When are we looking at more layoffs?

Lately we've seen a few people here and there laid off by CGG, but I was wondering when are we looking at another bigger round of layoffs? There has been very little chatter lately, so if anybody has any info on what's coming down the line, please... read more

Huge turnover

If you want to truly realize how bad situation is at CGG Veritas, just look at our turnover. We are literally losing people on weekly bases these days, and most of them are our best workers. Frankly, CGG doesn't need layoffs, they just need to stop... read more

Oil prices & CGG...?

Anyone have any thoughts on the current reassurance of oil prices and CGG???? For a long time I didn't thing CGG was going to survive the prolonged downturn. Will the pickup in oil price mean we can survive?

Merger.....?

I have been hearing rumours of a merger with one of the other remaining players. Anyone heard anything similar?

HR in other centres

Why is The HR department in CGG so bad? I have heard that HR in Calgary is one of the worst, apparently she is never in the office and when she is, she is bad at her job. You never hear of bad HR departments in other centres like Perth or in Asia... read more

Career after CGG (share your story)

I thought it would be interesting for those ex-CGG guys here to share how things have gone career-wise since they left. Given the industry situation, most of us had to look outside O&G to opportunities. Also a significant number of us do quite unique... read more

More layoffs

Calgary let 7 go today. 2 processors, 4 in office operations, 1 in IT Calgary was hit yesterday, which means that we can definitely expect more layoffs next week. As somebody put it in that other thread, CGG does this in stages. Not sure which... read more

Are we safe now?

CGG is out of the woods now. That means we are finally safe. Am I right? At least no need to worry about layoffs in the near future?

Restructuring

CGG has had interest expenses of about $180M per year for the last 4 years. They have incurred losses averaging $961M per year over the same period. How will wiping all but $1.2B their debt and raising $500M help them survive 2018 ?

Massive destruction of capital

Share price tanking again today. Market cap is now about 46 million Euro. At the end of 2012 CGG had a market cap of almost 4 billion Euro - yes, billion. Shocking! www.cgg.com/en/Investors/Shareholder-Information/Share-Price-Details

bankruptcy??

My former boss resigned after 15 years with CGG. He will join TGS soon. He said , CGG has fallen and will formally declare bankruptcy in a coming months! Is it true? I thought they managed to get some cash from somewhere for chapter 11 !

CGG Stock price

What's the reason for the 33% + fall in the CGG stock price today? Has reality finally kicked in?
