SLB is being a coward and stingy corporation this year. They are putting people on unpaid leave in order to force them to resign by themselves so SLB do not have to pay them a single cent. Just retrench them and give them the BSS package!

I'm wondering if there have been many layoffs at these two campuses yet? If so, what departments have been affected?
