Suncor said they wouldn't touch their field staff. They did, firing engineers and all.

Didn’t Whelan say in the last forum that he and Rich are friends outside of work. Well Rich was named the Canadian business man of the year by some bullsh-t organization, after he massacred 3k jobs at Suncor. This is just another Rich inspired move... — read more

I've seen some folks reporting 3 weeks per year of tenure and for short-term employees numbers seems to be smaller. I also see that some are reporting that lawyers are advising them to sign. Just curious if we can consolidate what we know about... — read more

Several of you confirmed the 3:00 MDT Employee Forum invites went out. Can anyone who attended share what was actually said in the meeting and what the outcome was?

Meeting sent out. Good luck folks

All Imperial employees invited to a 3pm forum.

Is announcing an Upstream move to Edmonton a way to get people to quit ? The Oilers are offering $15 Million to McDavid and he still wants to leave Deadmonton .

Very connected senior employee halfway around the world told me today Imperial was to be sold. Stopped by here to see total panic so am thinking it must be real.

What a great prank. First it was 6 AM before markets open for a big announcement, then it was in the morning when business opened, then it was afternoon so that managers get a heads up first. Now it’s end of day when markets have closed. Some are... — read more

Apparently, management and leadership are attending a forum, which may or may not mean anything. If anyone has updates, please share. I really hope all of this turns out to be just unsubstantiated rumors - not because I’m invested in this company... — read more 

I’m not sure if it’s happening today or later this week, but I know it’s not related to this place or trolling. People who had no idea what this site was when I mentioned it are on edge because they’ve heard the same rumors we have here.

It sure seems like we got trolled heavily by someone here. I don’t see a damn announcement or invite for anything, nor does anyone else.

Apparently nothing happening until Friday.

Good luck all!

I know I'm not the only one who can't even think about work right now. The sooner this is over, the better, even if I'm cut. The anticipation is ki-ling me, literally. I'm scared to take my blood pressure again because of how high it is. Anyone who... — read more 

They're basically giving it to us so we don't sue them down the line, right? So is there a way to negotiate the number or any benefits that might come with it? I'm sorry if this sounds like a stupid question, but this is the first time I'm facing... — read more 

I have it from a good source (high up in management) that Imperial is being directed by Exxon to reduce headcount. The legality of this is up for debate, perhaps Exxon will acquire imperial, but that’s besides the point. What we know for a fact is 1)... — read more 

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... — read more 

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.
