It must be ‘Termination Tuesday’ as Husky confirms a second round of layoffs

A Husky Energy oil terminal in Hardisty, Alta.

CALGARY C Husky Energy Inc. confirmed another wave of layoffs Tuesday, because the company shrinks its headcount in an attempt to survive sub-$30 oil prices.

Oilpatch employees in Calgary began calling the 2nd day of the job week “Termination Tuesday” during the period of 2015, as major oil and gas firms trimmed staff as oil prices fell.

Husky, one of the largest oil and gas producers headquartered in Calgary, confirmed Tuesday that it had laid off staff, but did not provide detail around the number of individuals impacted by the cuts.
