As the title shows what are we as employees and contractors going to ask for? the sky should be the limit given the last one many thumbed up the nasty coffee in the west,

How does one resign from this place? where is the “button”? is there a “goto”? Is there an app? does one send an email to the supervisor first before using the official avenue to HR?

What’s going to happen to the Imperial Staff at Norman Wells after its closure later this year ? I assume they were accounted for in the Sept decision a slated for a severance ??? I heard the money was good up there, su-ks for all affected.

Due to family reasons, I can’t move out of Calgary. Has anyone asked if there is any opportunity to work remote rely from Calgary, or do fly-in fly-out to Kearl or Cold Lake or Norman Wells?? I am not a troll. I am out of options and desperate.
