Following The Spending Cuts, The Next Administrative Building To Be Closed Is Salvador, As Already Happened In Macaé And São Paulo

As reported here on your Click Oil and Gas portal, after announcing the termination of activities at the offices in Macaé (Edinc) and in São Paulo (Edisp), it is now the turn of the Salvador unit, in Bahia (Ediba).
The announcement of the vacancy of the Torre Pituba building (Ediba) was made this Friday (6/9) by the Union of Oil Workers (Sindipetro) of Bahia.

Petrobras reported in a statement that it is not about “point actions in specific regions” and that it is part of a company’s plan to close other offices across Brazil.
It is worth mentioning that the state company has already vacated the Novo Cavaleiros Building, in Macaé, Edinc and Edisp in São Paulo, and is also leaving the Ventura Building, in downtown Rio de Janeiro.

The Company’s Statement

Petrobras’s statement also says: Studies are underway regarding other facilities, in order to adjust the occupation of spaces to Petrobras’s business strategy.

The company also emphasizes that the relocation of employees is part of a natural movement and that processes for cost reduction in its activities are always evaluated.

The closure of offices like those in Macaé and São Paulo was justified by the company as occupying available spaces in nearby facilities or in buildings less burdensome to the company, as was the case with Edisp in São Paulo.
According to the oil company, the savings from relocating teams and vacating the São Paulo unit will be around R$ 20 million per year.

Meanwhile, Sindipetro fears that the closure of offices may be accompanied by the demobilization of labor, particularly subcontracted workers.
