It’s so infuriating to read in the news how the Provincial government tries to tie the layoffs to the feds, focusing solely on the pipeline or some perceived “red tape.” I’m with IRP, and there was no shortage of projects (less so now, no one knows... — read more

Step 1: Slash MPT using the "ranking" system Step 2: Close QP and layoff hundred Step 3: Sell Kearl to Suncor Goal: Shed pension risk based on the demographic curve before the majority vests. NOTE: We are on Step 2 this week.

There, I said it. I’m 55, still in debt, with a family and aging parents. We should all be able to live decent lives, yet we’re under constant pressure just to cover basic survival. And it can all be gone in a second. After nearly 30 years of hard... — read more 

What are your thoughts? It feels like an exercise to see who would be willing to support after they've outsourced almost everything. Take the few that are willing (or if there are extras, the top picks in their mind) and distribute them into the... — read more

Market may not have liked the news, and ambiguous and misleading press release. Are employees protest selling?

What's the new information from today? Dept numbers etc?

Does it bother you that you are not receiving the same pay as your EM counterparts? We're making it way too easy for Exxon to take advantage of Canadians

This is what you get when we could have unionized the entire company under one flag and held them by the short and curlys. Instead you all trusted a corporation to have your best interests at heart. Life lesson for you all.

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

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?
