Thread regarding Imperial Oil Limited layoffs

Over/under on 2028 move?

Will hq actually move to Edmonton or will they chicken out?

And if move, who says delayed beyond 2028?

Sorry to disappoint, but we'd rather put you in mouldy building, expose you to spores "Last of Us" style. Maybe zombies will be a great catalyst for workforce transformation.
Alternatively,perhaps docking you near HF cloud zone so that all calcium ion your plasma dropped out and you start having heart attack or seizure.
As for premium offering, we'd love to house you near blast zone radius, so you get to see fireworks from up and close before you finally go #WAEM #WINNING

IOL won't risk looking foolish to the investors and EM. I would bet on the move going ahead one way or another.

They're going to dig in their heels and stick with the plan. If facilities are delayed further, they'll probably figure out some temporary options and cram folks into trailers or some other temporary solution. It's going to be less effective for many roles, but Edmonton is a done deal for those who aren't resigning before the move.

@ar That’s true… just like their brilliant decision to sink $$$M in building this fancy QP campus and then dragged everyone from downtown. And just over 10 years of occupancy, they’ve decided to sell this campus at a loss and forcing everyone to move yet again. But this time, they’re laying off ~900 employees to claw back the damage. A textbook white elephant!

They are too stubborn and have too much pride to reverse a bad decision, especially once it has been communicated publicly. They cannot reverse it or go back.
