Big blue is selling off

Got word this morning (Non-Big blue source that works for buyer company) that Schlumberger is selling off. Don’t know all the details yet, but it’s more than done already. Now it’s down to dotting I’s and crossing T’s.

Save all your documents if you want to fight

Ex-employees return as contractors

Is it legal to release employees and turn around and make them an offer to come back as a contractor (less pay and no benefits)? Asking for a friend. This may or may not be happening in OneStim (hypothetically ;))
