Anyone know what they do? How staff are involved? What is the likely impact on its sell off?

The new strategy after failing for a decade is to get out. This from a company that ran off all its talent telling them to leave, we don’t need them. What a bunch of losers.

The current price, as I type this, is $1.69. Five days ago it was around $2.40-$2.50. Have a nice Christmas everyone.

Is it true CGG is planing a major layoff round before the end of this month? Please tell me that's not true. Preparation for holidays is stressful as it is on its own. If I have to throw worrying about being laid off in the mix, I'm not sure my poor... — read more

Hope they do their research before starting.

Been hearing about possible layoffs coming to CGG Veritas sometime before holidays. I keep hoping these are the usual office rumors, but it doesn't hurt to check. Anybody here maybe knows a bit more about this? Whether it's even true or not? I would... — read more 

Is there an end in sight? Cash burn sickness?

After wiping $1.9B of debt off the books the company lost $40.8M in H1 2018 (using the standard IFRS accounting rules which have been adopted by other seismic players). I would think if CGG can't become profitable in Q3 they will have to start... — read more
