Our company will live or die on the quality of the Board. Some of these folks are twits-DS?
Acct Circus
This area is a Complete Joke. Replace all the revenue accounting “Managers”. What do they even do? Certainly not train or develop anyone. Unless You fit their Woke criteria, which they use to self serve their own agendas, don’t expect any job... — read more
The Facade
I find it a hard pill to swallow when certain APA leaders go on LinkedIn, post pictures of them "saving" the world: "Had a great time discussing how we can contribute to human progress......" Meanwhile, they are ruthlessly backstabbing their... — read more
Just Keepin on
You probably won’t find a gig making comparables. Just keep showing up to work and be grateful?!
Bonus

Bad feeling! about the move
It'll be too convenient for more optimizations
HR Turnover???
What’s up here. Recently noticed people abruptly gone….
Bonus corporate factor
any rumors?
Career framework phase II
Finished? or discontinued due to the M&A?
Apache announces a buyout on thr same day employee options settle. Shocker.
It is almost as though they knew the announcement would dive the stock price down. (That was sarcasm.)
What's happening with cuts?
The lack of rumors is a good thing, but I'm still a bit nervous.
Emptying offices
Why do we have to empty all offices before the end of the year if we are moving in April? Am I the only one sus here?
GOOD LUCK APACHE

Start Looking
Texas will have to cut methane emissions from oil fields under new federal climate rule. How can we make production and meet goals if we don't return production and keep plugging wells !!!!
How is the employee morale these days?
I left before the pandemic hit and I recently got an offer to return. I admit, I enjoyed my job at Apache, but the culture had deteriorated drastically by then so I had to get out for my own sake. Have things improved any? Is morale better? I'd... — read more
2024?
Anyone have insight ????? Other than moving the office to a less desirable part of town. I feel like a big Gotcha /Surprise is coming. That’s just my 2 cents….
Ranking system

Why nobody wants to buy us?
XOM bought PXD CVX bought HESS
When decide on COBRA?
Hi everyone! Is there anyone who knows until when we can accept COBRA and when our benefits come to an end?
GoM Decomissioning Video
APA released a decommissioning/"retirement" video patting themselves on the back for all the wonderful things they've done to save the environment in GoM. What they left out is the regulators FORCED them to do this at a very high price. It's always... — read more
Management changes
Oh, fabulous! It seems like our managers have developed a love for musical chairs lately. I mean, why not change them every month, right? It's not like consistency or stability are important in management. But hey, maybe I'm just not in on the... — read more
A&M review of north sea
Any got any insight to what the outcome of the review was for the North Sea?
Former Apache Here
Out with some friends last night and was roaring thinking about the stupid award ceremony- The Heart of Apache award etc. etc. Do you guys still waste time doing that?
What's the purpose of function leads?
What exactly have these positions contributed to anyone's career since ascend? Seems to me they have hardly any say in whatever HR is doing with raises, careers, or promotions, and just piggyback on whatever assets want. Who is leading who? Smh
Layoffs before Jan?
Thoughts?
I'm afraid that the leaving wave of REs and Geologists has just started...
... one month after the Framework. Hope we have enough people on the asset teams by year-end.
Severance question
There has been some talk about possible reductions in severance, is this true? I know severance is not guaranteed and it’s the good will of the company to provide it, but still. It’s hard to believe that Apache would hit us while we’re already down... — read more
Title Demotions for 25 Year Employees
This Will not improve morale. Good luck HR. Maybe be more transparent with the real reasons you do things. If you do this to them, you will clearly jerk anyone around.
We need to dust off our resumes
No high hopes that things will get better here. Quite the opposite. Have you started prioritizing the search for better alternatives yet?
Please buy us out!!!!!!
Clearly something is coming. Either massive layoffs or a buyout/merger. Please buy us out and lay us off This place is no Longer APACHE
Before the Move
I really wonder what other big changes happen before the move. I still expect a layoff Thoughts?
IT Director Gone
What’s up with this?!?!
They give a little but expect a lot
After I got a small raise, almost insignificant, the expectations from me increased a lot. My work literally doubled immediately, and I'm probably not the only one? Do they really think that it's ok to give minimum and raise the expectations... — read more
Apa announced job cuts in North Sea
Sad news
Merit Raise
It is safe to say that the merit raises for the Accounting Department were total BS. Did not come close to keeping up with inflation.
Uncertainty makes me unproductive
I keep hearing rumors about RIFs, but no one has any detailed insights. It makes me very anxious. Meanwhile, our boss has more unrealistic demands than ever, but who can be productive working in such a tense atmosphere?
EV Gone
Discuss.
