Is that definitely true? How many are in the immediate danger?

Get ready to overpay for a house in Edmonton and have a tough time unloading your house in Calgary. The number of people moving is enough to temporarily change prices. Good luck losing when you sell and then being underwater when ypu buy!

In case people haven't noticed; this has been standard operating procedure for Imperial Oil Ltd. over the last at least 10 years, and for sure since their restructuring at FAP. Do more with less and if you buy-in we may allow you into our cliché (as... — read more

There is risk of fire, explosions, hazardous gas release and much more in refineries. Putting office workers on this site to save a corporate lease is asinine. Make no mistake, this company does not give a sh-t about you, your health, or your... — read more

Key point missing is where this building at Strathcona will be given there’s really no excess office space. You will likely be in a blastproof building (like the current office building) and subjecting yourself to questionable air quality for the... — read more 

If the company is going to treat its employees as disposable, I for one will not be helping them decide who to lay-off and who to keep. Make them make the tough decisions that will backfire.

I need this job. My family relies on me. I can't afford to lose it right now. The fact that I have a one in five chance to be laid off is nauseating. And to think this is all because they don't care about us and want to replace us with cheaper... — read more 

Anyone knows already if they are willing to relocate to Edmonton? I've never been there so I have no idea how it stacks up against Calgary. I've head good things, apparently their Hockey team is pretty solid too.

There's a lot of expats in Houston, others around the world. Is anyone aware of the plan for them or the impact? Are they included in the cuts announced today?

From another thread: 900 Calgary campus employees gone. The remaining folks will be shipped to the manufacturing sites primarily Strathcona (Edmonton). Some site folks (non wage) are to be replaced by higher performing folks from the Calgary move... — read more 

Suncor said they wouldn't touch their field staff. They did, firing engineers and all.

Didn’t Whelan say in the last forum that he and Rich are friends outside of work. Well Rich was named the Canadian business man of the year by some bullsh-t organization, after he massacred 3k jobs at Suncor. This is just another Rich inspired move... — read more

Is announcing an Upstream move to Edmonton a way to get people to quit ? The Oilers are offering $15 Million to McDavid and he still wants to leave Deadmonton .

Very connected senior employee halfway around the world told me today Imperial was to be sold. Stopped by here to see total panic so am thinking it must be real.

What a great prank. First it was 6 AM before markets open for a big announcement, then it was in the morning when business opened, then it was afternoon so that managers get a heads up first. Now it’s end of day when markets have closed. Some are... — read more
