67 employees being relieved from their post tomorrow. It's official
Competence
You can count on your fingers the number of competent people in that land dept in PA. Bad hiring and HR acting on lame complaints. Don't like some in the Rosetta group? Send them to Canonsburgh
How do I "volunteer" for this layoff? Genuinely asking.
In a tricky situation. I have been reassured that I will be safe from these layoffs, but is there a way to delicately volunteer to be cut? I have great relationships with my bosses and peers, but I'm just ready to move on. Obviously I would want to... — read more
My Prediction
no rosetta people will be laid off
Best company in my 10 years in the Oil and Gas industry
I've worked for three different companies in the last 10, and Noble has been hands down the best. They have helped me develop by giving me opportunities, provided for my family, and all though there are areas that need improving there is no such... — read more
Thank you Noble
I would like to thank Noble Energy instead of bad mouthing them like so many others on this post have. Noble pays their employees a good wage and tries to develop a work life balance with programs like half day Fridays and a generous vacation policy... — read more
Defectors to Bonanza creek
Remember at the beginning of the year when quite a few people left Noble in Greeley for Bonanza creek? https://www.thelayoff.com/bonanza-creek-energy/post/4767162113720320#replies
Fresh Rumor
I'm hearing that Canonsburg and Denver will be the hardest hit again by far. No news on numbers or percentages but it's supposed to be much worse than last time. Anyone else hear something? Please no trolls, this is a serious issue.
Promotions
Everyone wants a promotion in Canonsburg because they see it means they get more money and less work and authority to make life hard on others. Power trips
Hold everyone accountable
Leaders should establish expectations and then ALL EMPLOYEES which includes the smokers, golfers, fantasy leaguers, talkers, and constant complainers need to stop ridiculing everyone else and hold themselves accountable for the companies success... — read more
Hold management accountable
What Still Standing says is true, unfortunate but true. Susan and nearly everyone of her managers are incompetent and the few that aren't habitually fail to speak up. Susan and her direct reports viciously enforce conformity. No ideas other than... — read more
So what will Noble's next big blunder be?
Sanctioning Carmen/Diega? Another dry hole in the Falklands? Expensive non productive seismic program in Gabon? Another string of useless wells in their Yoyo block? More wells in their Nevada play? The list is endless
Get rid of the bad managers this time.
I've been in this industry for over twenty years and have worked for several companies in that time. Never have I worked at a company with so many bad managers in one place. The culture of a company typically comes from the top. What is displayed at... — read more
Cut off on changing exemptions
Anyone else cut off from modifying exemptions on Oracle?
A Sad pre-Holiday Tale
3 days before the Earnings Call- And up in the Towers, The VPs and King David Are counting the hours! They've called in the Doctors Who master the Spin! “We'll need a good face to put on- For the mess we are in!’ Cheetah and Humpback were dry, But... — read more
Admins - thank you for cleaning our board
I think they nuked dozens of messages that were polluting this board. It was probably one click for them and the person who spent all that time creating trolling comments and messages probably spent hours doing it. What can I tell you, sometimes... — read more
Putt Update
How is our buddy Putt doing? You guys haven't given us an update in a few days.
At this point, we all know Noble sucks.
No one is reading your "Noble is incompetent" posts anymore. We know. Does anyone have any news of value regarding layoffs?
Incompetent IT middle and upper management.
The managers in IT (Houston and Denver) is not qualified for their position. The director and vp is a total joke! They have no idea what's going on in their own department, just likes playing politics, BS GAP and BS Breakthrough Thinking. Here's a... — read more
Layoff details. What are you hearing Denver, Greeley, Cannonsburg?
Denver, you have relocate to Houston offers? Anyone actually shown the door yet?
God still rules.
About this layoff at Noble… We have to remember that God is still in control. This is not to say that bad things won't happen to any or all of us working here at Noble. No employee is perfect...no manager is perfect...no company is perfect. I am... — read more
Paying the BRONCOS
Noble is paying the Broncos big big bucks for advertising the Noble logo in their stadium! We had a meeting on it.
Compay has no management
I got laid off around my son's birthday. No notice. Alot of valued employees were let go and when I got laid off an investigation was going on about discrimination. It's funny how they let go of everyone who could attest for it. And a few days before... — read more
Who? Where? Deep cuts
Who will be most affected? Where? Houston, Denver, PA, other? Deep cuts... What is that suppose to mean? Close offices? Right before Holidays families losing their jobs. Stinks
To Management and Board
Let us begin to be honest with each other. Revamp your middle management before it us too late. Start there and most of your problems will begin to disappear. Get someone (NOT MTG) to reorganize and establish procedures. You have no idea how much... — read more
Managing perceptions: at Noble reality isn't relevant.
The only thing this executive team excels at is manipulating the image. They are very good at presenting the illusion of a vibrant midsize E&P company, at least to the stock market. Fancy office complex, presence in all the trendy basins... — read more
Layoffs started
Well it has begun...they have started to layoff in the HR department so next is everyone else...just like last round :(
Bad hires will take company down for everyone
Bad management is its own worst enemy. Former managers hired buddies with no talent. He's gone but buddies still there and mucking everything up. WHY?? What are we scared of? Why does HR listen to crap complaints? Really?
Are more experienced staff being targeted
What will happen to those over 50? 55? 60?
Same same

if bad managers and some HR are not canned, there is little hope for company
Bad managers at all levels. These are the ones making bad hires and bad reviews. Does company want this to turn around? We will soon know. Keep the same managers and you keep the same problems. Clean house on HR too. And stop already with guards... — read more

Two words...
"GARBAGE COMPANY"
Falklands is a bust
Per the press release. Another couple hundred million down the drain.
Canonsburg. Move it or lose it
Mistakes and laziness are the norm. Nobody to train and Nobody with any authority to review who knows whether work is right or wrong. Management means you don't have to know what you are doing. . just play golf and go to lunch and games Half the... — read more
