Hi Nik,

Well Nik, sad to hear that, but SLB is not the only good company out there. Don't feel bad about it ok.. Even if you passed the whole interview process, the real "interview" only starts the first day at work..

From what I heard Talisman is a good company, but I can't say anything more than that as I don't really know..sorry.

I would have been working for SLB for more than 2 years now but I already left more than a year ago. Still with oil n gas company tho..
I'm just a dirty mechanic 

Guys,

for your info there' a clause in SLB employee manual : 'Termination "without cause"...=they can terminate you if they don't like you/ financial crisis/ down sizing

And, its without any mercy. Once you join SLB..dare to face this kind of risk.

it's very bad actually....in this situation he's kind of 'lost' and broke...just received 130K?...only quarter of the annual salary
