Equinor to Cut Jobs

摘要

Equinor will reduce its workforce this year as part of efforts to cut costs, improve efficiency and increase its competitiveness. The Norwegian major has not yet said how many jobs will go. “We don't know how much exactly … in terms of the numbers or percentage,” said CEO Eldar Saetre. But “it will take us into being a tighter company in the second half of this year,” he told Bloomberg TV on Friday. At the end of 2019, Equinor employed over 21,000 permanent staff - most of them based in Norway - and around 38,000 temporary employees and contractors.
