Give them the warrior's death - quick and simple.

SOBO was last week, Conoco and Parkland to come. No wonder why Costcos are so busy on weekdays now....
Seems bizarre to me. I think pensions are a big part of it. They want to reach a number.

I hate bumping this thread, but I've gotten 3 phone calls just today from clients who got their walking papers.

Some little company that rhymes with Ce-knows-Us appears to be doing a hefty round.

I cant really speak to that per se, but the people I talked to today were long-term Cenovus employees.

Kiwetinohk, which rhymes with absolutely nothing, dumped a large number last week, after its plan of arrangement went through.

Lots of MEG people got their walking papers. Probably some cenovus people too in the right sizing.

It would depend on who is cheaper. If you suddenly have two guys for the same job and guy M has a lower salary then long term C guy can get the papers.

We had a deal to buy them but fell through at the end. Who ended up getting them?
