Thread regarding Cenovus Energy layoffs

The workforce plan is nothing but a steady stream of layoffs. Consolidating work to central points or “Centers of Excellence” will eliminate positions at the assets, which has just started ramping up.

The toxic wicked witch running planinng must be all over this board and taking things down. For the amsake of organizational mental health please exit this narcissist.

How does it go unchecked that she has scared off or fired most of the talent and has to promote those left or import contractors to get anyone to consider putting up with her.

Its the regions dragging us down, we have some of the worse performing assets in US and atlantic canada. Just sell them already.

Scary thing is that the more work centralized to Calgary the worse things get financially. No one stays in a job for very long there - constant churn, bureaucracy and ridiculous processes to get any little change made or improvement done. How can you function like that? The world is passing you by why you create more documents then anyone could read in a lifetime. Such a lack of business acumen and agility is failure!! Give up the control! Your ki-ling your company!

They are in the process of signing a contract to outsource Accounting, finance, procurement and IT functions to 3rd party offshore for a large savings to the company. This will result in massive layoff waves of hourly and salary professionals in these functions. That is the reason for stopping the CORE implementation. They don’t need to do it now. They can run all separate instances and the offshore analysts can cheaply manage data as if they had same instances of SAP.

Can confirm layoffs happened last week, unfortunately about 20 full time Cenovus employees were laid off in my area of the business… including a manager and employees with 18+ years with the company. Myself included.

Maybe a whole bunch coming with Core program annoucement?

Word is "Core never sleeps" - its a full shift to burn 5 mil a week!

How many?
