My father has been at the factory here in Lawrence for 30 years and said they are putting people out of the door left and right over the past week... he is hoping for a lump sum offer that they have done in the past... would go nicely with his pension

"In response to lower commodity pricing and anticipated lower exploration and production spending in 2015, Schlumberger decided to reduce its overall headcount to better align with anticipated activity levels for 2015. Schlumberger recorded a $296 million charge associated with a headcount reduction of approximately 9,000."

“In this uncertain environment, we continue to focus on what we can control. We have already taken a number of actions to restructure and resize our organization that has led us to record a number of charges in the fourth quarter. We are convinced that performance must now be driven by an accelerated change in the way we work through our transformation program."


That's the biggest cut so far in the industry.
