I am just a worker-bee, so curious to know how FLS and SLS are impacted by the Headcount reduction. Technical people like me always get NI and NSI, so the Supervisors ever get things like that? Just asking.

Anyone else getting Lean initiatives pushed down their throat with their assets? Safety culture has COMPLETELY disappeared at ours, only to be replaced by Japanese Philosophy! Terms like Ho-Ren-So and Yokoten. This company could not be more... — read more

Since IOL announced the exit from Calgary and reduction in presence in Canada, there seems to have been an uptick in cringe-worthy LinkedIn posts trying to make the company and themselves look better. I'm trying to decide which are the worst: The... — read more

I heard the operators will support the site from the control room at QP until 2030. Like what the fu-k who is going to support when all of them are at Edmonton? Does anyone have any update?

I mean how low can we go. They have a new rule once you leave imperial you can’t even come back as contractors.

I'd give anything to be let go with severance. This is not the same company I joined (obviously) and I have no interest in staying here long-term anymore.

Wow, as a long term investor in imperial, you got to be worried. Anyone know what the attrition rate and if anyone is actually left to manage these assets when everyone keeps resigning.

And we need them yesterday.

I heard that “key” management personnel who interface with the industry in Calgary (i.e. Petroleum Club) will remain in Calgary. I wonder where they will have their office!! 🧐. And, who are these people?? 🥸

If you got 8 weeks notice was your severance package 18 months less 8 weeks? Is anyone getting longer formal notice? Did anyone get like 6 months formal notice so that severance was significantly reduced ? (18 months, less 6 months ?)

Did anyone notice that the last cycle saving account contribution didn't get credited to your sunlife account? Isn't this stuff supposedly regulated and a company could be penalized for error, like some type of interest/missing opportunity cost.

Anyone get NSI ahead of their termination date?

Nothing makes me feel better than seeing job postings for roles in head office that are in Edmonton. So many people have said no to relocation they have no choice but to go external. The institutional knowledge loss will be huge.

A (now former) colleague of mine was featured in promotional LinkedIn post celebrating how great they are. Same person was laid off the very next day in the name of the Canada Transformation. You can't make it up.
