From the publicly filed proxy on the merger, what is “APC’s Executive officer who is not a named executive officer”? This will pay $605k for vested APC stock options, $1.3m for unvested stock, $2.3m for outstanding APC RSU awards, $4.8m for... — read more 

Not sure about you guys, but I absolutely love the clarity around our 401k and personal wealth accounts. What “options” will we have for our 401k accounts? What the hell is happening to that $$$ in our personal wealth accounts? Is that being rolled... — read more 

I hear the Oxy data science manager is not going to retain much of AAET. Get those resumes ready!

How is the 401K calculated? APC Matches up to 6% 4% even if you don’t contribute anything 6 to 10% based off you age to a low yield account linked to 30 year TBill with min 3% return. Yes, that’s a total 22-26% a year

How is OXY’s bonus formula determined? At APC you have a target %, the higher up the food chain the higher the %. Mid level is 10 - 20% of your salary. Around Feb the EC spits out a magic number, usually between 1.25 and 1.5 based off company... — read more 

You know, the book club, chair yoga, self defense class and balloon bazaar just isn't enough to distract me from all the BS here at APC. I think we ALL need to schedule a mental health day at the same time. What say you APC?!?!

They listened to the feedback and removed their pictures from the email signature.

Place your bets everyone. The close date coincides with payroll. Monday morning m—acre? Executives gone for sure, but who thinks they'll be able to cull a good 25% right off the bat. No doubt, the actual integration will be a long and... — read more

Is this their idea of transparency? Reminds me of my Ex-wife. Shrouded with secrecy and obscurity. If anyone needs me i’ll be at the gym working on my glutes.

Any updates? We must have done an internal investigation. Anyone not showing up for work? Anyone's house mysteriously on the market. . Unfortunately Oxy buyout provides cover for aberrant behavior.

Look at the reviews on Indeed and Glassdoor about working for Oxy. A word to the wise,

What everyone’s thoughts on the most recent HSE monthly meeting? It seems corporate is completely out of touch with what goes on in the field. Also that one directors HPI presentation seemed to be a massive middle finger to the field. Thoughts?

Any word on retention bonus or anything of that nature? I would assume we would get our personal wealth money?

How much PTO do you get at OXY? What is the schedule for it increasing? Asking because part of the CoC stipulates similar benefits. OXY might get an increase.

With all the uncertainty, it’s hard to stay focused. I’m hoping for COC, but feel Oxy will not give it to many people.

Hmmmmm... finally had some real information on here and the whole post is taken down. It didn't have anyone's name on it. Now I see no posts from yesterday at all. Where's the transparency??

What happened to posting the FAQs? A lot has been sent in, but they stopped posting answers to any questions that we have. Where's the transparency that was promised?

At our townhall with Oxy CEO, it was said voluntary retirement for those 55 and up would be offered for both companies. Will it be the same package as the COC?

Oxy has a townhall next week; any word if APC is going to have one as well?

Heard from multiple sources that the close will occur in mid-July, not September.

I guess we don’t need to be concerned about mid year reviews?

If you dig a little online you’ll find that a previous COO of WES is now an OXY VP of Midstream.

Seems like a good idea to keep it to stay close to Rockies assets. Also I bet there's plenty of Oxy suits who want to get the hell out of Houston and keeping this office is that ticket out.

The only time RAW came out of pocket to purchase APC stock was in May 2017 at a tune of about $1m. According to OXY’s S-4, formal talks between he and VH took place in July of that year. Coincidence?

For making us the joke of the entire industry with you and your incompetent EC payouts. Unbelievable, $300MM? You guys are jokes.

Algerian energy minister says the country won’t let Oxy sale of GB to Total proceed.
