Semcams was more like 30%, with more in January.
10% of their Canadian staff, with the field getting hit in Jan.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

Imperial is too red tape for me.
There's just an employee forum tomorrow at IOL. I doubt anyone is going home tomorrow, but that's not to say that some won't be leaving before Christmas.
Ah, your name makes sense now. I know your Brother haha. Hopefully no bad news tomorrow!This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

I heard that Varel Energy solutions gave everyone in Canada their severance papers today as they are pulling out of Canada. I guesstimate a few dozen people likely losing their jobs.

I've been on temporary layoff since April. I finally decided to call it quits this week and took the severance instead of another 2 month layoff extension. I don't see there being another 30 years of a career in drilling fluids in southern Alberta or Saskatchewan, and I don't want to work anywhere else so I'm going to have to make a change at some point and now is as good a time as any.
In January I'll start taking class 1A training. It's $10,000 if you're going to pay for it yourself, but if you're on EI and they approve your application it's free. I don't think a 1A is worth $10,000 for me but it's worth more than 0. I figure I have the time and the opportunity now so I might as well do it.
