Thread regarding CGG Veritas layoffs

Protection of Jobs in France

− confirmed that pursuant to the draft safeguard plan and in light of the underlying market assumptions of its Business Plan, no social or industrial restructuring is contemplated in France, it being noted that its strategic transformation plan, whose implementation was completed by the end of 2016, has already led to the reduction of the group’s workforce by half as compared to the end of 2013; more precisely, unless otherwise authorized by the Commercial Court of Paris, the Company undertook to refrain from any redundancy plan in France until December 31, 2019 and to maintain, and to do what is necessary for the French law subsidiaries it controls within the meaning of article L.233-3 of the French Commercial Code to maintain the decision centers currently located in France, including the Company’s registered office until December 31, 2022;

In other words, over the past 4 years, CGG has reduced its global workforce by half in order to protect jobs and decision centers in France.

""protection of french employees has been well documented in the in these posts.""

Wouldn't say that it was well-documented in these posts. Would say that maybe there were some rumours posted about protecting French union jobs. The original quote is taken directly from the CGG website, which I would call "documented", albeit well buried.

What I find troubling is that CGG touts its diversity on one hand :

"We come from all parts of the world. Diverse backgrounds and educations. Each of us brings

our own perspective that adds to the collective experience...."

yet will fail to maintain it when the going gets tough.

But, as most of the money coming in is American (correct if I'm wrong?), it is just delaying the inevitable to post-2019 and post-2022. Just a stay of execution for Massy, that's all.

So don't expect CGG to make much money until then.

The restructuring has meant many promotions of unqualified french employees. Often with a sense of entitlement and arrogance. If you are not french, too bad for vous.
