265 can lose your job in National Oilwell Varco – E24

– First we will carry out individual discussions. Then we’ll look at the distribution of the offices. An happening during the month of October, says director Frode Jensen to Stavanger Aftenblad.

“National Oilwell Varco Norway AS has decided that it will be completed a new round of job cuts in the company. 265 employees are in danger of losing their job in the company”, writes the company in a press release.

It was the Stavanger aftenbladet newspaper that first publicized the case Tuesday.

The employees have gotten the message for a half-hour ago. It is quite clear that it is not positive when you’ve been through several rounds. It’s a tough message to get, ” says HR manager Kjell Gunnar Hammen in NOV to E24.

More than half have lost your job

He tells us that somewhere between 2,500 and 3,000 people have lost their jobs in the company since oil prices began to fall in 2014, if one takes with contracted consultants in the figures. Today, there are around 2,000 employees remaining in the company.

– the Background for nedbemanningen is the same as earlier. The market has not changed over the last few months, and we see no change in the short term. We must adapt ourselves to the market, ” says the HR chief.

– You write in the press release that the 265 is in danger of losing their job. Can you say something about a lower estimate?

– It means that up to 265 can lose your job. I can’t comment on it beyond what it says in the press release.

the Company warned earlier in september that they considered to carry out a new round of job-cuts. Then, there were few other concrete opplysningers that time.

It has been notified that we have begun to look at whether we need a downsizing, and it has the right in, said a representative Kaspar Frengstad to the E24 earlier in september.
