Fluor has enjoyed a reputation for treating their personnel very well. That may now be a thing of the past. It appears that former KBR “leadership” has infiltrated the highest ranks of Fluor and could very possibly be taking advantage of their personal networks to relive the good old days. Some of you may remember those good old days, where men were men and the minions knew their place.
I’ve been told in order to be eligible to work for Fluor on LOGCAP IV you must be eligible for re-hire by KBR. What? Say it isn’t so!! In theory this should weed out the undesirables but in the case of KBR it’s just the opposite. The bulk of the bad seeds at KBR are not terminated. They are just transferred or promoted to get them out of the way or could it be to keep them from being subpoenaed and deposed. Or they are just quietly sent home.
So here is a very abbreviated list of personnel most likely not eligible for re-hire?
Those horrible folks who didn’t wear their hat and lanyard?
- Unfit and not ready for duty
Those people who had the audacity to call the Ethics Hotline?
Employees who don’t believe sexual favors are part of their job requirements?
Employees who take pride in their jobs and want to do it right the first time?
- Reduced revenue because the job is only done once
Employees reporting crimes of theft, fraud, waste and abuse
- Not in the best interest of the shareholders
I am still stunned at Fluor’s decision to hire some of the managers they’ve hired from KBR. That may account for this whole alleged “black balling” situation. Fluor is doing themselves a huge injustice of this true.
And I am still having a hard time understanding why the DoD is allowing Fluor to hire all these KBR managers that were in command when all this shit was happening. Is the DoD going to allow Fluor to turn into KBR? I can see the handwriting on the wall!!
If you have been denied employment by Fluor because of your association with KBR email me. I would love to see a copy of that denial letter. To the best of my knowledge BLACK LISTING is illegal.
If you are “Not Eligible For Rehire” for KBR and it’s a bogus claim, you really need to get that cleared up. If you were violated, mistreated, exploited, harassed and/or retaliated against march into DRP (Dispute Resolution Program) and file a complaint to clear your name!
Now…if you got drunk and were racing trucks on the airstrip or something equally stupid and were fired and are “Not Eligible For Rehire” then you deserve it.
Someone with the authority (DoD) to investigate these hiring practices and the possible misconduct involved needs to step up to the plate and end this cycle of injustice now. Do not allow Fluor to perpetuate KBR’s reign of terror.
