As expected Furloughs are making a comeback. 5 days per month starting April 12th. Involuntary or Voluntary. Who's planning on volunteering?

Now it really seems that layoffs and the lot are on the horizon. I also feel that the executive team is not taking enough of a pay cut in terms of percentage, as 20% is not much at all considering they make so much money. "People first", my a–.

Anyone on here at reduced pay now? Just curious.

We as a company have decided to go back to our roots. We are only going to run resistivity logs, if you can't read 'em, and you don't know a water play when you see it, don't let the door hit you in the arse.

With 30% cuts to the budget, I'm betting there'll be even more layoffs than we originally suspected. Some of it might be mitigated with pay cuts, but I doubt it'll have too much... —  read more

Surely the board of directors will not recommend a share dividend this year... Stock tanking below $13, $12bn loss, doing jobs at less than cost, oil hitting $25 and less, too much oil, shale in North America going down, down, down. Surely not... —  read more

Oil price is always been center of economy and it will be for many more years to come. Feeling happy from this chaos isn't humane behavior. Just saying.

What's happening at Florence? How many let go? Which function?

Was just told that there are layoffs occurring across NAM. I know of a few that were let go from my M-I Swaco facility today (3/18/20).
