guy was impressively hard to remove considering he wasn't exactly large or fighting it that hard. He went full turtle early and stuck with it

I wouldn't say that is heavily targeted.

Apparently there is a pipeline protest scheduled at the show location. Pretty ballsy considering there is a lot of support in Calgary for it.

I'm sure the 12 people that show up will really send a message.

If this works, I think you just invented a new way to find work lol.
Imagine everyone going to a job fair in a T-shirt to get an idea of someone's qualifications. What a great way to network.

Quickly state you are starting a go fund me page (Everyone else seems to do that these days) and maybe get enough to retire

Were you interviewed by the CBC Eyeopener? I just heard a brief interview of someone that sure sounded like it could have been you...

I was interviewed by the by cbc radio. They didn't mention when they were going to use that clip, but yes apparently it played on the eye opener news this morning.

Had my picture taken by a freelancer today who seemed pretty confident it wold appear in the Sun or Herald tomorrow. Was on the background of Global news last night too. Have already lined up one interview based 100% on that shirt. Someone I don't think I would have been able to get in front of otherwise. Pretty pumped about that, but of course, always time for more interviews or meetings. Tell all your friends. . . .

That's awesome. You didn't even have to write "Will suck dick for food" on the shirt.

So far I'm batting 100% using that line so definitely keep it in your back pocket.

Repsol laying off 30 per cent of Canadian staff

Spanish energy giant Repsol confirmed Tuesday it is cutting 30 per cent of its Canadian staff, laying off employees from its downtown Calgary office as well as field locations in Chauvin and Edson, Alberta.

AMANDA STEPHENSON, CALGARY HERALD Updated: June 18, 2019

Repsol, which purchased Calgary-based Talisman Energy for $13 billion in 2015, said the cuts were meant to “ensure the long-term sustainability” of the business. In an emailed statement provided by the company, Repsol said the departing employees are “skilled people who have made strong contributions to our business and we are very sorry to see them go.”

Employees in the Canadian exploration and production and corporate units affected by the reorganization will be informed this week, according to an internal memo seen by Postmedia.

“This will include individuals who will be filling the roles that remain with the organization, those who will be working through a transition period prior to exiting the organization, and those who will exit immediately. Unfortunately, as I already mentioned, there is not a role for everyone,” the memo from Paul Ferneyhough, Repsol’s executive director of North America, said.

Repsol declined to say exactly how many employees will be affected by the cuts. According to its website, the company had 722 employees in Canada as of the end of December.

In 2016, the company said it was reducing its Calgary headcount by 10 to 15 per cent as the result of the oil price downturn.

It was either June 13th or the 18th that it was supposed to come down. I have a pile of friends over there and they were all waiting for it. At least most of the people I know were smart and have a great nest egg so they are almost welcoming a package. I'll have to check in.

A friend of mine was laid off there 3-4 years ago and recieved a year severance.
