Yeah pretty scary. These are like 100k-150 a year positions. Between shell and talisman, like 70,000,000$ - 100,000,000$ a year has probably been taken from the Calgary/Alberta economy.
Add in petro-can's, conoco's, CNRL's, and others' previous layoffs. It's going to hit everyone.

What does that have to do with anything? The money was for a Carbon Capture and Storage project, not a bailout or anything. Totally unrelated.Originally posted by Sugarphreak

I can't believe O&G is getting in and getting paid on the Carbon Climate bullshit scams.

Sorry, couldn't help myself.
Several studies have investigated the relationship between intelligence and the degree of religious belief (excluding humanism), with most showing an inverse correlation between intelligence averages and the "importance of religion" to the testee.

What departments? Is this mostly IT?

Carbon trading is going to be the next biggest scam.
No actual carbon will be removed - Comanies will be charged fees on Carbon, and those fees will be passed to you the consumer.
Then investment banks will create derivatives and investment products to make mony and artificially drive the prices of Carbon UP.
Basically YOU will pay for the profits of investment banks, while no real benefit occurs at all.
IF they were actually interested in making a difference the LAW would require emissions and carbon capture and not offer some bogus scheme where "Credits" can be purchased.
What a joke.
But yeah back to the layoffs
Better buy a house quick before you are priced out of the market!!!

IT is hit really hard with these layoffs, everything is being offshored. Not sure about the business side. That being said, I might go back to school to do something more fun that sitting in a cubicle every day. Sometimes layoffs can be a good thing.

Just because some crack pot carbon scientist is getting paid somewhere doesn't mean there isn't any redundancy elsewhere. Especially redundancy by outsource, offshore and reorg.Originally posted by Sugarphreak

So they hired everyone and there mom a few years ago from all around the world and now they are back to normal and people still wonder why they get laid off. Im sory if your in IT and you got the job because you know how to turn on the computer you shouldent be there. Laugh all you want, but I have worked with enough dumb ass people in IT to know thats what it is.
