Management is now planning a large change this quarter!! They are going to see who fits in to their new company and the ones that don't unfortunately will be gone!! Another 400-500 planned with no warning!! This is the new Cenovus rotating layoffs... — read more 

Is there any optimist here to tell us that Cenovus will be back on track? Unfortunately, I do not see a place for optimism anywhere in this company.

I try not to care about this company and where it is going because I can’t change anything except create even more stress for myself. Every day I repeat to myself that I am only here for the paycheck and that the time has long passed when work here... — read more 

In the new Cenovus workplace flexibility survey, everyone please say we want to work from home 100% of the time. So we can avoid toxic office culture and get work done from home remotely.

If you were laid off, would you ever consider reapplying for a job here if an opportunity presented itself?

Quote: “The Daimler-Benz and Chrysler is regularly used by MBA courses as the textbook example of how culture clashes will inevitably lead to the failure of a deal. It has been said in some quarters that the two cultures were too different to ever... — read more

Pros: 1) "There will be no promotion" 2) "There will be no layoffs" 3) "Salary will be frozen" 4) "At this time we are not considering voluntary leave" Cons: 1) This rule only applies to bottom, nobody employees who work day and night to meet... — read more 

Cenovus management has betrayed all and any trust employees used to have with them. Alex is on the way out as Jon gives him a few subtle shoves to start anyways. Jon brought over enough Husky management that they can slowly remove any and all... — read more 

Do you think cenovus will foloow permanent work from home model for office staff after the pendamic is over?

This company and its management have proven time and time again that they don’t care about any employees and we are all expendable to them. That’s why anyone who has any loyalty to Cenovus is just a dolt. Go to work and get paid and then go home... — read more 

Over the last 10 years, every time Cenovus made a bad business decision, ranging from selling their conventional assets (where the major faux pas was that the expected purchase price was all over the internet), layoffs in 2014 (where the people being... — read more 

The next round won't be advertised and the packages may leave some feeling disappointed they were not in the first two rounds!! I feel sorry for those left wondering if they will still be employed in 2022!! Husky was a dead horse.. Conventional... — read more 

Asked for a package. Had some initial misgivings, but after a week of reflection I could not be happier. Taking the summer off 😀 Face it, CVE leadership was barely hanging on before this takeover and in general have no clue how to run 2 oil sands... — read more 

Let’s take a survey now and save AP and HR some time as they troll this site: a) If you plan to leave Cenovus when jobs come back, please like this post. b) If you plan to stay and take it, and take it again, please dislike this post. .. — read more 

I would say no. The morale is so bad and I have never seen it worse. I personally have no will to work and find it difficult to concentrate. I don’t even know what could fix this low morale anymore? Maybe hope that WTI may go to 100 dollars and jobs... — read more 

So, is the fallout as bad as I have been hearing? Heard FC and CL lost a PILE of personnel, both in Operations and Maintenance. VERY safe to assume the work environment is going to be worse than it was if that' s possible.

With a combined workforce of 6600 now Cenovus will plan to shrink this number down to 4000-4500 in the coming years!! Expect layoffs without notice next quarter and by year end!! They have to make their year end look good!! At 6600 people the... — read more

Changes and adaptation to new times are necessary, otherwise there will be a debacle. That is clear. However, lately I’ve been thinking about how fast Cenovus is adapting, compared to competitors? I think that unfortunately the competitors are much... — read more 

How many times have you had someone else take credit for your work? This seems to be increasingly common in this company. It has happened before, but not to such an extent. This is just one more reason why I don’t try too hard at all, and there... — read more 

Husky/ Cenovus animosity is starting to bother me a lot. People are divided and on both sides I have had the opportunity to hear that they do not have a good opinion of each other. I’m talking about animosity among ordinary workers. While the... — read more 

Yes there is layoffs good people from all sides are now jobless my friends and colleagues alike. I shouldn't have to explain the birds and the bees to grown men and women. If companies don't adapt and change to the times they just become a... — read more 

If you're laid off you get a nice severance to tide you over until you can find a new job. It's not ideal but it's certainly not as bad as being fired and having nothing to fall back on. Get out of your doom and gloom mentality. Is this what us Husky... — read more 

So Husky produces 290,000 bbl per day Cenovus produces about 460,000 bbl per day Husky uses 5500 employees Cenovus uses 2300 employees. Seems that Husky is having a harder time getting oil out of the ground even with over twice as many people... — read more

Curious if anyone over 55 had benefit coverage extended to age 65?

Just curious as I saw a lot of long term contractors let go. Did you get anything for Severance at all? I believe if they didn't they owe you big time for making them an employee. This is ripe for a class action if nothing or a pittance is... — read more 

Corporate name change ?

I don’t work for the company but live in fear of lays offs as well. The company I work for went through a large round early in 2020. Tumour is more to come. Just wondering if it was only Cenovus Employees or were Husky people let go too? — read more 

I was younger and I was paid enough so that before I wasn’t even aware of how this company was essentially mentally abusing its employees. It seemed really nice on the surface but in reality nothing was as great as it looked. I've spent many... — read more

Saw, reposted, deserves it. Since 2014 CVE had 10 layoffs. I recall that we used to have over 8 thousand emails, I was always curious how the company could operate having 4 thousand office people, 50 VPs and 3000 field people. I recall that in June... — read more 

I have been wondering why only one news agency reported the layoffs (CTV). The numbers were significant in January and now but majority of news are not saying anything. I don't believe in conspiracy but lately this does not make sense that news... — read more 

I see posts that some groups are done, how do you know? Do you get a notification? We haven't been hit yet so I'm not sure if we're lucky and will be spared this round or if today is our day. In any case, it'd be good to know how they notify you that... — read more 

Odd how you have to hear it from the media they’re letting go of 800-1000 employees. What is HR trying to hide here?

Honestly, I don’t understand people who are convinced that they won’t survive the next round of layoffs and panic in advance, nor those who are too confident that they will survive not only one more, but also two and three next rounds. How come... — read more 

Take a pause and think about it. How many rounds and how many people? This is more of a rethorical question though.
