Paal announced layoffs and interviewees are sitting in HR. Those youngsters are here to take your job.

And still people are worried about losing their job. What did you do all year to improve your situation? Save more? Cut expenses? Found a new job? Sell your house? Sell your car for a more reasonable grocery getter? Nothing?

Seen several find new jobs over the last month. Ditching their career in O&G for other industries. Won't be anyone left to layoff in our location. Good, means I'll be safe.

They are hurting the company by the way they handle the business situations!! If you are putting out there that there is layoffs to be done well get it done!!!

Schlumberger is waiting for everyone to make their 2016 annual US benifits enrollments before the start layoffs. If you choose OAP that are going to lay you off. Pick CHO plan and you are a keeper. So do not worry until after November 20.

Let's hear it from the managers...Yes Or No?...Or are you gonna hide behind your TITLE!!!

Only those with long service were targeted for dismissal. Great to know you work for an employer who values years of sweat and loyalty.

Why not get it all done at once???

They don't have to abide by our US laws it's a foreign company & that's why they lay off people born in the USA first.

Don't misinterpret this–many excellent, well qualified, undeserving folks I have had the opportunity to work with have lost their jobs, However, after taking a big step back and looking at the big picture, I am not certain my decisions would be any... — read more
