Hang in there, life after Apache has been a breath of fresh air. Wanted, valued, respected, empowered, heard……all things missing until I started on this new path. Good luck and take care of yourselves.

All of you still at APA acting like the first episode of Severance. You choose to keep returning to that god forsaken place working for those god forsaken people.

Just more sales speeches and no transparency. Hope is derived from leaders that are accountable and honest, not from leaders that only preach optimism. Glad you are so excited about our future, wish we could say the same.

Upper management cannot see what's going on with contract hands but they let it slide anyway !! They will pull us all down.

Does it mean each team will have a landman, geoph, geol, re, pe, fe, and planner? Or we got no clue?

Were there cuts yesterday? Can anybody share if their group was hit?

Absolutely pitiful, this executive team is awful!
