Hey everyone, just saw the news about the 174 layoffs at BHGE on July 9th. It looks like it's hitting the northwest Houston folks pretty hard. This is rough. I've been with the company for a few years and things felt pretty stable until recently. Now, with this latest wave, I'm definitely feeling uneasy. Wondering what the overall sentiment is out there for current employees. Are people updating their resumes? Is anyone seeing any signs of improvement or is this just the new normal for the energy services sector right now? Trying to get a pulse on how widespread this feels. If you were affected or know someone who was, no need to share specifics, but just gauging the general vibe. Hoping for some insight from others navigating this. Stay strong, everyone.

This is really tough news. I'm not directly affected by this round, but it's hard not to feel the anxiety ripple through the company. Seeing colleagues let go is never easy, and it makes you wonder about job security, even if you're currently in a stable position. Hoping for some clarity on what this means for the future and wishing the best to those who are leaving.

Yeah, the layoffs are definitely a major topic of conversation. It's a stark reminder of how volatile the industry can be. While I understand these decisions are often business-driven, it's still disheartening to see so many talented people out of work. I'm trying to stay focused on my own work, but it's hard to ignore the uncertainty. Hopefully, the company will provide more transparency soon.
