COVID cases at the Husky office
Rumors started early this morning of an outbreak at our office. People in my team followed up and confirmed it with colleagues in the affected department. Zero communication from corporate or management. One floor, possibly two, have positive... — read more
Covid rising
Quick everyone, Even though Covid cases are going through the roof Alex wants you back at work so he can lay you off. This is ridiculous. The mgmt is saying there is no rush to work but the VPs are pressuring everyone to come in now full time... — read more
Layoffs info
Hi from Husky! We had a call today with our CEO this morning. He reiterated about 2000 layoffs from the combined company when "the dust settles" (said the combined company has about 9000 total staff, and are targeting roughly 7000 as of now). He... — read more
Who trusts them?
Our mgmt screwed up the deep basin integration royally. They brought over Conoco managers that sold themselves as being the best thing since sliced bread. After a while this was proven very false. Even the Conoco people didn’t like the managers they... — read more
Start your Job Search Now!
You need to have a ‘Plan B’ ready when they make their rounds in the new year and let you go. If your lucky enough to be given a position, then choose which job you want to take if you find another option. Many of my peers are doing the same. — read more

Which system to keep
Husky has more mature and efficient systems in most business functions, so who's system are we actually going to keep. I'm not holding my breath that is ours in this case.
Guys, do not worry.....
UCP War Room Now Activated! They have our back. Everything will be just fine. Watch the UCP gift this NewCo our taxpayer money to make ends meet. Seriously, this province is done.
Side of Covid anyone?
Remember when we used to care about every +100 cases. Maybe covid will help reduce headcount as well. All options are on the table.
Will there be layoffs due to the merger?
If yes, who will be affected the most?
CVE/Husky Layoffs
Per CVE townhall 1700-2100 job losses expected between both companies. Hard times ahead for many.
How to name the NewCo?
Thoughts?

Husky merger
Okay. Nothing like turning on the news on Sunday morning at 8:01, pouring a nice hot cup of coffee on a brisk morning, and seeing the back end of a report from an analyst about layoffs coming while showing pictures of Cenovus. Then going on email... — read more
Organizational Health
I like how the big man didn't mention bureaucracy at all in his comments. The one big elephant in the survey and crickets. Leadership......not from him.
406 cases today and now Kenny!
Now I’m freaking out.. not ready to go back anymore!. I was ready, but not now.. CVE - please provide an update !

Record Covid Cases in Alberta (364)!
Would like to hear from the Health and Safety team and AR right now.. so much has changed since the return announcement earlier this week.
Have a little thought
My first time on this site and I felt so sad at the lack of thought from those hiding behind anonymity to throw hurtful comments around, focus on such minor issues relative to the issues that some people are going through in their lives, dealing with... — read more
Chicken Crates Vs Covid

So when is Cenovus laying off. Gravy train must be over by now.
Covid-19 and Safety (continued)
Alberta infection counts are on the rise.. should we expect to be coming back to the office soon as a result? Would seem expected.
Survey closes today
How many of you anonymous commenters here answered the org health survey and filled in comments truthfully? It takes courage when there’s a possibility someone’s going to know it was you!
How can CVE not fail?
So imagine you have a couple of credit cards, one is at the max of say $4500. You tried going to the pawn shop to sell some of your stuff, but they said it was just c-ap and wouldn't buy, garage sale didn't even work (by the way most of your c-ap... — read more
A Culture of Safety includes Covid-19
AP's real view on Safety is tested yet again.. ..so lets get everyone back in a building with poor circulation with small cubicles asap! Call it 'Peer-pressure' maybe.
Does AP think he controls the weather too?
Just wondering.. I mean he can control governments, climate change politics.. maybe he controls the weather too. Boy we’re a lucky bunch.
Why is HR still hiring?
Salary rollbacks and a hiring freeze and all we get are more HR peons. What a mess.

Deep Basin
With Oil Prices going negative it is awesome Ferguson bought Deep Basin..ramp up the drilling in Deep Basin. Dry gas is the place to be.
Half full
If there is one good thing that comes out of this it may be the end of open office spaces.
All in this together?
I hope I’m wrong but to clarify; Employees and mgmt all took salary reductions, but according to the globe and mail our CEO had a raise in 2018-2019 of about $3m (total compensation). He took a 25% cut, so he’s still ahead with his recent raise... — read more
