CRM

Stop spreading rumors. The layoff CRM request was closed on time and was handled correctly. It was simply rejected over and over while it was bounced from department to department because nobody knew which group was supposed to do the work. So it... read more

We used to be on the same team

I wish we could go back to the way things were. We used to be on the same team. Now it’s nothing but animosity and I don’t see the reason for it. Within aviation, the Saudis are great. Someone mentioned their skills and attitude and I have to agree... read more

Slow trickle of layoffs

A few in layoffs trickling in still, power systems and some finance.... I guess trying not call attention to it. Seems, ARAMCO still not recovering. I am sure someone will debate this with unjustified enthusiasm.

Leaving Aramco or getting laid off starting to feel like a relief, after spending years here, you come to realize that life in the camp is more of a prison than it used to be. Aramco security starting to harass residents. Issuing violations like... read more

I think every expat employee has lost his/her comfort level in this company.

Now's the time to leave

PMT is currently getting hammered by the dozens. It looks like the company is closing down all expenditures and investments after hitting the brick wall of reality in regards to the rapidly shrinking possibility of a successful IPO. 50% reduction in... read more

Who will get affected by the Layoff?

It will hit those departments that have been taken into JV's - onshore and offshore, with all other associated areas. Time they hit areas of housing, training and HR, as add no real value with most of finance being left till after IPO. Makes sense to... read more

Watch who you take advice from

Anyone commenting here who was hired before 2012 is working under a completely different set of rules and benefits than employees who are currently being hired. Just 2 years ago they cut the bachelor return home trips from 3 to 2, but only for new... read more

Canadians

I would think that the ungrateful Canadians should fall asleep every night thanking the old-timers from Texas and California who arrived on these shores and built all of this for them to enjoy. That's just me.

Leaving

Huge group of people leaving anyway at the end of the school year. Going to be hard to find a moving company before August or so.

Midra expats

It appears that Midra expats are on the chopping block for the next major wave.
