Issue #265 | April 1, 2020
It’s been a tough week for oil & gas. Lots of good people being laid off or furloughed, and happening at a time when finding a new job is particularly difficult. Do the best you can and we’ll come through this okay.

I hope you are able to do the same. You are in our prayers. Have a good rest of the week.
