Schlumberger - Seeing a lot of 'reorganizations' lately. What's the real story?

Been with SLB for a while now, and the past six months or so have felt… different. We've had a few 'reorganizations' within departments, and it always comes with the usual talk about 'synergies' and 'efficiency gains'. But honestly, it feels like more people are being shuffled around than actual structural changes. New reporting lines pop up, teams get merged, then split again a few months later. It's creating a lot of confusion about who's actually responsible for what, and decisions seem to be taking longer. I've also noticed a lot of experienced folks quietly moving on to other companies. It makes you wonder if these 'reorgs' are just a way to mask underlying issues or maybe even a slow, gradual reduction in headcount without outright layoffs. Anyone else feeling this constant churn and wondering what the endgame is?

Yeah, the 'reorg' buzz has been loud lately. It's definitely causing some internal churn. My take is they're trying to streamline things after some strategic shifts, maybe adapting to market pressures or integrating new tech. It's a tricky balance, though. When roles shift and reporting lines blur, it's hard for folks on the ground to stay focused and effective. Hopefully, this leads to some clarity soon.

I've noticed the same. It feels like a constant state of flux rather than a decisive move. Sometimes these 'reorganizations' are a symptom of a bigger issue, like trying to fix underlying performance problems without addressing the root cause. Could be cost-cutting disguised as efficiency drives, or maybe a lack of clear long-term strategy. Whatever it is, it's definitely making things feel a bit unsettled for many employees.
