Yeah its bad trying to get into the Texas unemployment site. A buddy of my gave me a good tip albeit inconvenient but works. In case anyone needs to, utilize the service in the late hours when most people are sleeping. I have not had issue doing... — read more 

I was just reading CEO statement on the Houston Chronicle that layoffs “will continue through May 18th”. Idk that.

Are they the Apache standard week for each year of service including Unused vacation?

For those were laid off, if anyone would like to use this section as means of possibly posting job listings or people or agency's or places for those that are looking for work. Oil/Gas taking a hit but perhaps people reading the site might be... — read more 

For those that were laid off, be curious to see if you like share your feedback. Well. No surprise for me since all this happened. Was laid off officially last week. And I am so GLAD it happened! It was not a good experience and people were just... — read more 

Downgraded to “junk” today. Way to go Execs.

Is anybody left?

I know you read these posts otherwise half of them wouldn't get deleted. Apache has lost so many incredibly talented and loyal people, it's time to look in the mirror. Oxy CEO Vicki Hollub's salary will be slashed by 81 percent, while the other... — read more 

And how many more will be sacrificed before this whole COVID-19 thing is over with?

That is the only person with job security.

Saudis and Russians want to put US shale, oil and gas out of business. They are taking the "loss leader" approach right now, and can survive for 4-6 months with oil at $22 or less. They're betting that US companies will go out of business in 3-4... — read more 

For Apache to terminate employees while they are quarantined at home is unbelievable. We are experiencing a mass pandemic and they have the audacity to layoff workers especially when they claim to have money to survive! Those at the top of the... — read more 

Can you imagine how many jobs would be saved if the CEO and VPs took pay cuts like a lot of upper management are taking at other companies at this difficult time. You cannot say people are your greatest asset when you offer them positions in the... — read more 

Apache cutting large amount of Midland personnel. 100 or so. Gone.

JC and your toadies. Read here about a dedicated CEO. 14th floor of Apache was grossly overpaid before all this and has taken enough. How about at least a 50% reduction in the cost of the 14th floor? Boeing says its CEO and its chairman will... — read more 

So will people in leadership roles be taking our jobs? if you step down by choice, you should be gone, if you are forced to step down, you should get a pay cut or be gone... Chances are you got your position by back stabbing or being a SNAKE. ... — read more 

The politics in this company have become unbelievable!!! It is no longer about doing a great job!! It is about survival mode and kissing a**. There are a few good people left, but the only ones thriving are the yes people. When Keenan left, Apaches... — read more 

In another big F-U to the core value stating "it's people are their greatest asset", One of Apache's largest cuts were taken by the operational safety team. A manager and field supervisor with over 40 combined years of service were unceremoniously... — read more

Raises hand

I know Apaches are disgruntled, and often with good reason, but I still had some cool times and bonded with some really good people there. Looks like a lot of us may not make it back in after this quarantine. I wish the best of luck to all of... — read more 

If not, when is that gonna happen?

Just think of how things would have played out if Apache would have merged with Anadarko back in 2015 when it was rejected. Great move by this CEO to protect his own a** and his lap dogs. Would have had a lot of great DWB acreage!

With APA stock at 4 bucks. It seems as if belly up is the only way to go. What an amazing fiasco. I am thinking of filing a lawsuit before I get the shaft…again! In my separation agreement did I agree to not filing a lawsuit by signing, or upon... — read more 

Its time, it has been time for awhile. We know it, HE knows it. I welcome any rebuttal to the idea that this CEO has steered this company into an iceberg. None of it is due to market difficulties or anything else that he has laid blame on. This... — read more 

Apache let go of every contractor that works everyday with us. Some have been here for 23 years. Thanks John. Do the right thing and resign. You failed.

With the new impending layoffs will Apache have to file a new WARN Notice with the State of Texas if they meet the WARN number requirements with this new round of layoffs?

I'm surprised more hasn't been said regarding this here. Now that Project Ascend has moved into Phase II: The Descend (or Rescind), I'm curious how they are going to handle this next round of promised cuts given that we are all at home until at least... — read more 

Imagine if APA executives deferred their paycheck. Imagine how many jobs that would save in the second round of Project Ascend. Imagine the loyalty and morale they would build.

Let's talk about it. Raise your internet hand if you have seen something that made you question; Is this decision being made based on what is best for Apache, or based on what is best for a few parties external and internal? In this case it has... — read more 

I can tell everybody reading this, that if you didn’t work in the oil industry in the early 1980s, you’ve never seen a bust. It was so severe that if equipment broke down, companies would just drag it away from the main road, strip the decals off... — read more 

Why aren't we ramping up right now? Drilling costs are about to drop substantially, and we could take advantage of drilling out our full 2020 program at minimum cost to us. And then, when prices recover, crank up production and benefit from it on the... — read more 

Apache announced that it will reduce drilling rig count in the Permian Basin to zero over the coming weeks. Seems that management is taking this oil production and price war seriously and is trying to stay ahead of a bad situation.
