“The Back-and-Forth” Between UTC and Petrobras Resulted in the Dismissal of a Horde of Workers, and More Than 2000 Are Expected to Be Laid Off by the Weekend

Insurgencies Between BR and UTC Engineering Resulted in a Collective Dismissal of About 2000 Employees Directly from Service Providers. “This Collective Outrage” (I couldn’t find a better expression to define this one-sided situation) had already been circulating on social media and in conversations among company employees for some time, but since no one from the higher-ups issued any statement, nobody knew exactly what was happening.

Yesterday (10), employees went to the company already fearing the worst after a collective summons; see in the photo below the “Legal Telegram from Gugu” that employees received. Click to enlarge the photo:

The Reasons for This Mass Dismissal

According to Petrobras’ official statement yesterday, the amounts that were not transferred to UTC are related to administrative and operational irregularities from 2011, at the Alberto Pasqualini Refinery (REFAP), located in the state of RS.

UTC, on the other hand, claims that these amounts do not align with the current contracts and have nothing to do with operations in the Campos Basin. With no financial resources, the company was forced to lay off employees en masse.

Dismissed UTC Employees Consequently, operations and activities that are under UTC’s responsibility on platforms and rigs in the Campos Basin will be interrupted. Many employees are fearing the worst. Petrobras stated that it will take legal action against the contractor, as this attitude is irresponsible and directly affects workers who have nothing to do with this situation.

Washington Anunciação, who was one of those laid off, our friend and follower of the page CLICK PETROLEO E GÁS, said that the company did not deposit the FGTS or the INSS; the payments for the month of July have not been processed yet. Pessimistic and sad, he is distraught because he has a family to support and is paying for his apartment. This is the reality for many in this situation.

The two companies will be negotiating until the weekend, and if nothing is agreed upon favorably, more than 2000 employees will be laid off. What remains now is to wait for the developments of this story.

UTC Engineering Laid Off About 2,000 Employees All At Once Yesterday

“The Back-and-Forth” Between UTC and Petrobras Resulted in the Dismissal of a Horde of Workers, and More Than 2000 Are Expected to Be Laid Off by the Weekend

The Reasons for This Mass Dismissal

Seen from space, an image taken by an astronaut shows an unlikely oasis in the Saudi Arabian desert, protected by a terrain that slows the advance of sand, surrounded by green circles, remnants of an extinct lake and nearly 10,000 years of preserved history.

While the U.S. still faces limitations in deep space, China is developing unprecedented technology with strategic satellites that maintain communication with the far side of the Moon and aims for dominance by 2030.

In Botswana, a salt flat of up to 16,000 km² that was once an African megalake spends months as an absolute white desert, but during the rainy season it transforms into a shallow sea that reappears from nowhere and can be seen from space in the middle of southern Africa.

The Blood Falls of Antarctica hide a living ecosystem trapped under the ice for over 2 million years, where microbes survive without light, without oxygen, and without ever having seen the Sun.

Bavarian archaeologists unearthed a medieval skeleton that had an articulated iron hand in place of its left arm, and the discovery reveals that doctors were already creating sophisticated prosthetics over 500 years ago.

The CEO of Honor in Spain says that smartphones will change with AI, foldables, and even robot phones; the component crisis is making cheap models more expensive in 2026 and shifting the focus to premium.

Scientists find pen ink in Martian meteorites and expose a flaw in NASA’s sample preparation, warning that invisible contaminations can confuse analyses and require urgent unified protocols.

China successfully tested a machine that cuts submarine cables at a depth of 3,500 meters, and 99% of the world’s internet passes through these cables.

The most efficient house in the world does not use concrete, has no modern insulation, and was created over 1000 years ago in Iceland, made of earth and grass, retains heat in extreme cold, and still reduces almost all heating needs.

Oceans are coming under the spotlight of a technology that generates electricity 24 hours a day with just a 20 °C difference, and 144 years after being conceived on paper, it is advancing with a floating platform of 1.5 MW.

NASA reveals 10 astronomical phenomena in 2026 with a total eclipse, supermoons, and a rare spectacle that could still turn the sky upside down by December.
