Troubles finding a new job

We need to look for an urgent way out of here, because 2022 will be very turbulent, it seems to me. However, I haven't been able to find anything for months. On the other hand, everyone who left says that they found a new job without much trouble... — read more 

Who will stay here?

Judging by the current situation, it seems to me that only ones to stay here until the end of the year are the biggest mediocrities and brown nosers?

Love this place at Xmas time

It's obvious that people are now into the adult beverages and posting. Just read an incoherent post that gave me a WTF look. Tis the season! Merry Christmas to everyone! If I had anything with some juice, I would share. Cheers

Retail notice given this week

So the retail group was given notice this week and were "asked to stick around" until the transaction closed to facilitate operations. They have to reapply for their jobs with the buyer(s).... What a gong show

Cash Flow Way Up = Bonuses Way Down?

So, the messaging in Town Halls is the integration has exceeded all expectations….but prepare for lower bonuses! Cash flow increased by 700% and everyone has to work 12 hour days just to keep up, but sorry…bonus targets are now 20% lower so any... — read more

Voluntary packages

Most of all I'd like Cenovus to offer voluntary packages. I guess it won’t happen because most people would leave, but I wonder if there’s even the slightest chance that they could offer it? I would be forever grateful to this company for doing so. — read more

Does anyone have any hope and optimism that next year will be better at Cenovus or is there no hope for this company anymore?

They only know how to make cuts

If that's all there is to know about running a company than anyone would be able to do it. It wouldn't matter who is on top, because everyone knows how to give layoffs to people. Cut employees, survivors who have no other option will do more work and... — read more

CPMO inefficient overhead to the organization!

Thank god for commodity prices

CLT got to brag about scorecards and performance and the investors ate it all up. Notice that the only single thing that has changed is that the price of oil went up. What happens when the market corrects and oil is back to 40-45 WTI? Oh wait... — read more

How to keep a job?

I am very anxious because I have seen this company lay off great people. That doesn't make any sense. If hard work is not the way to keep a job, what do I do to avoid being on the layoff list?

CVE travel comp

Was surprised to learn CVE comp's people from outside of Alberta for travel, SK/BC $800 and outside of that $1200. Hard to understand why CVE would do that when Alberta has plenty of unemployed and qualified people that would love a job with CVE?

who are the target groups?

I didn't think there would be more cuts before the new year, I honestly thought we would be able to relax a bit. Now there are some rumors about 200 less people by the end of the year. Does anyone know who could be the target groups for the... — read more

Uncertainty tires me out

Yes, it is tiresome to work in a company where there is so much uncertainty and one doesn't know whether he or she will be axed soon or not. I haven’t been here long, so I wonder if the situation used to be any different, could employees have felt... — read more

Safety

There was a major safety incident. So guess that means no bonuses unless 'major' is defined as more than life altering for greater than one person. If so I guess that means this is an acceptable level of safety incidents.
