I thought things were going to slow down in IT (contract) but the opposite has been the case?? When can I get some time off??
Registered User
Yes, and yes. O&G service sector here as well. Although my division is fairly safe IMO.

Lots of layoffs at mod yards but the projects my company is on are still going strong with 0 layoffs. However, I was laid off today so I can start school on Monday.

No one is going to relocate for a tech support or CSR job.Originally posted by spikerS
yeah, but they were not "laid off" they were offered relocation packages I thought. I was reading they were offered $7500 in moving expenses to move to one of the other cities...
Even field provisioning was eliminated in calgary
They actually did some 'restructuring' too. Always happens this time of year

Yes and yes....
O&G service sector.... In a division that technically should be a lot more stable however every single PSL needs to participate in layoffs.... even if it doesn't make any sense.
An old co-worker of mine was laid off this week.... 20 years of experience of which 15 were at this company.

One week after record bonus, you seem to have a complete different outlook.Originally posted by Cos
Yeah I feel like that is what we're about to do too. You need people around in our world but besides the lineman technically no one is safe.
We shaved about 15% head counts so far. And 1/4 of that is middle management. End isn't in sight, I can see another 10% in the next 6 months. The problem is forecast is way off and Calgary staff is too expensive to be reused compared to other regions. If you are not billing, you are leaving.
IT spending is going to be tight for a while.
It depends on the sector. A few is still hot and there are still many in flight projects to finish. But just like o&g, no new spending mean overall there are definitely way less work and a few more people available.Originally posted by revelations

But just like 2009, only the weaker links are being laid off right now.

Yes and yes, oilfield services. Expecting a round at the end of each month going into breakup.
Didn't realize how many of us work on the service side around here!
Registered User
Yes and Yes
Our company (not O&G at all) has laid off some field staff that survey residential lots, but the scale is minor at the moment. Residential home builders are not buying new lots because there are just not a lot of buyers, so business goes down as a result. Not a big surprise.
Registered User
A finisher I know seem to have about 30-40% down on business compare to 2014. But he doesn't mind the slow down at all as 2013 was way too crazy.Originally posted by cloud7

Yes and No. O&G Midstream and services. My division is very safe but they sent out a letter this week explaining a few cost cutting measures. There was a few layoffs (All in the US) and the execs all took a paycut but other than that we're seemingly fine, at least for the rest of 2015

Mmmmm, I think we may work at the same company at the very least or even the same dept.
Was the letter sent out Thursday evening by chance?
