They seem to be scared 24/7 of losing their jobs. I see people constantly treated like cr-p who don't want to do anything about it just so they don't "rock the boat." This is not even a newer, COVID-19 related development. I've been here for a little... — read more

What are the salary ranges/levels at Cenovus
I am curious to know
Goodbye !!
I just received an offer letter today!. Goodbye Cenovus !!!!
Bullied
Does anyone else get bullied for not turning on the camera or having the fake background on. Not everyone lives in a nice place.
Brace for the layoffs beginning in 2 WEEKS
Its coming fast.. They will be swift at cleaning up this round. Just in time to announce first 1/2 results.. The lucky ones might get 2 weeks per year is the word in HR
How low will it go?
How low will the stock price go? 5 bucks probably. The new laughing stock of the energy industry.
What things would you not want to repeat in the next company?
There is no ideal company and all those at the top did not get there to make the world a better place to live, but to get the most out for themselves. I got an offer from a company that offers better benefits. Apparently the atmosphere in the... — read more
To survive = to prolong agony
It means nothing to me anymore even if I survive another round of layoffs. I will survive and then I will be anxious again in a few months. I know it's not much better in other companies in the industry, but this is too much.... I used to be happy... — read more
20 percent bonus for lay off targets
AP promised everyone a 20 percent bonus on top of their regular bonus for hitting layoff and cost cutting targets. Make no mistake. The company is going to make billions this year and leadership is going to be popping champagne and building fancy... — read more
Finance
Incredible amount of jobs keep coming up in the finance discipline. I have 3 interviews lined up over the next 2 weeks There is hope.
How have things been since the merger?
I'm a former employee who got cut in the first acquisition-related wave. I'm wondering how is everybody doing post-merger. Have things improved any? Are you still having layoffs? I managed to find work relatively quickly, after about two months, so... — read more
I would love to work for big oil company
I would love to work for big oil company like cenovus. I hear these oil companies pay huge salaries. I have a family member who works for an oil major in Calgary, and he makes very good money as opposed to public sector.

Danger
Told to avoid safety in favor of speed and that we can back fill it later. Get out now before the next incident
I Hate it Here!
Over worked and drowning. This place has become the most miserable place to work. Everyone feels the same way and counting days for job postings to open.
Censorship
The CL Field managers are keeping a close eye on here. Any post about them gets taken down.
The IEA just announced the want no new oil and gas drilling
See how Cenovus responds to the IEA!! Sounds like Alberta will turn into Newfoundland when they shut down the fisheries!!
The next 700!!
A long line of people with their hands up for next layoff.
What helped you the most to find a new job?
Experience, skills, persistence and number of applications sent, willingness to change industry, connections, relocation...? I’m glad to see posts where many are announcing a large departure of people from the company, because that generally means... — read more
Are people going to be honest in the Survey?
I find people are good at talking on sites like this but when it comes to the survey do they step up and actually be honest and tell it like it is? If we want change I believe we need to give honest feedback and let the dust settle where it will. I... — read more
Brainstorming on options for next stage
I'm ready to put Husky to the rear view mirror, but the job hunting process turns out very tough. I prefer to find a same position as what I did before. Nothing pops up. I'm also considering to transfer to hihh-tech sector, but I'm over 50. Is there... — read more
Has everybody been able to find a replacement job?
Out of those who have been out of Cenovus for a few months now, how many do you know who are still looking for work? I'm somewhat encouraged by the fact that all the ones I know already have new jobs. Every one of them. I'm hoping this is the case... — read more
June is right around the corner
How many more positions and good people will be gone next? 700+ from the sounds of it. C is going to lose dozens . So will C.L. The lucky ones got the payout. No guarantees going forward.
Reactive vs proactive
Selling Weyburn was one of many stupid decisions of CVE. Carbon sequestration is key to survival. How many years do you think CVE will last? Yes a refinery was needed but Husky assets?? Stock price is not increasing. The markets know what a lousy... — read more
Only 2/3 of 2100 total layoffs completed
700 more jobs to be cut as well as asset sales!! All this posted today in quarterly results. 2021-2022 will be interesting!! Packages may be reduced as well from golden handshakes in first quarter!!
Did they lose control over staff atrittion?
I know a lot of people who have left lately. Anyone with talent and skillset has already moved to another company long time ago. I don’t even have to know what the attrition rate is, I feel its effects through an increased work load. I wonder if... — read more

Do you often work many more hours than you are paid?
There are more and more rumors about detailed time writing. Try to time write more than 40 hours per week, they will not let you because it is a liability for the company. But you are expected to work way over 40 hours. Exactly! Very often I... — read more
Intent of this site

Pay cuts and time writing
Pay cuts and detailed time writing are expected for most departments moving forward. Possibly outsourcing as well depending on the analysis.
CVE is failing at integration
Heads up Alex, You are failing at integration. Plain simple clear no BS you are failing. Husky has taken over CVE teams and anything branded or done in a Cenovus way is working or bad. Your staff are angry and have no one to talk to as we are run by... — read more
Husky taking control of IT
Is it fair to assume the new CIO will get rid of Cenovus IT leaders? JH seems to be a nice guy but also weak
Cenovus CIO "retires" suddenly?
I've got a girlfriend who works in IT who told me that the CIO just 'retired' out of the blue today. Guess he was a 25+ year career manager who just upped and "retired" without any notice? What the f**k is going on in management these days?
Those who missed out on the GOLDEN HANDSHAKES!!
The lucky ones are the ones who got packages to go!! Plus qualify for unemployment for 1 year!! The ones who are left have to live in agony never knowing the future.. High work loads and possibly pay cuts coming soon.. Possible areas being sold... — read more
How many people left both Cenovus and this industry?
It is very difficult for me to make a decision to leave after many years spent in this company, but I got a very good job offer in another industry. I would have a hard time deciding to leave Cenovus as well because I don't like new beginnings and I... — read more
