Some say the job market is great

If the job market was as great as some say, I guess I would have already gotten a new job. I've been looking for a new opportunity for a long time now. What are your experiences with job hunting lately?

Maybe they are bothered by the competent

Mediocrities are on the rise and people with knowledge and skills seem to have become just a nuisance to them? Some of the people who are climbing to the top here very quickly now, in the past wouldn't even be able to get a job here.

LTIP

This is just a speculation: do you think there is a chance that they will take LTIP? Someone mentioned the example of taking away LTIP for anyone below manager title and I sincerely hope that won't happen. I don’t believe it could happen.

No one's going to mention raises???

Came over to see the general feeling about how raises went this year. Seems like first time in a long time a real measurable change for employees comes along and I'm just surprised no one here is saying anything. Not really expecting sentiments of a... — read more

Helloooo execs! Mass resignations in revenue accounting. Doesn’t anyone question what is happening????

Dear APA shareholders, be concerned

Former CEO of Noble Energy was elected to the APA BOD. Dare you to find a better example of poor leadership, poor decision making, and overall ineptness. Sold Noble at the bottom of the pandemic in 2020 to CVX when there was no need or driver other... — read more

Higher oil price

I really thought that the rise in oil prices would reflect on the overall atmosphere here and that it would be much better than when the price plummeted to historic lows during pandemic. But how much has the atmosphere at Apache really improved?... — read more

Complaints to HR

What does HR do with employee complaints? I know a man who addressed them with a valid complaint of discrimination but it was literally just ignored.

MAGA and other small complains

When are they going to MAGA? Make Apa great again? What about offering towels at the gym? That laundry/service costs less than executive’s annual membership to the Houstonian. Or stop “making money” by selling Assets instead of optimizing them and... — read more

Distribution of work

The distribution of work is rather strange at the Apache. While some never get to relax, others do almost nothing. I have nothing against them, but I have noticed that the distribution of work has never been more unfair. By what principle are some... — read more 

When will be rid of terrible managers

Does HR not care? Does the assistant controller not care? When 1 Accounting “manager” has the most people leave and everyone miserable under them. Does nobody care? You aren’t a Boss you’re just a B.

Omg the class action filing

Hahaha omg you guys need to go read this thing. It’s so terrible. MANY former employees clearly interviewed and provided details to these plaintiff attorneys. Apache is fcckkkkkeeeeddddd.

What’s next

I have been guessing a buyout or selling Legacy. assets……. Sooooooo……

Is the New goal to get everyone to quit

Sure seems like it. Putting happy people under terrible “leaders” and running off the experienced help. Just wait until massive resignations in the Spring. And no open positions? Hmmm. Sounds like brilliant planning. Smh

Job hunting

I have been looking for a new job for almost five months now. I could have gone to a company that is no better than this, but that wouldn't make much sense. I hope this search doesn't take much longer, I’m getting a little depressed when I hear... — read more

Trusting the manager

The fact that I can no longer trust my manager is terrible demotivating for me. Whenever he says something optimistic, I know it won't be like that. It is impossible to trust someone who is promising more than he can deliver. Is there anyone here who... — read more

All talented people are a threat to them

This is not the first manager to treat the most talented of my colleagues so badly. Sometimes it makes me sick to witness such a bad attitude towards people that any company with a bright future would love to have. Do you notice how the management is... — read more

Where are people applying?

What's the best alternative to Apache? I've been looking around and it seems that most of the usual suspects have the same problems that we've been having, and then some extra ones to boot. I don't care about getting a job with higher pay if it's... — read more

Going through the pandemic

Even in my wildest dreams, I could not have imagined that this pandemic would happen. All of this has been going on for too long and these days I’m wondering if Apache could have dealt better with the pandemic? Any thoughts? This thing with... — read more 

Not a company to stay longer than a year

Someone asked who's joining the Apache now. Unfortunately, among those who couldn’t find anything else, there are even some talented people who somehow ended up here. I have a new young colleague who I still can’t believe has applied for a job... — read more

Reputation of the company - does anyone care?

I'm a little ashamed to tell people where I work now. It wasn't like that before, nor could anyone look down on me when I said where I worked. Now I wonder if this company has ever cared about its reputation? I think it used to, but today none of... — read more

The worst managers are the most valued here

It's weird. We had a great manager and he worked here for a very short time. Then the biggest bully came in his place and he is still there. I lost all hope of ever getting laid off. Is this company best suited for the worst and most hated managers... — read more

Why do they always make promises they can't keep?

I haven't believed in our management'a promises for a long time and I think that people who take their promises seriously can be counted on one hand. It is well known that no one at Apache trusts them anymore, but managers still continue to make... — read more
