We recently implemented GRS1 in Baytown and it’s a clusterF. No need to have that many SLS level staff in the organization. There used to be 1 SLS and 1 or 2 DAY FLS and that worked just as fine. Management preaches GRS1 makes us more reliable... — read more

If they just announced 20 percent cuts in Europe where unions are strong and they can't cut as indiscriminately as they can in the U.S., what exactly do they have in store for us? Whatever happens oversees, chances are it's going to be much worse... — read more

Just announced

Anyone know when that is coming? I took the PIL in July, still waiting for the vacation lump sum

They just announced Europe, sounds like 20% overall, some pretty deep cuts with F&L, though. What about the US? Will we hear this week, next week, or sometime after?

How is UOG consolidating? Any feedback on US operations (XTO)?

Seems odd to me that the contact engr and technical folks do not report directly to the Business Team. Understand you need SLS to handle PIP, PADP, but seems inefficient. Don't know what they do most of the day.

If you get a better opportunity to leave XOM for big Tech, would you take it if it mean a 10% pay cut?

Is it just me, or does this entire industry has the same strategy: lay off experienced employees in an attempt to fix issues created by lousy leadership that has no idea what its doing? I know people who work for other O&G companies, and they are... — read more

I know of a few, and I honestly can't see an upside to it. With all the layoffs, if you want to leave isn't it a better idea to wait it out (since chances are you'll end up on one of the lists sooner rather than later) and get a severance? Even if... — read more
