Stop fear mongering, nothing is happening today nor tomorrow nor any other day. Just check your senior leaders calendars there is nothing suspicious there. And kearl asset manager is on days off, don’t you think he would be working if there were layoffs. Calm tf down.

Generally speaking, most O&G companies are a mess. Changes to work from home; limited to no longer available, chaotic environments, and inconsistent leadership. I've worked at a few, and each one felt like its own kind of circus.

That said, what makes CNRL stand out (negatively) compared to peers like Cenovus or Suncor?

If you started at CNRL’s Calgary corporate office, what do you wish you’d known beforehand? Would you genuinely advise others to steer clear?

What is about to happen is part of a global strategy to reduced headcount and move our Canadian jobs to Houston and the BTC. ExxonMobil still wants our oil and has plans to increase production and develop Aspen plus other assets. If they want our oil, the jobs should be here. We may not be able to do much, but we can make it harder. Write to Smith, Carney, even Brian Jean and APEGA. It may not stop them, but it could make them think twice or slow them down, which is worth a try.

Some dufus started this rumor after seeing IOL LT at EMHC but honestly there is NO credible source that anything will be happening tomorrow. Its going to be a normal day at work FFS.

Will there be more layoffs in the US and Canada before the end of the year?

Hi guys, have you seen any ACs NetSuite firings in US and Canada?? I've not seen, I feel, our ACS dept will be next in firings.

Let me know your thoughts, I'm losing sleep over this. I'm a functional consultant with NetSuite ACS.

High tech companies including Cisco are outsourcing non-technical and technical jobs to India, Canada and Europe. Why SBG hires program managers in Canada while there are hundreds of talented program managers in US and are unemployed?

I heard the rumor that we have put a freeze on any more Canadian expat moves? Is this true? Guyana will be f’d

What has happened to Enbridge? We used to be top ten but now we are 191? This should be a wake up call for evryone! https://www.forbes.com/lists/canada-best-employers/

They let everyone go, especially acquired like hMF, keeping sales teams but no one to patch or support the products. EMEA will now become India only (eventually), US is just Canada.

Justifying the cost being saved by getting unskilled people in India (replacing the existing) to submit canned responses, knowing customers won't be able to immediately migrate to alternative or seek damages on SLA.

Probably going to fail miserably with this all talk with his own talkshow CEO. Talking about AI, creating a snowy mascot to hop on stage but not actually giving his employees the tools.

With all the diversity promoted, where is your Indian AI mascot?

At least we all got some AI experience as we were filling in those lead to nowhere Career Week forms, another true example to this company being all for show, fake new procedures and hard on it's hard working employees for nothing.

"Better together" never made sense, not when you are forced to commute 2 hours to an empty office, only to conference with 3 other regions who need to do the same.

Good luck to the few left to train their replacements.
