Who can provide some clarity on the rumored layoffs this week?

E&P got the ax big time as they head in a more BG centric direction. But since management over subscribed to the potential early retirement package it was pulled. Why pAy early retirement if you drive morale so low people quit on there own. It’s a win win. Get rid of locals to make room for expats at no additional cost to the company. Nice.
Why on earth would someone succumb to paid hunting trips as an enticement to hire a company for their services? Isn't that against company policy?

Security officers were instructed to watch the elevators, but it had nothing to do with the reorg. Surely you didn't think Corporate Security was watching the elevators? The Corporate Security Directors were too busy playing golf and scheduling more vendor paid hunting trips, they don't have time to watch elevators.
Which offices/departments?
Layoffs have completed!
From Conoco site:
The Sound of Silence
Hello layoffs, my old friend
It's time to talk 'bout you again
Management's vision of who they're keeping
Surely the cuts will be sweeping
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of silence
To those above it all is known
But to us no clues are shown
Our fearless leader looks like Champ
Whammy! He has us in a prison camp
Not knowing exactly which ones of us he will smite
Has us in fright
Because the sound of silence
We all fear that they will chainsaw
A half thousand jobs, maybe more
Bosses talking without speaking
Workers hearing without listening
We wrote this song that voices never share
Still no one dared
Disturb the sound of silence
Fools, said I, you do not know
Silence like a cancer grows
Hear my words that I might teach you
Take my arms that I might reach you
But my words, like silent raindrops fell
And echoed in the wells of silence
And the people bowed and prayed
That off they will be not laid
And the sign flashed out its warning
That this company's transforming
And the sign said, the words of the prophets are written on thelayoff.com walls
And bathroom stalls
And whispered in the sounds of silence
The day is progressing. Clock is ticking. Security is watching where? Any pink papers flying?
It’s happening today - Security is watching the elevators!!!
OK, nope. This is not just a re-org, This is a major shift going down.
People sitting in their offices waiting for that knock on your door, please know that you have friends and colleagues out here in Midland thinking about you, and we’re all hoping this is just an announcement of the reorganization. Hang in there!
