斯伦贝谢公司在石油大跌之际裁员2.1万人

全球冠状病毒大流行导致能源需求减少，石油价格下跌；全球最大油田服务公司斯伦贝谢（Schlumberger slashes）上周五宣布裁员，裁员人数21000多人，约占其全部员工总数的四分之一，超过10亿美元的遣散费预计将在今年下半年支付。裁员后的人数又减少到了该公司刚开始进行开采石油和天然气业务的水平---当时这股开采能源热潮让美国在全球能源市场中名列前茅。可是现在，几乎所有使用能源的公司都因为疫情而关闭或暂停营业。比如美国航空公司在上周四宣布亏损超过20亿美元，西南航空称亏损9.15亿美元...美国四大航空公司第二季度的亏损总额超过100亿美元。也是因为这些公司对能源需求的普遍减少，今年原油价格下跌了33%，天然气价格下跌了17%。这些都导致斯伦贝谢公司上第二季度营收下降35%，亏损34.3亿美元。

As much of the world took shelter from the coronavirus, Schlumberger is cutting more than 21,000 jobs as the global coronavirus pandemic quashes demand for energy and oil prices are routed, and the company will pay more than $1 billion in severance benefits, which vast majority of the severance charge is expected to be paid out during the second half of the year. The job cuts announced Friday, about a quarter of its entire workforce, puts the number of people employed by the world's largest oilfield services company close to where it was at the start of the oil and gas fracking boom that upended global energy markets and put the U.S. on top.Almost all major users of energy have been crippled because of the lockdown. On Thursday, American Airlines posted a loss of more than $2 billion, and Southwest Airlines said it lost $915 million. That pushed the combined second-quarter loss of the nation's four biggest airlines to more than $10 billion. The company said Friday that second quarter revenue plunged 35% and it lost $3.43 billion.  source
