"Oil Service Leader Schlumberger Cuts 9,000 Jobs - It Just Got Real."
**** Just got Real! A coworker of mine sent me this link right after i picked up my daughter after i left the office this afternoon. Schlumberger is the first major company in the O&G industry to make a huge layoff. Tensions are going to be thick at the office the next few weeks....I hope that I am still around when things return to normal.
This is the first major downturn since I started my career in this industry. I knew that by being in the oilfield there is always a chance of being layed off during a downturn. I was just hoping that it wouldn't happen the same year that my wife and I brought a child into this world.
All there is to do is keep showing up and giving 100% and hope that the decision makers don't call my number. Good luck to everyone who makes their living in the O &G industry. Everyone in my household will be praying that this thing goes back up as fast as it fell.
