Survived, took an expat role within Company. Still layoffs going on.
I realize i'm extremely lucky, but I got laid off with ample notice, and lined up a new job with the same pay that started right after the old one ended.
I wonder how many people that keep answering they survived don't even work in Oil and Gas
I can eat more hot wings than you.
I wonder how many people on here genuinely think more than 50% of oil and gas workers have lost their jobs?

Survived at same company, but my job will no longer exist as of September this year so i either have to find something else within the same company or i will be laid off.
But remember as its been said before everything revolves around oil and gas.Originally posted by CompletelyNumb

Semantics really. More than half likely did. But "layoffs" are much lower than that.Originally posted by killramos

God bless contractors and consultants. Every company I have ins with saw a "workforce reduction" of well over 50% vs the previous years.

I wonder the same thing. This thought came to me earlier in month when I was at a dealership buying a new Jeep. The sales guy that was helping me was not what I would typically expect from a car salesman. Later I found out he previously worked as a drafter for a O&G related company.Originally posted by killramos

Definitely tough but not impossible. I am seeing a lot more jobs posted internally this year compared to last. Doesn't help that i'm also shopping around for a promotionOriginally posted by Xtrema

Either way i'm not losing sleep about it. Our severance is quite good relatively speaking and being in the Retail/Payments space, i'm not entirely tied to O&G so i feel like i won't be unemployed for too long if it came down to it. We'll see though
Good luck and stay positive!Originally posted by sabad66

The sales girl at a furniture store that was helping used to work at a producer in HR too. There are many stories like this.Originally posted by 2000impreza

Also met a cashier at winners who graduated from engineering 2 years ago...
We are doing pipeline inspection for Oil gas and water companies. Does that count as O&G related? Our stock price definetly got affected though. OG related or not they can't layoff 100% of the employees- I am just one of those who luckily survived.

Exactly. It's in every thread about O&G, so it must be true.Originally posted by roopi

And why exactly is this?Originally posted by lindaL

What if a company goes under? You'd better believe 100% are going to be losing their jobs.
Scotia Bank shutdown a data center and moved it to Toronto and layed off 100% of the Calgary staff in November 2016.
