[QUOTE="wawazat, post: 3654844, member: 35603"] If that is the norm, I agree. I have had a few that took over a role and were able to shave hours off what it took to get the work done each week. They got promoted, were given a raise, and tasked with attacking even bigger stuff. I have been in oil and gas for a long time and have ridden out a LOT of layoffs. In my direct experience only, the slow and steady group are typically the first ones cut. If you are the guy that management knows will find a way to make it work, you will hold on longer than the others. My wife has been through similar experiences and had a similar outcome. If they have to cut 3 people but they know who will pick up the slack to make it work. The person picking up the slack will have a paycheck again next week. Life's too short for coasting, which is why I ran from Williams as fast as I could, haha. [/QUOTE]
