Probably not a popular thread but that is ok. No affiliation with CVE management.
As much as you folks want to rag on our new CEO, the board hired him to make the very difficult decisions that Brian never could. He wasn't brought on to be a nice guy and bring back the old country club culture that most of us were accustomed to. He was left with a steaming turd and tasked with turning it into a diamond. It's exactly what Doug Suttles did at Encana when Eresman twiddled his thumbs (did Brian learn it from Randy E?).
Additionally, we work for a CORPORATION not a charity. Even in the very best of times we were just numbers to the company. Cenovus and every other multi-billion dollar company in Calgary are no different than Wal-Mart in their overall objectives. The company doesn't owe us anything and a good many of us need to remember that and stop believing it. Many O&G workers need to get over themselves and realize you are just a numbered rat struggling to get their cheese in the race.
