In 2019 Corporate Governance laws were changed. You may want your lawyer to review these changes in relation to how Husky and Cenovus have been operating the BOARD OF DIRECTORS. Any lapses in these regulations by you leaders will help you to build a... — read more
Where did the $100 million of CEWS taxpayer's money Husky and Cenovus gladly accepted from the Gov go?
You may want to ask your manger as he leads you to the exit with your box of belongings.
It's "LET'S TALK" Corporate virtue signaling day. Look up "Toxic workplace" and what it means.
Make sure you remember the mental torture you have endured at Husky and Cenovus and document your suffering . Your lawyer will want to hear all about it when you visit for a free 30 minute consultation about your package. Better yet hopefully there... — read more
Budget and Guidance
Atlantic Canada with 40-45/bbl OPEX. Can we get rid of this asset already? Snip snip snip. Husky Oil Sands aren’t looking very profitable....
Time for good old legacy Pan Canadian People to Retire
There are to many legacy employees and leaders of the good old pan Canadian days, time to retire.. to many leaders that are taking on more then they can chew.. it’s time for them to retire.. maybe the March layoffs will prove otherwise.. seem too... — read more
Remaining employees to form a Union.
If the remaining employees were smart they would form a Union. It would be a wonderful way to let management know that you are fed up with being terrorized by constant lay offs .
Slow clap for our CEO (Jon or Alex??)
So congratulations to those that made the cut. Now you get to sit around and wait for more cuts in March. I really like looking around and seeing directors with three leads reporting to them and multiple managers or VPs where there was one before... — read more
EI Application - How soon or late after being laid off can I apply?
I got laid off yesterday Jan 26. Considering that I was given a few months package, can I go ahead to apply for EI right away or I have to wait until after the number of months my package cover? Does anybody know the correct way to approach... — read more
Reason for the layoff timing
I believe that the reason for spreading the layoffs over this longer period is that the organization doesn't have the cash to pay everyone off at the same time. I know the severance offered to Suncor is similar and they are paying it out monthly... — read more
Always remember, if you’re fired, it’s your fault. A layoff is an admission of failure of management
Not Even Started Yet!
That’s right. HR was not ready today and behind schedule, so they had to push the majority of the plan to layoff people to March. I heard there were only 100-200 people today across both companies. More like a warm up Finance was not really... — read more
Who decides who goes and who stays?
Who decides who goes and who stays? The supervisor says he didn't know it was happening. How could he not. 5 field people in the same position and 1 gets canned. And the boss says he had no part in the decision.
Severance package details
Best wishes to those let go today Can someone provide details about the severance package offered by cenovus this round? Is it 1 month salary per year or more?
So long Farewell Aufwiedersehn Goodnight
My time with Cenovus has come to an end, and I honestly could not feel more blessed by the opportunities that I had in joining the organization or the generosity they showed in my exit. It has been a fun ride, and I wish nothing but success for those... — read more
Which groups
So which groups are done with the layoffs today?
Why are posts being deleted from this forum?
Did HR buy this website?
Talent Profiles
Remember when the entire workforce was urged to fill in every field in the Talent profile late in 2020. Unless the senior leaders are putting in 100 hour weeks dedicated to the review and simultaneously conversing with their counterparts in the... — read more
It's started
Good luck, all!
Saying goodbye is never easy!!
Its been a great ride throughout the years.. Unfortunately all good things come to a end.. Hopefully everyone saved there pennies.. Not much for jobs out there and $2000 month unemployment only goes so far.. All the best and good luck to everyone... — read more
Well it’s time
Well Folks, I guess on Monday we find out which day is d-day for each of us. Probably Tuesday - Thursday about 1,500 people will be let go into one of the worst job markets in decades. We will hear about them treating us with fairness and respect... — read more
Toxic workplace review coming
Look forward to the upcoming toxic workplace review coming. This will involve current and former employee testimony. People have a right to know exactly what has been happening and has happened here. If nothing is wrong here then an inpendant review... — read more
Assets
Any ideas/rumors on what assets will be sold?
More Fat
I hope Cenovus leadership is privy to the study Husky commissioned by HRG (High Reliability Group) a few years ago. They identified many structural problems within Husky, a few recommendations were carried out by Husky but many more went ignored. — read more
Husky Fat
I agree, Husky has some fat to trim. How about we cut out "Personal Use Vehicles" and save a few dollars and jobs. That's right, Husky managers have unlimited use of company trucks. Unlimited mileage, gas and a new vehicle every 150000 km. Anyone... — read more
For the Bros
The time for honoring yourself will soon be at an end!
Layoff list exposed
The positions ripe for outsourcing The employees who refuse to learn new skill The consummate slacker The employee who embarrasses his boss The person who costs too much The co-worker who doesn’t fit with office culture The... — read more
How would you describe Cenovus culture...
Make me laugh...
So, who are we cutting now?
After 8 or 9 rounds of cuts... Assuming we've eliminated all folks with performance issues... Assuming we've eliminated all folks that were mediocre... Who are we cutting now?
Get ready for another useless announcement
I am preparing myself for another dumb announcement this week which will say what we’ve already been told. My bet we will be told layoffs are next week and that you sit at your computer and wait for a call on Teams or Skype. Which is a pretty sure... — read more
2000 cut next week
Am I off?
Safety & Operations Tech Services Townhall - Did Jon McKenzie (COO) call himself the new CEO of the new Cenovus?
I was unable to dial into the Safety and Operations Tech Services townhall on Thursday. So, I just finished listening to the recorded townhall where John McKenzie (the COO) introduced himself. Jon seemed to introduce himself as the new CEO of the new... — read more
I just saw this and grrrr
I was watching the town hall again and I believe it was Alex that mentioned that if a manager is no longer needed in their current role they may be given the option to take over another role that would have gone to one of their direct reports. So in... — read more
Is there a document control and drafting team at Cenovus?
Im obviously with Husky and im trolling the boards to see if there is a DC and drafting department at Cenovus? I hope you dont so that you keep all of us. PS: we can get use to the small cubicles, we work hard but we dont know much, but willing to... — read more
And now the wait
So now we sit at home for the next two weeks “working” and waiting for the verdict and our future to be decided. No matter what they say this will not be merit based as fundamentally each group is given a budget and they have to cut people until... — read more
What Announcement??
What a stupid announcement that was. Let’s get this straight, these people took that long to take the last announcement and repackage it into an excel format with literally no new information and sent it out today like it was some great insight into... — read more
Cubicles
Here I thought cubicles at Husky were tiny, your’s are ridiculously tiny.
What does that mean?
Please explain what you mean by diversity and inclusion being used to decide who gets a role. If all things are equal will someone’s race or gender decide who gets the role. This might be controversial but I don’t understand what you mean by... — read more
Finance Group
Have they announced the leadership of the finance group yet (comptroller, directors, etc.)?
