In Its Quest to Cut Costs, Petrobras Again Announces VSP (Voluntary Dismissal Program), Raising Concerns Among Unions

After Petrobras admitted, last Tuesday (09/24), its intention to dismiss civil servants who work at Torre Pituba, in Salvador, the Brazilian state-owned company announced the approval of a new Voluntary Dismissal Program (VSP) exclusively for employees working in the corporate segment of the company.
This is the third VSP promoted by the company this year, continuing its efforts to reduce costs and aim to close the year in the black.

In addition to the revenue from the onerous concession auction, Petrobras is counting on reducing expenses to balance its accounts, and after announcing the closure of several bases across the country, it now seems that it is time to decrease its payroll, raising concerns for the union of the category.

The VSPs

The VSP announced this Thursday (09/26) is the third announced in 2019. The first was aimed at those employees who were retired by INSS until June 2020.
The second VSP covered the Personnel Plan of the Active Portfolio Management Program (Specific VSP) and was focused on employees of the business units being sold, in this case the subsidiaries.

Petrobras, through an official statement, emphasized that all three programs will provide employees with the same legal advantages and indemnities, but Sindipetro (Petroleum Workers Union) is closely monitoring the programs and expresses its immense concern about the situation of the company’s employees.

“Petrobras reaffirms its commitment to transparency and respect for all its employees. The company seeks to create conditions for professionals to make the best choice, always upholding its commitment to ethics, transparency, and the highest levels of safety and efficiency in operations,” read the statement.

Gaddafi built the world’s largest artificial river under the Sahara — it’s 4,000 km of giant pipes that pump 40,000-year-old fossil water to entire cities in Libya.

Discovery in Africa scares even scientists: a study published on April 23 reveals that the crust in Turkana has become so thin that it could pave the way for the continent’s division and the emergence of an ocean in the future, in a gigantic geological transformation.

Japanese garbage collectors treat filthy trucks as if they were dealership cars, and the obsession with cleanliness is so absurd that they invented a washing machine that only exists for this type of vehicle.

Germany took 1,468 days to drill 9,101 meters of the Earth’s crust, faced temperatures of 265 degrees, crossed faults saturated by fluids under pressure, and revealed that the continental crust remains active, stressed, and permeable far beyond the limits that science considered possible.

In 1991, Brazil’s GDP was almost double India’s, and today it is little more than half: while India grew 6.5% per year and trained engineers, Brazil preferred to train lawyers, and now it is rushing to strengthen ties with the world’s fourth-largest economy.

The Brazilian city of the crooked buildings, which is being “swallowed” by the sea, receives more than R$ 20 million after a R$ 276.6 million package for 214 cities, with transfers of R$ 2.5 million per tourist resort.

São Paulo Government launches fire prevention program on highways to protect rural areas, agricultural and livestock production, and the environment

magniX’s new electric motor promises 175 kW, weighs only 55 kg, and targets light training aircraft.

The Amazon begins to fail in silence: areas of the planet’s largest tropical forest emit more carbon than they absorb, lose resilience after extreme droughts, and transform the green that still seems intact into a climate warning before visible collapse.

Noroeste Paulista highways gain 19 new service points and expand free support for motorists since 2023

Brazil is experiencing two climates at the same time, with temperatures below zero in the South while the Central part of the country bakes at almost 37°C, and the turn of the month promises no relief for either side.
