Has anyone else’s group been informed about a meeting this coming meeting with no information on what it is about. The superintendents didn’t even let the foreman know what’s going on. This is in the Permian

@ny I really don’t think I will ever be fired since I’m one of the few people willing to work at this company.
@ny it was just about a co-worker committing the mu---r of his wife and then ki-ling himself so that makes 3 su----es in Carlsbad in the last year or so.
@kw bro got fired, he’s not gonna reply
So, what was the meeting all about?
Price of oil is too low to sustain current operating costs. You figure it out for on there. The Company highly values it's office staff to tick development boxes, overkill supervision, etc. Those jobs won't change much. Welcome to Exxon
@dk I take it you’re a bitter, disgruntled, blue-collar type who didn’t go to a college and was relegated to earning a living by performing manual labor.
Some of us make better choices, some of us are just more fortunate. Sorry/not-sorry.
Let me assure you that mental work is work, and it’s paid as well as it is because it’s highly valuable. When was the last time you generated $100M in intellectual property for an F5+ company? It’s probably been a while.
That pipe isn’t going to hammer itself, better get back to sweating there big fella.
And yes, I WFH.
@df I take it you are one of the worthless people that work from home or work in an office doing nothing all day. I really feel the company could get rid of 90% of the office personnel and be fine.
During covid the company studied the people working from home and found they were working an hour and 17 minutes a day. Sounds like a bunch of wasted money on people that are pretty worthless.
@b1 thanks for posting that, your posts reminded me how many d-mbasses work in EM, esp Uncon
@ay Bosses don’t think in those terms. All they care about is cost-cutting to appear profitable. From their POV, they can just kick the remaining workload to the people they haven’t fired and/or bring in cheaper, less skilled workers. These people don’t give AF.
@b0 I work in a group that actually works so there’s really no way the company can get rid of us. The only people that are really not needed are the people in the office or people that work from home.
@OP the Monday meeting is only for groups that are being dissolved. You will unemployed soon.
@ay truth. It’s most likely about the re-org that’s happening. Most groups have already been adding employees.
@a5 I don’t think they can get rid of any field employees in the Permian since we are understaffed already and they have a really difficult time getting anyone that wants to work in this he**hole.
Outsourcing more to managed service providers? Seems to be the way things are going, even for tasks considered core activities in the past.
@OP Start applying for jobs right now if you haven’t been already.
