Quoted from Houston Business Journal: "Certainly low oil prices have hit Houston oil and gas jobs, but not all jobs are created equal. There are certain levels and functions within the broadly affected sectors that are more at risk than others, according to a recent metro-area forecast from the University of Houston."LINK 4951

They're using this opportunity to weed out the people they don't want. I've seen people fired over not wearing safety glasses after they used the bathroom.
 
Be ontime
Don't cause trouble
Obey the goofy rules

@TXSunDvl:
 
Salary freeze, hiring freeze, training freeze. It's scary. They announced last week that they will announce layoffs in April. They are already moving around expats, back to their country of origin, including bringing Americans back home. I was the last one hired in my group; extra scary for me. I have never been fired or laid off before. Hoping I make the cut come April. If I don't, I already have a plan. 4951

@Francita: Yeah, we had the hiring freeze before the salary freeze.  It's good to have a backup plan.

The Tenaris plant in Conroe is letting all of their hourly employees go in Mid April. It doesn't look temporary. 4951
