Just so you know I was told today that CVE no longer values your development or education as of this week. New strategy. They are looking for unqualified people off the streets with no valid experience or education to fill open roles. The d-mber... — read more 

Reposted from whoever wrote it as a comment in one of the threads, so true: Everyone’s blaming Jon for the layoffs but see if there have been 3 CEOs since 2015 and various CLT members, that’s when the ridiculous decision making and constant... — read more 

What's getting hit? Or are we done?

No one in Land or Stakeholder Relations was let go. Must be alot in other areas.

Check it out 13 new technical positions posted in Columbus, Ohio posted today (Tuesday May 6). One posted yesterday. Many of these are Process Enginnering Specialists. Essentially Cenovus downstream laid off managers in favour of technical skills... — read more 

I wish they would finish layoffs in one day. Spreading it over a few days or even a week only serves to drag out the anxiety and make everyone feel even worse.

From what I can see, most of the people being laid off are at least 40. Sure, there are a few exceptions, but that's exactly what they are, exceptions.

IT has been hit hard from what I can see. So sorry guys.

I was looking at a Logistics Analyst posting but it looks like this is a waste of time. I’ve always thought that Cenovus would be a good place to work so I’m disappointed to hear about these cuts. Best of luck to all and hope things work out for... — read more 

Technical services will be laid off tomorrow. They were told to work from home and wait.

Layoffs likely on Tuesday this week.

This silence in office is calm before the storm or layoff concerns overly hyped here?

Strategy is to hold and delay and hope people resign to reduce severance payout What a na*sty management and company

I would assume they would want to complete the cleanup before CEO Town Hall in May? In 2019 Husky did layoffs right next day after the federal elections. Maybe history repeats itself this time?

One leader speaking to another leader: You know me, I know you. Let us both work together to protect our job and we will only hire like minded people who will help us protect our job and not raise any valid concerns. I know so many highly qualified... — read more 

Any word on what Cenovus is doing with the 3 assets in the U.S.? There have been many industry insiders saying they are seeking to sell or transfer ownership of those assets to another energy company.

Expressing my deep disappointment in the decision to mandate a full-time return to the office, five days a week. This move feels not only regressive but also disconnected from the realities and needs of a modern, diverse workforce. For many of us... — read more 

SVP of conventional/ well delivery said the new organization will be rolled out in early May. Anyone else curious when the layoffs begin? I guess we would all just be guessing anyways but the short little tu-d ball is running out of time.

My manager has made my life miserable due to unfair treatment, biased attitude and disrespectful behavior. Can I take legal action against him? I don't have anything recorded information Cenovus is a terrible company

When is the next date for SCM Layoffs? Will the director be doing them in person? Not sure how US ones will work...

Do I need to be ready tomorrow for the call? Which team is next?

The constant tension and anxiety are unbearable. It’s as if we don’t have enough worries already, without having layoffs looming over our heads for weeks or even months.

I dont work at CVE, i heard you guys still have company housing in 2025 at select asset locations and correct me if im wrong but also in YYC. WTHHH, that is an insane perk to be offered in 2025 when most of yall competitors are hurting pretty bad for... — read more 

Our leadership is useless. We’re all supposed to work for the next month with this layoff cloud over our heads. It kind of sums up their attitude to employee mental health, that being they just don’t care. Meanwhile all we get for direction are... — read more 

I have heard there is a downstream reorganization structure being shared with some leaders. Has anyone seen this and is there anything material changing?

I was terminated along with five of my colleagues. Each of us specialists in our respective fields. Package is respectable. Just in time for spring !!

Seriously, what is our direction? What is the long-term strategy beyond cut, cut, cut?

Mine has been horrendous. I honestly can’t remember the last time it was this difficult to even reach the interview stage. I’m completely and utterly demoralized and exhausted. I started my job search last year, mostly as a precaution, but it’s now... — read more 

I hate that I feel this way, but I do. This is not the same company I joined years ago.

I hope we all come out of this tough time better off.

Somebody asked about 50+ employees. My desk / hard drive are all cleaned out. I am ready to be terminated tomorrow. I started at Ram River, worked in Lloydminster, and presently a Specialist in Downstream. Life is too short to sit in a cubicle... — read more 

Ladies & Gentlemem. I would advise spending some time before Tuesday transferring personal information off your company drive & e-mail. Once you have been notified of your termination IT will freeze your account almost immediately. Bumping this from... — read more
