#layoffs

Layoffs happening at field camp today!!!
2 frac crews let go.

Mergee with a Private Equity Firm! That to me means lay off and draining what's left after the BP Subsea contact termination! We're all sc--wed!

Heard some folks are getting whacked starting tomorrow.

Ceremonies have started..

Has there been any layoffs and if so, what depts.?

A Message from Andy Obert: SVP Talent Acquisition

Team,

As you know well, the macroeconomic environment remains volatile and complex. As a result, we’ve reduced hiring across the company in line with our current revenue and our near-term growth aspirations.

Recruiting top talent remains a critical capability for long-term growth; however, we must take decisive action to realign Talent Acquisition’s capacity with Gartner’s current hiring plans.

As a result, we have made the decision to eliminate some roles in TA. Impacted associates will be notified today, 30 September.

I will be in touch later today once this process has been completed.

Today will be challenging for all of us. Thank you for being considerate and supportive of each other.

Andy

Probably multiple locations and sectors including technology may be impacted not just HCOL

Was there an announcement I miss? Or is it just speculation?

If one were to ask to be put on the “list” how long do you think it would take from the ask to the axe?

Watch out. More stealth layoffs in the pursuit of money. Iridium used to stand for something

New head ceo and regional vice presidents since the last wave all got kicked to the curb at the same time. Naturally, they want to make an impact on the bottom line quickly, so they are going the basic mba bro route, by announcing that 10% of the company will be laid off in the coming months. Merry Xmas everybody! Remember… they’re not taking this lightly and it’s a tough decision, but what is a poor CEO to do?

Just got my notice of required training for workplace violence. This usually goes out right before layoffs.

Didn’t Whelan say in the last forum that he and Rich are friends outside of work. Well Rich was named the Canadian business man of the year by some bullsh-t organization, after he massacred 3k jobs at Suncor.

This is just another Rich inspired move. This guy is just a little puppet to DW and Kruger.

Betrayal at Home Imperial Oil Offshores Canadian Jobs After Exploiting Resources
After decades of degrading Canada’s environment, draining communities, and profiting from our natural resources, Imperial Oil,under the control of its U.S. parent giant, is shipping 20% jobs to India

Coming soon…….

Should be the title of the press release.

Most of the analysis and decisions were led by ExxonMobil employees in Houston and elsewhere in the world. Imperial despite being an independent publicly traded company was puppeteered by its American masters.

This should be headline news everywhere in Canada tonight. But instead, given it doesn’t affect Ontario or Quebec it will be swept under the rug.

What happened to elbows up?

Imperial just spent a ton of money on relocations, moving planners, operations leads, managers, etc to Calgary. They even moved the mine dispatch and control room to Calgary.

It has long been suspected that they have been trying to reduce headcount enough to sell Kearl (only two possible companies).

Do you think they are going to spend money to relocate a big chunk of people twice?

Plus they built QP nit all that long ago but now they are building another building at Strathcona?

I would bet money that once initial headcount reductions are done they are in a position to close on a pending sale of Kearl. Everyone there will be grateful their new employer isn’t moving them to Edmonton. They carry on with the plan and the company is even smaller.

Another domino is falling here. Logically something is missing or this is one of the worst played downsizing events in history.

Amidst todays news, just wanted to pass this along. All of us former employees are with you in spirit. There's so much information and news to digest and a massive human element to all this. Just remember, Imperial hires fantastic people, regardless of what specific outcomes are, we all hope things work out for everyone individually. Take care

It would interested to ask Lyons how will Fiserv innovate with all the layoffs and loss of simple technical and product knowledge that his predecessor let go to pump and dump the stock price.

Sick of constantly getting edged by this site with no payoff.

Kaiser nurses picket in Vallejo over layoffs, staffing, and AI

Nurses rallied outside Kaiser’s Vallejo facility, citing layoffs, staffing shortages, and concerns about AI tools such as virtual sitter programs. A recent announcement to lay off 42 nurses in San Rafael heightened fears of broader cuts.

With a potential Michigan government shutdown approaching, state employees have not received clarity on temporary or permanent layoffs, unlike prior near shutdowns. Union leaders call for humane notice while leaders work toward a budget deal.

Rule changes on temporary layoffs under the Michigan Civil Service Commission reduce notice obligations for short duration furloughs, increasing uncertainty across agencies and public services.

Reynolds School District weighs cuts to avoid midyear layoffs

Oregon employers have cut more than 11,000 jobs since 2024, matching Great Recession levels. Roseburg Forest Products is closing its hardwood plant in Dillard, eliminating 107 positions, while large employers like Intel and UPS have trimmed headcount across the Portland area.

Companies and locations: Intel, UPS, Wells Fargo, Albertsons, Fred Meyer, Roseburg Forest Products - Dillard OR, statewide Oregon - Portland metro, Astoria, Baker City, Milwaukie, Medford

Layoffs are spread statewide, but Portland sees the largest share. Despite the cuts, the state unemployment rate near 5.0 percent suggests many workers have found new roles, though specialized industries and smaller communities face mounting challenges.

The Polynesian Cultural Center in Laie, Hawaii will lay off 10 percent of its full time staff, about 15 to 25 employees, citing a tourism downturn and reduced attendance. Notices indicate employment ends Sept 30, 2025.

Regional forecasts point to a mild recession in Hawaii with declining visitor arrivals and spending, adding pressure on attractions like PCC. Some affected staff could be rehired if visitor volumes rebound.
