Devon Really?
Why can our stock not rise above .65% per day after a loss of 3.5% the prior day, wash/rinse/repeat. . All other oil and gas companies are up 6-7%. Continental, Marathon, etc. blowing Devon away. No confidence in the leadership, Wall Street not... — read more
HR question
Anybody here had any dealings with the HR? Should I approach them with an issue about my manager or not?
Delaware Basin Properties sold- Carrizo is taking over in Q4
These kind of news always gets me p-ss-d. It’s like they are purposely chopping our company assets and just handing them out to the competition, while at the same time we are shrinking.If they keep selling our property at this rate, soon enough there... — read more
Strategery
DH and gang are allowing the slow bleed to continue. Strategically removing the need to layoff anymore employees... that G&A number they planned at beginning of the year will be hit soon enough...
Town Hall
As part of my sovereign duty to you, the workers of Devon. I would like to use my skills for everyone in the meeting to know when DH is fibbing. Yes this will be much like the political fact finding articles that are given say “One Pinocchio, Two... — read more
Dave Hager...comedy genius
I sure hope Dave opens his act tomorrow with, "there seems to be a whole open section over here for everyone coming in." I love that joke. It's a good one to get the crowd going. I also hope he introduces his new material on biases and how they... — read more
Devon stock moving up again, good news?
I was getting really nervous watching our stock slide down once again for nearly a month, but that trend seems to be over and it is going up once again. I personally thinks this is really good news when it comes to layoffs. Strong stock means fewer... — read more
Perfect weekend
I got my medical card in the mail yesterday and I’m headed to Colorado this morning. This weekend could not have turned out better. Happy Labor Day weekend everyone. This guy will be much more happy on Tuesday back at the glass house.
Townhall
Anyone want to take the odds of 5:1 DH will drop another comment of less people in the room or 100:1 DH will attempt to be transparent and fail miserably about G&A plans?
Devon Tower has Creepy Look.
Dread coming to work. The whole tower creates an illusion of wealth and success. But inside...a totally different thing. I feel afraid to even make a personal phone call.
Cannot Wait to Leave Oklahoma
I am hoping the day comes when I am offered a severance package. To think I made the stupid decision to move to this God forsaken state makes me scream. My home is up for sale, so I am getting ready to move home to Alabama.
Which floor has the fewest people?
With so many gone, I have wondered which floor has the fewest employees?
When JWN passed away.......
This whole company went to sh--. LN only waited one year to go to Executive Chairman, Bring in the Canadian loser, Terminate the Western Division in favor of the Central Division, 5 JV's all busted, Terminate BF, The loser from Canada is replaced... — read more
Why do we stay?
Stockholm syndrome?
How can one respectfully request a severance?
Seriously, I would jump at the chance to be packaged out of this goofy high school. Can’t believe I relocated for this dog and pony show.
Give For Good
I expect this year’s campaign might fall a bit flat.
How long do The Ties get?
The DVN BOD seems to be the most patient in the industry. At what point do they find a team that can execute for gosh sakes? How simple must the organization be before it can be managed by those studs in their ties?
Discrimination lawsuits are coming
I got my doctors recomendation today for medical cannabis. I talked to my attorney last Friday and I am set. If they fire me, I’ll be leaving with a big bag of cash when I file my discrimination lawsuit. I just hope that I don’t suffer from some sort... — read more
Retention
Can’t wait for dis retention to hit this month so I can jump
Layoffs
“So I am not saying there will be layoffs but I am not saying there won’t be layoffs....” classic
Dave
Dave hates engineers. Dave is the problem.
Pathetic earnings. Awful.
Earnings. After laying off 100’s and prices at historic unforeseen highs, we miss on revenue????? Vote of no confidence. To all the majors out there, please buy us. We don’t know wtf we are doing. We couldn’t make money if we tried. And once certain... — read more
WHAT'S WRONG WITH ME???
I keep having nightmares that I'm trapped in a town hall where our DH is on the stage yodeling for eternity in the exact same voice as that walmart yodeling kid on youtube. How do I make it stop?
Get ready for the rough ride
Analysts are going to have a field day with these earnings
No chatter on layoffs
Should I dare hope we are looking at better days because there's been little if any chatter on more layoffs? Or is that too much to hope for?
DVN and CLR should switch buildings
DVN should ask CLR to get their old building back. Few months/years from now the almighty tower will be half empty. Seems like CLR is still hiring and getting bigger.
Security
What’s up with the increased security today
Finally the EC steps up
Finally they are starting to get rid of dead weight. Thank goodness. No need to pay a babysitter millions a year If only they would cut deeper and remove the top tiers
It's all for nothing
I know so many good people who were laid off after decades with Devon just to be replaced with cheap, much younger employees who barely know what they are doing. They all worked hard, gave it their all, and for what? So that the company could use... — read more
D&C Engineers
Get ready for the mass exodus. It’s already starting.
Devon: Highering several accountant positions.
Several Accountant positions plastered on LinkedInm - Grab them while their hot, but remember, they just laid off everyone with half a brain. That means very little training to do the tasks of 3 formerly seasoned professionals. Remember a few years... — read more
Rebuilding the EHS Empire
Wow, wow. Im just astonished. After all the layoffs, now i see an EHS position in Cuero, Artesia, and yes even Gillette! Does management have any clue what it costs to lay off good people, pay severance, throw away thousands in training costs, and... — read more
Welcome to the Club
Dear Devon, Once again, welcome to the club! Sincerely, Chesapeake Energy
Finally made the decision
I've finally decided to leave Devon. I've been on the fence for a while now, but to be honest the complete lack of job security pushed me to finally bite the bullet and accept the offer that comes with somewhat less pay but also with much less... — read more
Strata - report
In reference to another post about looking at the financials of the various fields to see who gets sold next. Go to strata. Search core reports. Think you’ll be surprised to see the STACK. Enjoy
Coffee talk
TL:DR..Coffee talk instills yet more distrust. Mass exodus deemed unworthy of correction. Was recently involved in a coffee talk with someone SVP and above. Not going to say who or exactly when as I’m sure big brother could narrow down who is posting... — read more
Next round?
Any rumors of next round, I have heard some fairly unreliable rumors that there will be another round before year end. Anyone else?
