I don't even care if that makes me sound like an as----e, but I pray for layoffs and I pray they include me. I'm done with this place.
Do you think we'll have layoffs soon?
What's your opinion?
ANOTHER ONE BITES THE DUST
CGG sales off Smart Data Solutions to Access USA and Oasis UK as of January 4th. SDS was the smallest piece of the CGG pie but the one that remained profitable year-to-year. The pearls in the crown are thrown to the pigs and the diamonds turn out to... — read more
recruiting heavily in North Wales and Crawley
We really must be really making a tonne of money!
Galileo
What's the timeframe for closing Galileo? Will the staff their be offered alternative locations?
CGG Crypto Mining
Is it true that CGG is using its processing servers to mine crypto currency in off-hours? If so, where does this income show up on the quarterly reports.
This place is done
Only fools believe they have a future here. Everybody else has either left already or is trying to leave.
Million dollars a day
Magic money tree losing 93M dollars in Q3. How long can it last?
What’s the strategy?
What is Sophie’s strategy to turn the company around, make it profitable and get the debt pile down to a manageable level? Anyone know?
That's GeoSoftware gone, then...
So, GeoSoftware has officially gone now. Here's the bookies' odds for what's next... North Sea Data Library - Evens Sercel 2-1 Galileo - 7-2 All Data Library - 4-1
how much time does CGG have?
CGG is still making quarterly losses, the debt pile is enormous and the credit line is being further reduced by each loss. With the majors culling oil and gas spend and no sign of a major pickup, is it over for CGG?
Ideal ratio of managers to workers?
This seems to me to be a company for managers. My opinion is that this situation is unsustainable because the company will soon have more managers than employees. More and more people are leaving, but managers are staying. It seems to me that CGG... — read more
Business lines for sale
Multi-physics has been sold and other businesses are apparently up for sale - any suggestions for what’s on the chopping block?
Nothing much left
So, GeoSoftware is now sold. That leaves about 3,000 out of what was recently a company of 12,000 - and that still includes Sercel! It's a bit like the knight in Monty Python that thinks he can keep fighting when all his limbs have been chopped off!... — read more
9/80
What's the work schedule at cgg? Do they offer 9/80 schedule?
When you let a bunch of stupid managers running the company, this has happened.
The stock price dropped from $2,000 to $1.
This is a much bigger problem
CGG is carrying legacy debt from the days when they delivered the full suite of seismic services and products. I recall many years when one business bailed out another (Sercel and land) to deliver OK results. They still carry the debt but now only... — read more
What’s happening with the multi-physics group sale?
It was announced back in the beginning of August that multi-physics would be sold off to Xcalibur group, since then we’ve heard nothing. Is it still happening?
How the he-l???
We are not making any money despite the data processing being done. We have a massive amount of debt which is not going down. We continue to spend money we do not have. HOW ARE WE STILL IN BUSINESS?
Technip Takeover

Green careers?
Has anyone tried transitioning their career to renewables? I’m thinking about making a career change and I wonder how sensible that move would be. I still do not have a good insight into the opportunities and job offers in this sector. I am... — read more
Reasons you are still at CGG?
CGG is my former workplace, I left recently before they could fire or lay me off. I couldn’t take it anymore because suddenly there was no reason for me to stay. The stock price speaks volumes about the state of the company. I just wonder, why do... — read more
CGG pledges carbon neutrality by 2050
I would have thought that pledging profitablilty by 2050 would be the first step. The optimism that they will still be around in 2050 is grounds for hope. Presumably by relocating to Shanghai. PS Polarcus defaulting: thoughts on that?
Stock price from $2000 to $0.51 garbage stock
CGG's stock price from $2000 in 2008 to $0.51 now. It is a garbage stock
More redundancies at CGG Robertson
Daily Post says 15 or 60 to go, depending who you listen to. The cookie is still crumbling, sadly.
When it's quiet...
When it's quiet you know something bad is happening.
What happened in Massy finally?
I heard that almost 1/3 employees were "cut off". Is that true?

Q2 $147M loss and cost reduction plan announced. Anyone know what this involves ?
CGG moving to Burgess Hill.
Start packing. Happening in August.

Another $100M loss
You can be as asset light as you want, but it won’t solve your incompetence problem.
