Not O&G but pretty much unemployed as of this week, weakening USD and no vehicle market correction means nothing is buyable for us to export.

Not oil and gas but petrochemical. We a small round of layoffs at our canadian plant with more coming globally. Price/demand of Methanol in the tank for the foreseeable future.
Tuesday and Thursday for Husky folks, good luck to all!
Conoco also moving 100 field staff to Calgary and laying 25 off over the next 2 weeks.
Is there a reason its always a Tuesday or Thursday - I thought because they didn't want to fire people on a Friday was something to do with suicide but I'm sure its more to do with the fact people are more likely to be in the office on Tuesday/Wednesday/Thursday.
One of my wife's friends is trying to avoid the layoffs by just taking vacation this week. I'm also unsure what they do if they want to layoff a person while on vacation.
Rookie mistake. Never take vacation if you are getting laid off.
:rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:
Im sorry but if she thinks that she can avoid a layoff by taking vacation, then she is definitely on the list.
Vacation always at the approval of a supervisor so they would not approve the vacation or do it over the phone. If she was already on vacation they would just revoke IT privileges and cancel access. She would have the unpleasant day when she returned and a letter waiting with HR.
The correct way to do this is get knocked up. But the timing is way harder to nail.
That may save you from round 1 because it's a hurdle/PR nightmare. But it won't save you indefinitely.
My cousin-in-law (not these companies but a O&G service company regardless) is coming off mat leave in a month. The lack of communication about her return to work seem ominous.
But not Wednesdays...
I believe I read something about a year ago that they changed a regulation and that you could lay off during maternity leave now. Maternity leave saved the wife during the first big round of the current long downturn.
Seems straight forward.Quote:
Termination of employment
No employer may terminate the employment of, or lay off an employee solely because the employee is entitled to or has started maternity or parental leave. Termination of employment may occur if:
the employer suspends or discontinues the business; in this case, the employer must reinstate the employee if the business starts up again within 52 weeks after their leave ends, or
the reason for the termination is unrelated to the employee requesting or taking the leave
The bigger question is why is your wife's friend so fucking dumb? Lol.
Or maybe you are telling us a story that isn't 100% true and she planned vacation not strictly because of layoffs.
