Apparently, management and leadership are attending a forum, which may or may not mean anything. If anyone has updates, please share. I really hope all of this turns out to be just unsubstantiated rumors - not because I’m invested in this company... — read more 

I’m not sure if it’s happening today or later this week, but I know it’s not related to this place or trolling. People who had no idea what this site was when I mentioned it are on edge because they’ve heard the same rumors we have here.

It sure seems like we got trolled heavily by someone here. I don’t see a damn announcement or invite for anything, nor does anyone else.

Apparently nothing happening until Friday.

Good luck all!

I know I'm not the only one who can't even think about work right now. The sooner this is over, the better, even if I'm cut. The anticipation is ki-ling me, literally. I'm scared to take my blood pressure again because of how high it is. Anyone who... — read more 

They're basically giving it to us so we don't sue them down the line, right? So is there a way to negotiate the number or any benefits that might come with it? I'm sorry if this sounds like a stupid question, but this is the first time I'm facing... — read more 

I have it from a good source (high up in management) that Imperial is being directed by Exxon to reduce headcount. The legality of this is up for debate, perhaps Exxon will acquire imperial, but that’s besides the point. What we know for a fact is 1)... — read more 

What is about to happen is part of a global strategy to reduced headcount and move our Canadian jobs to Houston and the BTC. ExxonMobil still wants our oil and has plans to increase production and develop Aspen plus other assets. If they want our... — read more 

Some dufus started this rumor after seeing IOL LT at EMHC but honestly there is NO credible source that anything will be happening tomorrow. Its going to be a normal day at work FFS.

Its clear to see with how easy people are jumping to conclusions just how broken this company is. Constantly having to wonder will you be next. Dreading announcements, dreading town halls - its a slow, exhausting and emotional mental game. This... — read more 

The rumours swirling here mostly don’t seem to discuss major sale of assets, but I don’t see why they would be meeting with federal ministers if there wasn’t something bigger than an office relocation in the works.

Upstream to Edmonton. Downstream to Sarnia. Corporate functions unknown. By end of 2026. QP being divested. Newfoundland boy doing a webcast Monday afternoon. Discuss mobility with your family. Update your resumes and LinkedIn. Fill up at PetroCan... — read more 

Would be hard to believe there is a sale of a 145 year old company. But a Polaris project employee reorganization (reduction) is more likely. My guess, if you don’t need to physically turn the pipe. Your job will be sent elsewhere. Good luck... — read more 

Kiewit employees in Calgary have been told they are moving into QP office sometime soon. I am guessing they will take West or North building. Kiewit is small enough in Calgary to fit in one building.

I just hope someone posts the decision purely driven by shareholder returns, what a shameful way to ruin a great Canadian company Congrats to the management team in Australia, Retired and soon to be retired. What a legacy to leave

APEGA records, pay stubs, etc. You never know.

This is going to be one he-l of a weekend.

I heard enbridge workers were told this? Anyone else hear? Are they taking the whole campus? Is imperial moving out?

We are all assuming Sept 29 is big announcement day. I haven’t gotten mine yet. Maybe other business units got theirs.

With a decent severance to bridge me over, I’d take it. I’ve had enough of this company. After some time here you eventually hit a wall without even realizing it, and there’s no real path forward after that. The job market isn’t great right now, but... — read more 

What’s with the rumours of upcoming announcements on either Sept 29 or Oct 1? The amount of layoffs, sell off, rumours is nuts.

Imperial isn’t doing anything amazing right now. I know the ins and outs of IOL, and there is nothing new to push the stock price so high and so fast. Now the question is who is buying IOL?? ExxonMobil is not taking over for sure, because they will... — read more 

When is quarry park to be sold?

It’s been a bit too quiet on the subject for my taste. Does anybody know if something is coming, or am I just being my usual paranoid self?

Rumor is there were offsite meetings yesterday and today between ULT and HR! Is something huge coming?!!

Have you heard anything about so called "CL25+" study?!

Does anyone have any rumours, inklings or info whatsoever around this idea of potential buyouts for mid-career employees?

How's it going folks? Is everyone seeing the downward pressure? Also are you getting actionable feedback for improvement opportunities or is it just corporate lingo and high level buzz words that don't mean anything?

Try getting anything done for the next weeks with everyone out of office. Incredible how everyone is gone.

What happened to all the people in low carbon Canada?

Takeaways from the forum The defined benefit pension is definitely going away. JW was unaware that Sarnia Research is closing Pretty well everyone sees no opportunity for a career at IOL anymore

Hearing consistent rumors of pension plan to be soon terminated/bought out. Am I in an echo chamber, or that’s a rumor across the board?

We are now over a year in since the announcement that Sarnia Research will be closed. The following is an inclusive list of all communication given to affected employees from IOL: Generic and misleading corporate wide email from Brad Corson. .. — read more 

So we are 'donating' Upstream Research to SAIT? Anyone work there? What is happening with the employees?

Why did they all leave the company?

The company has officially been driven into the ground…
