buddies have been let go from their positions, engineering guys and motor techs
At work we are preparing for the worst and basing a 2020 budget off a 750 rig count... not an exciting time to be in the motor industry, especially in my role as a Sales Rep
The late summer bump I experienced is over. Work drying up quick. I dont expect it to get any better any time soon.

Better prepare yourself if you work for a major service company. The never ending expectation of growth from shareholders is leading to knee jerk reactions. All the major service companies are bleeding to death, mainly due to top heavy employee structures. Expect to see layoffs from all of them in the next few months.

We're hanging in there with a small uptic in deep water exploration in the G.O.M. But it is very sluggish. Very few long term contracts being signed. And the the market is extremely competitive with some of the lowest day rates I have ever seen. I don't think we will ever see the boon days of 8 years ago.

We lost 45+ employees last week due to a voluntary layoff. Lots of folks opting to retire early or go somewhere else. All of them was given some type of package based on years of service. Third layoff this year and hopefully last one till it picks back up. I was talking to one of our salesman last week who had been in Oklahoma all week and he wasn`t very optimistic. He said maybe the 2nd quarter of 2020 but who really knows.
