For those of you getting laid off, my thoughts and prayers are with you all. I am waiting for my time to come.
Are they sending out calendar items, or just contacting you out of the blue?
Also, it looks like India is getting hit...hard.

Been glued to this site since the reorg announcement couple years back and it's just spiraling downwards. Total implosion is the only way to describe it. The culture and morale? Words fail me. Honestly, I'm starting to feel bummed that I haven't been laid off yet. I'd rather face starvation and homelessness than deal with this mess. Seriously considering quitting outright.
And I've got 20 years in the banking world under my belt, worked at multiple banks, but I've never seen anything this chaotic and awful. I'm actually surprised we haven't racked up more regulatory violations, but with the way things are going, it feels inevitable.
This past month has been beyond terrible. Almost everyone in my department has either been laid off, quit, or jumped ship to a new role.
Given the impact MENA has on SLB’s revenue and the closing of the strait, any rumors about the SLB situation and what to expect in terms of headcount situation in the Houston metroplex?
When do they decide who is on the next layoff list? Would my manager know by now if Ill be effected?
Severance details will be provided in the next two days.
After I was told that I was let go, my OT accounts got disabled in around two to two and half hrs. Since I had not locked my device or logged out, I could continue to access my local personal files and upload them to cloud storage. If you have any personal files in Core Share (due to Win 11 migration), upload those immediately as once the OT account is disabled, you can't access those files.
As soon as I locked my session, I could no longer access the laptop because my user profile was disabled, and only the OT Admin can access it now. So, DO NOT LET YOUR DEVICE GET LOCKED till you have all your personal files uploaded.
I just want to move on.
If you didn’t get Nike shoes, prepare thy self. You are being 9 boxed!! Update that resume!
Is it possible to just ask to be laid off? We all know it's coming, is there a way we can just be added to the top of the list? My manager says there isn't a list, I dont believe him
I'd rather enjoy my summer than worry about if I'm next every other week.
Good luck folks! It happened to me this morning
No LTI replacement yet? Really? Employee first? Employee focus? When was the last update?

Fun morale booster.
Has anyone heard anything about April layoffs?
Has anyone heard of anything brewing in OT, ORx OI etc? O lot of VP's have resigned in the last 2 weeks, I wonder if they were offered a package or knew something bad was coming?
RSS and SMEs already "Phased Out" and we were just told Friday to start "seriously considering" new positions.
RIF'd in February and received my separation package this morning. The dates are right and the weeks lump sum is correct but there is no mention how the PTO will be paid out. Falling under the rule of 60, in a conversation with HR a few weeks ago, they confirmed I would get the entire year's pto. How is that paid out and why isn't it in the separation agreement?
