Quite a drop

There was a time when giving your all to this place felt worthwhile
Those days are long gone. The current leadership has made it clear they don't value their team. We have to suffer through constant disrespect, empty promises, and decisions that only benefit the top. Why break your back for executives who wouldn't... — read more
What's the latest on more cuts?
I always get nervous when there’s no chatter about layoffs. It feels like the calm before the storm, and the silence just makes it worse. I hope I’m just worried over nothing, but with this place, you never really know. Especially considering... — read more

So Suncor stock is sitting at a nice $44.94 close price on April 8th. This is about the same price that Suncor stock was at back during the mass layoffs of 2023. Like what a WASTE, all of Rich Krugers efforts are just absolutely wasteful and... — read more

Hey Rich the questions have evolved because the moderators weren’t letting through questions if they weren’t positive. Why the worry about showing the true thoughts of the employees?
In the heat of Freddy, Trump, and America’s attack on Canada where you gonna buy your gas from?
So after Freddy’s attack on Fort McMyurray, on Alberta, on Suncor, and now Trumps attack on Canada where you gonna buy your gas from? For me: Not Petro-Canada or Suncor. Don’t kid yourself, Suncor was ONCE one of Canada’s major oil and gas... — read more
