It makes me sick to see how much corporate marketing BS pixie dust we are sprinkling all around LinkedIn and other social media while... The worst thing of all we are doing it while we have a never-ending streak of layoffs that arguably makes the... — read more 

Just curious if anyone has noticed the pattern of releasing employees over the age of 50? Seems to be a pattern in some areas of the company

Just wanted to wish everybody good luck - whether you are hoping to stay or leave. Hopefully after the week is over things will go back to (somewhat) normal.

AP has put himself in your shoes. He knows the feeling. He worked at a pipeline company. Pipeline companies have 9 rounds of layoffs in 6 years right?!? He understands your pain..

I don’t like when anyone gets laid off, we’re all just part of a big machine, but for some reason I think that Cenovus and most of us would breathe easier if a lot of those from HR were fired. Most of them are one big burden to this company. Ever... — read more 

When our of our execs states that he’s “not used to working for a company with this many near misses and events”, it really is a weird statement. First, his position is one of influencing, not “working for”. You have the power to fix the system. ... — read more 

Layoffs rarely if ever start on a Monday. Tuesday is probably going to see the bulk of it.

Hopefully the stress ends. I wish you all best.

For the last four years at CVE I have felt like a cast member in the movie Office Space

I took a week off but I still can't fully relax and stop thinking about layoffs.

Husky is hiring Engineers for Superior, WI. Check careers section of the website.

If you were offered a job right now with a 20% or 30% lower pay, would you accept it?

This is so funny it makes me want to cry. Our team as it is from the Jan 26th round of layoffs is so understaffed it’s crazy and people are starting to get stressed. Add on top of that the completely arbitrary money savings that we were told to find... — read more 

Legit wondering, I know for a fact that Lloyd thermal was hit pretty hard in the first round and got gutted pretty bad. I heard that Lloyd downstream didn't get hit yet, HLU and HLR didn't seem to get hit at all. Are they next? Or not at all.

This is a frank question. Arguably, this madness composed of non stop hits just cannot continue forever.

Why do the people in HR keep torturing people with anxiety and fear? If there are more layoffs to do, just do them. The longer you wait, the more PTSD you are causing in people.

I'm glad I got out early. The legacy managers of Husky have made it terrible. Work Load increased by 3 fold. Constant threats of layoffs. old Husky Policies still being pushed out. I hope for the people left that some of the managers that have been... — read more

I Expect Q1 to be a disaster in Finance. No one notices things until it doesn't go right. Don’t lay off the wrong people ! The 364 days that our computer works and IT systems function as expected, and one day it does not, is the day everyone... — read more 

Don't think that if you are spared in March you're out of the woods. I would be surprised if we saw the end of this before next year...

Have the layoffs started? Does anyone have info to share? Someone here has rumored earlier that it will start on March 8, while some groups will be cut on the 15th? I wish I had some updates. Despite the fact that I can’t wait to get out of here... — read more 

The situation in this company is such that I would rather resign immediately if I wasn't worried about how to endure a new beginning somewhere at my age, at entry level pay and/or without vacation. I’ve changed a few jobs and each time it’s getting... — read more 

I am safe for now but am considering job offers. Honestly, I came to Cenovus when I was much younger and back then paycheck was the only thing important to me. After several years here, in addition to paycheck, I pay more attention to other things... — read more 

Husky had created a toxic work environment in the past, no wonder they were taken over.. March will be a freedom for many who are let go!! A new beginning. The lucky ones will get a package approximately 1000 more freedom packages!!

I wish I was already laid off in the first round to spare myself the agony until the next round. I don’t feel any better because I got a chance to stay here for a few more months. Just an extension of the agony and a waste of time. I am in... — read more 

Please don't get me wrong, I think Cenovus could have managed the layoffs differently and much better, and I certainly think that they treated workers absolutely unfairly, but one thing is by no means clear to me. People are furious that the company... — read more 

Well, Getting a severance will not be the worst outcome. Finally we will be free and hopefully with a descent severance package we will do just fine. We can collect EI right away so we can stretch a little bit the “time off”. Cenovus is set to... — read more 

I identified with someone who said they got another chance to be themselves again after the layoff. I also have a feeling that Cenovus has totally changed my personality after working there for more than seven years. Anyone else? I guess that was an... — read more

Although I was aware that Cenovus was laying off people without any meaningful order, I still secretly hoped to survive at least one more round. Unfortunately, it won't happen. I think the layoff is a big shock even for those who have no... — read more

I am a former nexen person and I can relate to the anxiety you cenovus / husky folks are feeling. It was unbearable when I was at the last place and the endless layoffs were going on. I was eventually let go like most people. In retrospect I regret... — read more
