Dark year.
2020.

I used to work in an oil company and saw my fair share of oil price crashes. It never was a pleasant experience seeing colleagues get released and jobs get crunched. When I think of what's coming in the next few months with oil taking probably the biggest battering it ever has and oil majors already facing the reality of a long-term oil downturn, I can't help but imagine the amount of job losses Nigerians will be seeing pretty soon.
Exxon, shell and Chevron are so going to fire people. Chevron is already offering deals to staff in the US who want to leave. It's going to get really bad. Hold your heads!!!

Why should anyone sympathize with them?

Those guys earn in one month what some of us earn in 2 years...some people won't even earn it in a decade.

Funnily enough, we attend the same market.

I suppose they should have savings and start up a business just to sustain themselves.

When the price bounces back, their companies or startups will absorb them because they already have experience

Don't think people don't leave the oil industry because of the pay. I got a better job somewhere else.
