So, they had a Downhill, oops, TOWNHALL in PA a week ago, and not one word from the HOUSTON-BASED boss on layoffs! 5 days later, the bomb is dropped! To add insult to injury, MR. STOVER conducted a meeting at the Ivory Towers yesterday and personally... — read more 

lots are tired of being passed over for promotions because there would be no one to do the real work. Get some mgrs who know what the _ they are doing. We have a bunch of mop heads who won't work now

We never heard the executives credit past Noble "successes" on market upticks, stop blaming the market now for your failures. Management gets paid big bucks to think ahead and plan for a variable market. Clearly they didn't do their jobs. Stop making... — read more 

Well we just got the notice that reductions are going to happen. Two in one year. I think the only company in our peer group to have layoffs.

I heard a reorganization is coming? Anyone have any credible information on which groups will be affected or when they plan on rolling this out?

Humpback will be another dry hole. Internationally Noble has drilled 5 dry holes now, don't forget Madison in GOM too, Lots of breakthrough thinking there and the NO ventures group not able to deliver anything viable. In any other company the folks... — read more 

FOGL's press release from last week sounds not so promising. http://en.mercopress.com/2015/10/17/falklands-southeast-exploratory-well-has-found-oil-and-gas-shows-says-fogl

I heard recently that some of the lowest form of life mangers at Noble had gone through peoples emails in order to find enough dirt on them and then run to HR in order to impact their ranking before the first cull back in April. Things like talking... — read more 

Is there anyone who was in the town hall meeting think that budget had even the most remote chance of being achievable?

HR on the prowl 👀

Look at XOM buying XTO, COP buying Burlington and now the Noble purchase of Rosetta. None of these acquisitions will pay out. Gas prices went into free fall after XOM bought XTO. COP bought Burlington for the natural gas based assets. Neither company... — read more 

word on the street is that a reorg is coming, consolidation among business units - on the top of the list is combining Permian assets and Eagle Ford assets into one TX BU which will be more streamlined. Hence half of the people will be given a golden... — read more 

Lets face it, $45 oil sucks, activity has slowed down and it is a new paradigm. Bonuses will suck or be nonexistent no matter who you work for. And yes, our peers are not laying off as often or as much. Noble over hired and that is a fact. With lower... — read more 

A big majority of companies including Exxon, Anadarko, Apache arent publicly calling them layoffs just removing some excess low perfoming fat.

The Board had a meeting today. That's all

Even more funny when they come from those blasting the posters for being lazy and not working hard enough. People in glass houses...

Is there anyone that is happy at Noble anymore?

A friend of mine used to work at Rosetta and said that during the boom, Rosetta was hiring anyone with a pulse. Rosetta put guys in engineering positions without engineering degrees because "no real engineering" was happening. Apparently, Rosetta... — read more 

Apparently they feel they don't have enough control in the office so they've come here to play games.

I hear it will happen sometime between now and sometime in the future, or possibly not.

I'm hearing more and more rumblings that there will be an announcement in the coming days/weeks regarding another round of layoffs. This is especially frustrating/angering considering the last few months every time Chip and Mark have talked to Denver... — read more 

No one builds oil companies like me! It will be the BEST! HUUUUUGE!

Word is, it is happening again. Heads up.

Oil is around $50 now, we can all rest easy and delete the previous posts.

Thank you Noble for the paid vacation. After 6 months of your generosity I have a new job with a $50K uplift in base pay from what you were paying me and I don't have to listen to the GAP drivel ala Susan et al. Another dry hole in West Africa... — read more 

enough already with the Noble bashing...which does not help anyone - does anyone have any insight or helpful information concerning potential cutbacks? times are tough and would like to know what the everyone is hearing across the company
