Rumor is more layoffs are being planned...so sad
If rigs go from 23 to 7 (roughly 67% reduction) and staffing was cut 20-25% it feels like this was just the first round of cuts. Surely they won’t need all the remaining staff for 7 rigs???
Ovintiv, formerly known as
@encana
, confirms layoffs are taking place company wide this week. An email went out to Calgary staff on Monday announcing senior management restructurings & informing of coming cuts from executive level down, including field workers #abpoli #OOTT #Oil
Ovintiv says it is "right sizing the organization," that it took measures early on by significantly reducing activity in Q1 and reducing Rigs from 23 to 7 company-wide. It says that means future activity will be lower than prior expectations.
