MANCHESTER, NH—Representative Liz Cheney from Wyoming slammed former President Donald Trump during a Tuesday speech in New Hampshire for “war crimes” and “crimes against humanity.” The
anti-Trump congresswoman delivered an address at St. Anselm College. “We’ve never confronted a domestic threat like this in our country ever before,” said Cheney who apparently has never heard of Joe Biden or has ever read a book or newspaper in her life. “A former president is unraveling the foundations of our Constitutional Republic.” “It sickens me that the Republican Party can support a man who lied about weapons of mass destruction for years....

Debating a Leftist is like trying to have a conversation with a Magic 8 Ball toy. You
try to discuss a topic and then you wait for them to shake the black sphere, turn it over and have them read whatever phrase emerges from the glass. It is canned speech. It's like a caveman grunting 'Fire, hot!' They only say enough words that can fit onto a cardboard protest sign using a Magic Marker. Whenever the Left's opposition party is in power, they foment these convenient piecemeal fabrications of cobbled script and drop them like turds at a dog park...

Halliburton to slash 5,000 more jobs amid oil slump
|
| |
Yahoo Finance ^
(Reuters) - Oilfield services provider Halliburton Co (HAL.N), pressured by a prolonged slump in crude oil prices, will further slash its workforce by about 8 percent, or by 5,000 jobs, company spokeswoman Emily Mir told Reuters on Thursday. The more than 70 percent fall in global crude prices since mid-2014 has led
to a series of job cuts and additional cost-cutting efforts from several companies including the world's largest oilfield services provider, Schlumberger Ltd (SLB.N).

Oil field services giant Halliburton shed another 4,000 jobs in the final three months of 2015, as the Houston-based company continued to aggressively cut costs amid the worst oil crash in decades. With
the latest job cuts, Halliburton has reduced its global workforce by 25 percent, a total of about 22,000 employees since its peak in 2014. And more cuts could be on the way if a recovery in crude prices stalls, company executives said Monday morning. "2016 is shaping up to be one tough slog through the mud and the industry is going to have to take it a...

| October 19, 2015 | Rhiannon Meyers
Halliburton chopped another 4,000 jobs worldwide during the third quarter as oil companies continue to idle rigs and throttle activity, and will consider further reductions if business doesn’t improve, the Houston-based oil field services company said Monday. The reductions brings the total number of job losses across the company to 18,000, or
21 percent of Halliburton’s global workforce. “These are always tough decisions affecting great people, but they are simply decisions we have to make,” President Jeff Miller said. Included in that reduction, Halliburton slashed an entire level of management connected to a service line, but provided no additional details...

Halliburton plans more layoffs, now targeting management

| September 23, 2015 | Rhiannon Meyers
Oil field services giant Halliburton is planning more cuts to its workforce, including management positions in North America where the crude slump has been particularly brutal, on top of thousands of layoffs already announced this year. In
an internal memo from the company that was posted on the website of an Austin-based consultant, Halliburton laid out a plan to “flatten” its North American business by eliminating multiple layers of management — a decision that will undoubtedly affect Houston-area employees where the company is headquartered. Halliburton also said it will pursue additional cuts to its headcount as oil patch activity continues...

Halliburton has cut nearly 14,000 jobs and Baker Hughes has laid off 13,000 employees since they began trimming their headcounts last year to cope with the oil-market crash, officials said Monday. Those figures, shown in quarterly securities filings Friday and confirmed by company spokeswomen on Monday, are several thousand more jobs than
the last time the oil field service companies gave an estimate of their planned layoffs in April. Halliburton’s latest layoff estimate exceeds its April figure by 5,000 jobs, bringing its cuts up to16 percent of its workforce. And Baker Hughes’ estimate is up by 2,500 jobs, up to...

Halliburton Announces 9,000 Layoffs

| 04/21/2015 | By Dianna Wray
In a move that once again isn't exactly shocking, Halliburton Co. has been engaging in much more serious layoffs than they initially planned on back in February. Back in the early part of the year -- when energy analysts were confidently predicting oil prices would rebound in no time at all --
Halliburton still battened down the hatches, announcing plans for about 6,500 layoffs. Since then the analysts have for the most part gotten increasingly dour with their predictions, oil prices have stayed around $50 a barrel and Halliburton has actually laid off about 10 percent of its workforce in...

Following Schlumberger's 9,000 lay-offs announced last week and Baker Hughes' 7,000 earlier this morning, Halliburton said today that it will execute workforce reductions similar to its peers during the first quarter. Halliburton
COO Jeff Miller said: "We have already taken the initial steps on headcount internationally. As North America (NAM) activity falls, we will make adjustments in the US as well. We expect our headcount reductions to be in-line with our primary competitors. We will minimize discretionary spending. There is likely to be more restructuring in first quarter as we put initiatives in place to temper the impact of the...
