1429 after a few more were added today from HR (they obviously couldn't put them on the official list since we in HR have access to the list). A big chunk will be let go next Tuesday, with another major round next Thursday. Sorry to be the bearer of... — read more 

My opinion, I think it's best for the areas that are up for sale.. East Texas, Midland Basin, Mississipian areas.. Hopefully someone will buy that is willing to drill and recomplete some of these wells in these areas.

Stop worrying about layoffs, and start focusing on how you can add value to the company. My favorite Devon core value is "hire the best people" I started working here last year, I love my job, and the people I work with. We are the best, and will... — read more 

Thanks for the heads up Uncle Dave, however, iI feel like I am just waiting for the axe to fall. When will we know something? Am I supposed to sit here in silence and wait until I either get ejected or the end of the first quarter? Double you tee f... — read more 

I just bought 150 DVN put contracts expiring 1/29 at 19.50 strike. I guess you could say I'm not optimistic.

Keep: Under-forty white males Keep: India males Keep: Young girls with short skirts. Let go: The mature people Let go: The farting grandpas that fall asleep in the afternoons. Numbers: The number is 1400 across all of Devon. Contractors (Ciao):... — read more 

Management fail, first class: @FywX6Rt

Kevin Durant is leaving after this season then Rusell Westbrook to follow. There will be increase in bankruptcies, foreclosures, huge drop in home values and divorces. To top it all off OKC just needs a tornado outbreak this spring as most of the... — read more 

Does anybody know if DO is getting cut? If so, what business units?

The world is complicated. The crossroads that we are at today was the culmination of a series of mainly global events set into motion quite some time ago, none of which we have any control over. If we are being honest with ourselves, we know and... — read more 

Way too many slap sticks in Those groups. Hard to get anything from them that makes sense. Sometimes the geo's just fill they make stuff up and look at their management way too many brown noisers. Monkey could do managements job

Obviously no one cares about all you losers who are getting canned, just whether the bar at the top of the building will stay open.

WTF peloton......eat a bag of dicks. Wellview is just a polished turd anyway. I think I could replicate it in MSAccess in a week with 1 Indian, 1 Ukrainian, and 1 North Korean developer

Any talk that the Devon coffee shop will close? I love that place.

Going to work everyday is about as demoralizing as going to a funeral

How many employees do we have? 6k? So, 1.5k cut would eliminate 25% - that would be the largest one time O&G layoff ever (in the history of the industry - percentagewise and affecting Fortune 500 companies)

Our approach is brutal. Announcing that there will be layoffs with no real timeframe etc. wow we will all be very productive while we wait for the grim reaper to walk down the hall. A good friend in HR confirmed that the numbers will be even higher... — read more 

This is horrible.. I feel like we are nothing but numbers.. This company has grown ice cold.. At a loss for representative words..

I know it's hard for all of us and that many people are frustrated. Let's share this discussion space in a civilized manner and with respect to all who read this. I know there are many spouses, friends&family and children who are following the news... — read more 

Do we know if the severance payment terms will be changing for the folks that will be laid off in 2016. Heard rumors but nothing from HR

Despite some folks claiming that all is good, I have to tell you that Devon has started laying people off already. The cuts took place in IT, and this will continue at an accelerated pace over next few weeks - this has been in plans for a while and... — read more 

Ironically, Devon Energy just hired a new Exec VP (from outside the company) in the last week. In addition, several VP's were promoted to Exec VP's. Bad timing or bad decisions?

There's not much about Devon Canada on here. Is there any news there?

I still see some open jobs in IT - is this for real? I mean we are bleeding right now, would would anyone hire now

My two cents, not trying to preach, just sharing my thoughts... Please read if you are interested... I have had friends losing their lives over the past months. Understand that the problem looks bigger when you stare at it long enough, and tunnel... — read more

People are already starting to disappear. Six people from my floor where just called to HR. I have been told to expect The number to be around 1400 people. This is for all of Devon including the divestiture.

They could cut 1000 out of the tower and the company wouldn't miss a beat. Way too much fat

We can see lots of people making their way into the auditorium at Devon currently. Town Hall starting at 2 p.m. They layoffs coming. It's bad over there. PS: I wonder if they can sell the giant Christmas ornaments for some extra cash.

Down almost 15 percent today. Well, this is fun...
