So this board tends to get all hyped up and concerned about Covid than forgets about the topic for days & weeks at a time. I guess now that everyone is afraid of being RIF'd Covid takes a back seat.

Any positive feedback?

More assets sales. Office closures, layoffs, nothing positive it seems. But why are we hiring Expert level geo positions?

I want to love my job once again. I truly do. But frankly, the company is making it harder and harder. I'm at the point where it's really hard to imagine that things could be any worse anywhere else, and they certainly could be better. I've been here... — read more 

So how many days a week are y’all choosing to be in the office on this new survey we were sent? I was debating between 1 and 2 but ultimately ended up choosing just 1.

I wish there was more communication about Covid cases at work. Most of the people are still going to the office. So we, the more concerned ones look bad. I know more people inside and outside work that have had Covid lately. Way more cases than last... — read more 

Some really good, some not. Regardless, is anyone noticing on 14?

So after retirements and layoffs. Is the plan to gut all the seasoned employees? Everyone seems new, entire new departments on a whim.....

Execs appear to be looking at organization as a whole and realizing what the market has for years - Apache is not a sustainable company. Apache’s assets are not great, inventory is poor, debt is too high, and the entire future of the company is... — read more 

How do they expect someone to be concentrated and do their job as best they can, if at the same time listening to how there are people infected with the virus in the office? The situation worries me a lot, I take this virus very seriously and it... — read more 

All these new positions for hire...... what's that about. What change is coming? Must be nice to have budget to hire people......

Do we know anything new about potential RIFs sometime in near future?

Care to comment?

So two months back in the office now… everybody/anybody happy besides the execs who manipulated the employee surveys to make it seem like a lot of us wanted to be back in the office? I haven’t had a single in person meeting since going back and... — read more 

I noticed a thread about HR got unposted, and rightfully so. It was nothing more than celebrity mean tweets. But… There is no doubt BJ is woefully unqualified for the job. She, literally, has no strategic or original thinking. Sadly, her best... — read more 

What happened with the investor lawsuit?? Any news?

How many people who got laid off ended up agreeing to a lower pay in new companies? Here I saw that someone eventually agreed to half the pay because it was the only offer he got for a whole year after the layoff. I'd love to find a new job... — read more 

Didn't Noble start selling everything before their buyout? Not that anyone wants APA US assets. Alpine oil? Hahahahahahahaha. What's left to sell? Delaware Basin? So called Legacy? I.e. Junk. S Midland Basin? UK? Hmmmmmm

Seems like there’s no focus, everyone’s chasing some pet project or pointless buzzword these days

This is a first for me and I’m not sure how to handle it. Lately I’ve been given unreasonable workloads while my usual responsibilities have been removed. Even worse, the deadlines assigned to these tasks are very difficult to achieve. I’m starting... — read more 

Dear Apache Leadership, The biggest concern you should have is when your most passionate employees become quiet. Signed, We're growing in numbers

Can someone shed some light on what happened to ME?

Why JC didn’t make the list? His $14MM compensation is higher than the last one on the list.

I don't understand why Apache puts people in positions that absolutely exceed their qualifications? That has always been the case, however, it seems to me that it has never been easier to get a job or get into a position without the essential... — read more 

I know it’s ugly, but I’m a little envious of those who leave here. On the other hand, I am also happy for everyone who is leaving, because there is no future here. I have been trying unsuccessfully to find a new job for a long time, but... — read more 

Beside Kevin from the Office that somehow went from a sitcom to destroying a once-upon-a-time Fortune 500, who are the worst staff on the roster? MM aka beluga whale? The SAP salesman who has 0 accomplishments in his life other then being a trust... — read more 

First of all, this place is sc-m of the earth and have kept all the losers not one talented person left.

Let’s resume yesterday’s chatter:

Where do you see APA in 5 years? If at all...

This is really the question. It's all Apache does now. Sell off. The old Apache is gone. These newer leaders are a joke.

Food for thought.... A $10,000 investment in Apache stock at the start of the JC era on 01/20/2015 would be worth a whopping $3864 today. That is after a little recent run-up in oil prices. Think about that for a bit, He and his cronies have... — read more

Let’s hope they keep going up and industry recovers, crossing fingers here

Now we hear after more downsizing the plan is to move to Briar Lake in a few years?! Ugh

Talk about poor judgment. I mean really. Anxiety will already be high for lots of people and you want us to gather in a room on day 1 at 9am!?!?!?!?! So out of touch. Come on Mgmt. Do you even care? Oh wait No.

I just can’t wait 😛 till Monday. Let’s see what happens. Worse case situation...at least we will entertained.

The 2021 Apache Corporation Special Scholarship was granted to the children of two employees who definitely need help sending their kids to college. Really cool message you're sending with that one, Apache. Their opinion of our opinion of them is... — read more
