What went down? Heard 100+ tomorrow from a manager today.

Please be aware of the recruitment agencies, media and financial agencies that want to try and gain new business from the recent layoffs around OKC. I was with a large Oklahoma City company that closed and we they heard about the closure they were... — read more 

Tomorrow will be brutal. Today was only the appetizer. Now that the managers their fate do you think they know who on their teams will be axed?

WHY GOOD EMPLOYEES LEAVE? BY DAVID W. RICHARD A study came up with this surprising finding: If you're losing good people, look to their immediate supervisor. More than any other single reason, he is the reason people stay and thrive in an... — read more

Stories suck. Being laid off sucks. Knowing you worked your ass off for what seems to be nothing, sucks. Yet I know it's the company who has to survive. Laying off people isn't what they want. It isn't what they enjoy doing. So fighting back, for... — read more 

Failure is not an option. I'm always open to feedback. It is what it is. It just wasn't meant to be. Let's not reinvent the wheel. Perception is reality. That's probably not what you want to hear. There is no I in team. We'll do it now and apologize... — read more 

The management cuts seemed very lite on our floor, making me think they are going to take a major chunk of that 700 out on the lower peeps. I haven't seen or heard a number today but id doubt it was even more than 100. Thoughts?

Did she choked to death did they throw out of the building did she get promoted? Cockroaches always survive even in nuclear events and oil industry implosions.

Now that the excess fat has been trimmed from our company, does this mean I get to park in the new garage? I would love to have a closer spot.

Have any of the idiots in Supply Chain been escorted out yet?

We used to be a wel run company, then we built this tower as a symbol of the patriarchy and hired thousands on cisgender transphobes without working to make this company a safe space for our best people.

The HR VP I slept with just got laid off. I slept with him for protection but now I'm a sitting duck. I'm a good looking cisgender female, and if anyone knows someone of power who needs "convincing" let me know.

Please post names of the people as you find out.

It amazes me sometimes what people post because it is anonymous. I guess their real character is best shown when they can hide. Some of the posts on here indicate some people did not really deserve to be laid off....they should have been fired a long... — read more 

I heard their VP, Hobbs, was let go. Anyone else? He was a terrible person.

Should we get one going before 8? Posting initials, business units, areas? Or just let it bet now that we know it's happening?

Pretty depressing.

Why Houston has so many companies and understand why they do, whereas OKC has Devon, Sandridge, Chesapeake, Continental, and some much smaller companies. I know certain "heritage companies" were formed in Oklahoma, just wasn't exactly sure what's... — read more
