Good morning my fellow forumers,

Just wanna share one story with you guys. My sister recently went for a trial of under probation for 3 months (ends 16th March 2015) with Baker Labuan (doing Coil Tubing) before they officially gonna offer her placement as FE1 there.

Unfortunately, the HR called her on last Thursday(5/3/2015) saying that she need to attend a tele-conference with her Manager and the HR on that day. Long story short, they said they're terminating her with immediate effect on Friday (6/3/2015) due to the reason of "ekonomi gawat". They already arranging her flight back to KL (board on Fri evening)

Maybe there are terms stated on the offer letter regarding the termination effect immediately w/o any short notice. What bothers me, is it normal for the other O&G company out there? Any HR-related forum members that can enlighten me on this issue. Well to me its kinda unfair to terminate someone today and send them back tomorrow.

They did compensate her for that, but they should at least give 3 days notice before sending her back home. Its like "habis madu sepah dibuang lah"

I don't have any problem with the way the company doing their job, its just I feel that there is room for improvement on how they conducting the process, as we all aware O&G company no longer may guaranteed stable career for the coming days ahead.

P/S : If there's any opening, please feel free to share with me, I'll be glad to assist her building back her career path. She's PE graduates, had her pre-intern at Talisman and her intern with Baker Labuan

Thank you in advance,

Cheers

Welcome to O&G life bro...thats normal even though not practiced by all companies. Moreover your sis still under probation. My friend was laid off during his time off and just over the phone. His friend was called in to the office in the morning and his boss said " i don't expect to see you after lunch"...

Remember me a song ..."waktu orang suka semuanya indah, waktu dah tak suka oh ada-ada saja"....not related though..

Anyway, good luck to your sis.

This is normal in O&G downturn. You wanna fight them and bring them to labor court? Their legal counsel are powderful broooooo

Kekejaman adalah lumrah dalam industry ini. Kawan aku dulu masa 2007 downturn kena layoff by one single phone call from his Norway based company. Kawan aku masa tu baru balik dari rig on his way balik darat using fast crew boat.

There are no such things as rainbow in this industry.

no lah, its not like wanna fight them in court. just needed piece of advice from you seniors here smile.gif
such cruel world we live in yeah. It shall be her valuable experience then, I'm sure there's lot more liku-liku waiting aheads. Thanks for your advice bro smile.gif

Yeahh...normal tu. Not only happen in O&G.

When the time they need you, semuanya bagus, puji bagus, you're the best!
But when the time they don't need you, bye2 just like that..

This is reality in our life. That's why sometime office politic is important.

I agree with you bro, most of the top management based there are new staff. Anyway, past is past. Life got to move on. Gotta be extra prepared for the coming days icon_rolleyes.gif

I'm now studying Master in Electronics, graduating Sept this year. I'm interested in  joining O&G industry. I was thinking to apply for Baker Hughes previously because I was working there part time for three months in payroll department. However, with the amount of people they are rifting, I don't think there will be a chance. I would like to know what are the chances of getting a job in O&G without experience.

Recently my sister got terminated from Baker, I heard theyre downsizing the team. But yeah no harm trying though smile.gif

Rezeki ada dimana-mana. Belum cuba belum tau. Just sharing with you, good luck bro nod.gif

Sikit-sikit nak kerja offshore. Kenapa everything good money mesti kerja offshore sahaja? Oil downturn sekarang banyak gila orang kerja offshore kena laid-off. Aku pun kena switch main project downstream sahaja sekarang sementara menunggu harga minyak kembali stabil. These day you have to be versatile and you must fit-in both Upstream & Downstream field.

Boleh tak anyone who read this tolong pergi baca previous V1 until V6 O&G Career thread? Mohon rajin abang2 sekalian. Benda ini telah dibincang banyak kali. Jangan manja sangat abang-abang. Membaca itu satu cabang ilmu.
