Thread regarding Suncor Energy Inc. layoffs

Advice From A Former Employee

As a former employee of Suncor, I felt compelled to share some advice to those facing termination as part of Workforce Reduction.

Over my career I have been employed by four integrated oil companies. Suncor was by-far the most bureaucratic organization. It was frustrating to work through the layers / departments / silos to progress a project. Then more often-than-not it wouldn’t proceed as we were not competitive with our peers.

If you are selected for termination —> rejoice. You won’t have to attend pointless meetings in person, produce reams of documents that nobody reads anyways, and conform to the whims of your manager.

If you are part of Energy Transformation or Digital Transformation there are better opportunities for you to contribute that at Suncor.

Investors were happy with Mr Clean (Freddy). He better start reviewing Canadian credentials in the next round, not the fake performance reviews done by internal mafias.

Amen! The number of levels to the CEO were among the highest I had ever seen. All of those layers add time and cost to projects. No wonder that we never had good share prices. I even heard there were some teams of workers who only had two or three people on them, with a leader and director.
