Thread regarding Imperial Oil Limited layoffs

New Imperial job postings in Calgary starting to go up

A bunch of new job postings just went up for Kearl roles in Calgary with requirement to move to Edmonton in 2028. This is to backfill the high number of roles that will be vacant due to high number of not mobiles/declines. This is just the beginning. Word on the street is around 25% of roles in Edmonton still haven't been accepted. This is the plan folks, fill all these roles with new hires.

The 25% vacancy are a result of certain departments/teams being way short on acceptances. Unfortunately for those who haven't got offers at this point, it likely means the company doesn't think you have the required skills for these vacant roles.

The fact that they are already having to hire for key technical roles reinforces that this was a bad decision from the start. Meanwhile, lots of non-optimal job fits, and I'm pretty sure there's a lot more departures going to happen before the final move. Lots of people not seeing a future with the company.

And perhaps not coincidentally, RBC has downgraded IMO to "Underperform" citing valuation and the risk of losing key staff through the transformation @OP

It will be so funny if the new hire also quits when moving time comes
