I actually just left my company voluntarily. Took an over $30K pay cut to have some less stress and get out of O&G (new company is still impacted, just not as directly). Company I was at (Multi-billion $ public company) had done tons of layoffs and had plans for tons more. I was a director and was pretty sure I was safe, but couldn't handle lying to so many concerned employees anymore. Not only had they done layoffs due to the slow down and were planning more, but they are also looking at outsourcing (and very close to testing). Lots of jobs in Calgary and Edmonton will eventually be in Oklahoma and India. The thought was that AB is just too expensive and people will be unwilling to take big enough pay cuts for where oil is at now so it will be easier to eliminate the positions in AB altogether.
Discussions regarding this with one the the big accounting firms we dealt with had a partner tell us that another billion $ O&G company in Calgary was in the process of deciding to completely pull out of Calgary.
Lots of pain for 2016 coming.
