The current refinery building doesnt have space to accomodate all engineers from QP.
Have they already started construction for the new building across the street of the refinery?
Any updates?

Imperial recently moved technical folks to one building and abruptly shut down water supply for 3 days for maintenance wo prior notifications or plans. Confession i didnt wiped my hands and handshook and patted everyone during the time.
Strathcona county development permit approval website lists nothing about a campus build… still need a permit to build!
@rk You’re absolutely right. Why pour money into a new building when they can just cram employees into trailers? They already know layoffs are coming in 2–3 years, so of course they won’t waste a cent on another QP‑style white elephant. This company has made it clear: employees don’t matter, contractors will replace them, and comfort isn’t even part of the conversation.
India is the future. Rather than invest in an office building, you should just build some trailers to temporarily house employees who will be laid off in 3-5 years. Ultimately there will just be field operators at the plants and refineries. Everything else will be India based support or Indian expats in Canada. I know it hurts… but there isn’t really anything you can do about it. Any roles India can’t fill will be Houston based.
They’ve started earth work, no building yet.
If there aren't enough desks with the huge attrition, I'm sure JW and EM can put their heads together to find a solution! Layoffs and asset sales will continue until everyone can fit.
Not all are going to be around anymore.
