@L1kc0Aa-9qlg hint! You're surviving because you're making much less than your peers.

SLB management always claimed that this company is one of the world's best run company with the slogan of "people are our best asset". Is this really the world's best run company? Also, you just throw away your best asset?

It's just an oil service company what do you expect. They're all the same.

Right now, to SLB management and transformation team, everybody is just a number and cost to get rid of. Especially, they'd love to kick out senior people with no management role. It's deplorable that SLB degraded itself to this level.

It's all relative to the seniority. If >= 13 years? Wait for the axe and collect the entire package.

University of Southern California has plenty of online degrees to look busy at the computer and they very good to refresh a resume before getting the boot.

Actually I'm surprised that not so many people are getting another masters in this way.

advice from experienced - if your making 6 figures, s--- it dry, make them let you go. I just wouldn't worry about it anymore, at the end of the day you did the best you could.
