Thread regarding Noble Energy Inc. layoffs

I have worked for Noble for a little more than five years. For four years and nine months it has been a pretty good place to work. The past three months have been rather difficult. No place is perfect and there are issues at Noble.. just like everywhere. Not much you do about it at this point. If you work in this industry understand that this part of the scenario. This industry over hires when times are good and then over fires when times are bad. It is a boom and bust industry. Best to understand this and if it does not suit you then find another career path. You are going to be laid off in this business. For those of you hoping Noble would be any different then sorry.
