I hear that Planning has its sights on technical staff - too many, too expensive. There's some meeting scheduled at the end of May. I hear layoffs could happen by July. Anyone else hearing this?

What’s the real story behind this.

To some extent, it is clear to everyone how those who do not deserve promotion still get promoted despite their lack of competence. However, why is that those who really deserve it often do not get promoted and eventually end up leaving here? I am... — read more 

Well, another long timer gone from revenue. How many good ones do we have to lose before someone takes notice and does something

I guess that's just corporate America.

All they do is plan the demise of Apache and now they are on yet another G&A witch hunt. If you are not in one of the protected corporate teams look out since I am sure they will be left unscathed once again. I am sure their power hungry egomaniac... — read more 

When is the new year salary going to be announced? Any rumors about raises?

Announced today, and another geo lead laid off

Only been gone for 6 months but the BEST 6 months of my life! Working at a competitor now and had no idea how bad things had gotten at Apache.

Managers can be completely oblivious or just Totally ANNOYING micromanaging MONSTERS. 5 people quit because they treat people poorly in a year?!?!?!?! And nothing happens!? Toxic toxic toxic. And people wonder why all those people left Apache... — read more 

Get back to Basics. Stop with all these unnecessary positions and initiatives. Perfect example is the lunch and learn on how “Hop hop changed the world”. What does that have to do with oil and gas extraction? Whomever is budgeting these items... — read more 

Does it make sense to you? Are there going to be some shuffling of team members between two assets?

These kids are running the show? This model seems a bit scary

Total likely to have what they wanted. Article in OilNow about "Suriname relaxes taxes under Petroleum Act; could this fast-forward FID this year?"

Were there always so many EVPs? Hmmm the company isn’t getting any bigger. Sooooooo!?

“TotalEnergies and Apache’s hesitancy is understandable when it is considered that it will take around $10 billion to develop Block 58 and capitalize on the considerable oil potential the block holds.” At Oilprice.com

I'll never forget the TC Swag campaign from times past. What a brave relic.

A couple of questions to current Apaches: So did they tell the employees in advance or did they find out the morning of? Does this reflect Apache not being a big player anymore? Is the lease year to year to they can sell when they find a su---r? What... — read more 

So we sold snook ! What is next ??

It is not surprising that many more people are dedicated to looking for a new job, rather than actually investing effort in their job here. Honestly, how much effort do you put in to get the work done? I'd assume that most of us do only the bare... — read more 

Why is taking so long to declare commerciality for Suri discoveries?

Lots of people are disappearing. All ages and titles. Many are just waiting until after Feb or hoping for a buyout. It’s quite a shame. If we sell much more we will only need 300 people in Houston.

I intend to submit my resignation because this company has never seemed more directionless than it does now. If the leadership had some concrete and serious long-term plans, the management would at least care a little more about knowledgeable... — read more 

Is it true legacy will be sold next year ?

There is no hope here for someone who thinks that they will succeed in achieving something with their hard work. This is where careers come to die. Maybe it hasn't always been that way, but in the short time I've been here, Apache has only changed... — read more 

What happens when oil isn’t 80$+. All these new positions created for the woke masses should be first OUT

News on the Houston Chronicle

All these years, for as long as I've been working here, I don't think there have ever been more pretenders here than now. Maybe I'm wrong? On the one hand, there are those who are overloaded with work, have experience and are almost not valued at... — read more 

They are already telling us that the bonus next year will be lower because of production targets, but Apa finally is having record profits. Explain that.

How in the world somebody with no engineering background or any sort of technical background was promoted to GM in the North Sea? How does that even make sense…

We are pushing functional leads out faster than our reserve base dwindles. Could we be seeing the beginning of the dismantling of the fake reorg, orchestrated to save our over-fed leaders skin, which disabled an already poorly functioning system. We... — read more 

Wut? I heard we’re moving offices? Is it gonna be Energy corridor or higheay 8 and westheimer?

APA Corp has the most inept corporate leadership around. Listening to C-Man, SR and DP bumble their way through another earnings call makes me want to pu-e. Listened to PXD, DVN and others report and the difference is breathtaking. The BOD directors... — read more 

Ooohhh weeeee! They promote the most undeserving foreman to a Manager?!?!?! That guy is home daily by 2pm, sitting in his recliner. What a effing joke!

It’s time to replace her. Retire or leave so we can get some needed changes. Too many clowns in management.

Those hush bonuses must be saweeeet!

Wonder what we will sell next?

Crazy that any company would put this guy on their board. He made so many bad moves at Noble Energy. What a poor leadership decision.

If some analysis were made of how many people left Apache due to an incompetent manager, I think the results would be very interesting.......
