Remaining employees to form a Union.

If the remaining employees were smart they would form a Union. It would be a wonderful way to let management know that you are fed up with being terrorized by constant lay offs .

Slow clap for our CEO (Jon or Alex??)

So congratulations to those that made the cut. Now you get to sit around and wait for more cuts in March. I really like looking around and seeing directors with three leads reporting to them and multiple managers or VPs where there was one before... — read more

Reason for the layoff timing

I believe that the reason for spreading the layoffs over this longer period is that the organization doesn't have the cash to pay everyone off at the same time. I know the severance offered to Suncor is similar and they are paying it out monthly... — read more

Not Even Started Yet!

That’s right. HR was not ready today and behind schedule, so they had to push the majority of the plan to layoff people to March. I heard there were only 100-200 people today across both companies. More like a warm up Finance was not really... — read more 

Who decides who goes and who stays?

Who decides who goes and who stays? The supervisor says he didn't know it was happening. How could he not. 5 field people in the same position and 1 gets canned. And the boss says he had no part in the decision.

So long Farewell Aufwiedersehn Goodnight

My time with Cenovus has come to an end, and I honestly could not feel more blessed by the opportunities that I had in joining the organization or the generosity they showed in my exit. It has been a fun ride, and I wish nothing but success for those... — read more

Which groups

So which groups are done with the layoffs today?

Talent Profiles

Remember when the entire workforce was urged to fill in every field in the Talent profile late in 2020. Unless the senior leaders are putting in 100 hour weeks dedicated to the review and simultaneously conversing with their counterparts in the... — read more

Assets

Any ideas/rumors on what assets will be sold?

More Fat

I hope Cenovus leadership is privy to the study Husky commissioned by HRG (High Reliability Group) a few years ago. They identified many structural problems within Husky, a few recommendations were carried out by Husky but many more went ignored. — read more

Husky Fat

I agree, Husky has some fat to trim. How about we cut out "Personal Use Vehicles" and save a few dollars and jobs. That's right, Husky managers have unlimited use of company trucks. Unlimited mileage, gas and a new vehicle every 150000 km. Anyone... — read more

So, who are we cutting now?

After 8 or 9 rounds of cuts... Assuming we've eliminated all folks with performance issues... Assuming we've eliminated all folks that were mediocre... Who are we cutting now?

Get ready for another useless announcement

I am preparing myself for another dumb announcement this week which will say what we’ve already been told. My bet we will be told layoffs are next week and that you sit at your computer and wait for a call on Teams or Skype. Which is a pretty sure... — read more

Safety & Operations Tech Services Townhall - Did Jon McKenzie (COO) call himself the new CEO of the new Cenovus?

I was unable to dial into the Safety and Operations Tech Services townhall on Thursday. So, I just finished listening to the recorded townhall where John McKenzie (the COO) introduced himself. Jon seemed to introduce himself as the new CEO of the new... — read more 

I just saw this and grrrr

I was watching the town hall again and I believe it was Alex that mentioned that if a manager is no longer needed in their current role they may be given the option to take over another role that would have gone to one of their direct reports. So in... — read more

So now we sit at home for the next two weeks “working” and waiting for the verdict and our future to be decided. No matter what they say this will not be merit based as fundamentally each group is given a budget and they have to cut people until... — read more

Cubicles

Here I thought cubicles at Husky were tiny, your’s are ridiculously tiny.

What does that mean?

Please explain what you mean by diversity and inclusion being used to decide who gets a role. If all things are equal will someone’s race or gender decide who gets the role. This might be controversial but I don’t understand what you mean by... — read more
