Tough Times

Tough Times are ahead, but Devon is still a great place to work. I would rather stay here and hope to make it through than go anywhere else. At least I know that Devon won't leave me high and dry like other companies. They provide a severance package... — read more

You are a number.....

Going Back is not an option.

Just remember you were deemed not to be someone that was good for Devon's long term strategy. Going back is not an option even if oil and gas recovers. You're on your own now and the big paycheck is gone. Those of us still here know we are the lucky... — read more
